^ Microchip INTELLIGENT ANALOG: Sensor Interfacing and Signal Conditioning Peripheral Spotlight Peripheral Touch Controller The powerful tiny ONE series (tiny416/817/1617) MCUs feature the Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC), which enables you to easily add capacitive buttons and sliders to your embedded application. The PTC autonomously acquires and processes capacitive touch inputs without external components. On-chip hardware based noise filtering, moisture tolerance and zero-drift temperature compensation ensure reliable sensor operation in the harshest of operating climates. Additionally,...

Peripheral Spotlight Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation Many embedded applications require the measurement of analog voltages, along with a significant amount of post-processing and signal analysis. Typically, these tasks place a heavy burden on MCU hardware and can significantly lengthen your code development cycle. The Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (ADC2) peripheral, available on several PIC MCU families, implements a suite of post-processing features in hardware, including low-pass filtering, oversampling and averaging. The ADC2 also automates signal acquisition tasks...
