Microcontrollers With Touch, Capacitive Touch Controllers and 3D Gesture Controllers


Enhance your product’s user interface by replacing mechanical push buttons with a touch- or gesture-controlled interface. This is an excellent way to add value and advanced features to your application, increase customer appeal and improve your product’s performance and reliability.

Touch Use Cases and Applications


We offer capacitive touch solutions for a variety of use cases, including:

  • Single buttons
  • Touchpads
  • Touchscreens
  • Proximity detection
  • 3D gesture control

The applications for our solutions include:

  • Automotive
  • Consumer
  • Home appliances
  • Industrial
  • Point-of Sale (POS) terminals

Our touch products include turnkey capacitive touch controllers, touch libraries for implementing touch sensing on most PIC®, AVR® and SAM microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and single-chip solutions for adding gesture recognition to almost any product.

Our products are extremely well suited to meet modern design challenges such as mitigating electrical/display noise, reducing power consumption in wearables, supporting functional safety requirements and implementing touch in wet environments or for gloved-finger operation.

Leverage our extensive knowledge of designing touch interfaces. Our global technical support team and easy-to-use development tools to simplify and speed up the development of your touch-enabled products.

Reliable, Safe and Easy-to-Design Touch User Interfaces


From single buttons to large touchscreens, touch wheels, sliders and smart surfaces, our leading capacitive touch solutions enable you to easily design robust, safe and innovative user interfaces.
