Texas Instruments
Published : 08 Jul 13
Description
The PinOsc feature of the MSP430 microcontroller value line family provides a simple and straight forward mechanism to measure capacitance. The PinOsc feature not only allows for touch detection but also provides enough sensitivity to support proximity applications. This application report demonstrates a 10+-cm proximity detection BoosterPack design solution. The software uses the PinOsc feature a
