Design Guides/reference manuals on CapSense by Cypress

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has released five new CapSense Design Guides/reference manuals detailing the CapSense technology and its implementation into end products. CapSense is the name for Cypress' capacitive touch sense technology.

The five new Design Guides include a Getting Started Guide which is a must-read for those new to CapSense and interested in detailed discussion on key points such as design consideration, PCB layout guidelines and best practices. The four product design guides focus on each CapSense controller family, streamlining the design process for the CY8C20x34, CY8C20xx6A, CY8C21x34, and CY8CMBR2044 families.

Each family design guide includes links to the entire design ecosystem including data sheets, application notes, software tools, development kits and other materials that help designers create more efficient designs faster. These guides also assist in your design for advanced UI features such as proximity and water proofing. The guides are available for download today at www.cypress.com/go/capsense.
