TI's new reliable, anti-jamming capacitive sensing MCUs bring touch control technology to cost-sensitive industrial applications

TI has introduced the MSP430 TM microcontroller (MCU) family of products using CapTIvate TM technology to provide capacitive sensing for cost-sensitive applications. Developers can use the new MSP430FR2512 and MSP430FR2522 MCUs with integrated capacitive touch to add up to 16 buttons and proximity sensing for industrial systems, home automation systems, appliances, power tools, home entertainment, personal audio applications and more.

Key features and benefits of the new capacitive touch MCU

Reliable, Optimized Performance: The MSP430FR2512 and MSP430FR2522 MCUs provide an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61000-4-6 certified capacitive sensing MCU solution for applications exposed to electromagnetic interference, oil, water and grease. The new MCU consumes five times less power than competing products, supporting proximity sensing and touch through glass, plastic and metal overlays.

Capacitive Touch MCUs for Cost-Sensitive Applications: TI's CapTIvate technology adds the benefits of capacitive touch and proximity sensing to applications such as access control panels, cooktops, wireless speakers and power tools.

Reduce time to market: Developers can quickly evaluate the capacitive sensing of their applications using the new BOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD BoosterPack TM plug-in module, which is compatible with the CapTIvate Programmer Board (CAPTIVATE-PGMR) or TI LaunchPad TM Development Kit. The BoosterPack module incorporates a range of MCUs, easy-to-use tools, software, reference designs and documentation in the CapTIvate Design Center and online CapTIvate Technical Guide. In addition, developers can join the Texas Instruments online support community to find solutions, get help, and accelerate development with CapTIvate technology.

Packaging and supply

The MSP430FR2512 and MSP430FR2522 MCUs are available in volume production in a 20-pin ultra-thin quad flat no-lead (VQFN) package and a 16-pin thin compact outline package (TSSOP).

Connectors System

We cover many types of Connectors for industrial, electrical and automotive, such as IP68 and waterproof connectors, OBD diagnostic connectors, also the standard or custom-designed power connectors for MINI FIT, MICRO FIT, MATE-N-LOCK.


We can support customers to copy some original componenst for local/equivalent connecotors by considering short L/T and competitive price. Also it's workable to offer solutions for unique and customized connectors by overmold tooling with low cost.
