ToolSt ick-CapTouchSenseDC
10. Capacitive Touch Sense Switches
The capacitive touch sensitive switches on the CapTouchSenseDC are implemented as relaxation oscillators, with
the PCB trace forming the touch-sensitive capacitive element. The relaxation oscillator is constructed using the on-
chip analog comparator, on-chip resistors in the C8051F931 MCU. The on-chip analog multiplexer allows multiple
switches to be operated using one comparator.
