H U M A N I N T E R FA C E S E L E C T O R G U I D E / 4 QuickSense™ Mutual-Capacitive Sense Technology At the heart of the C8051F76x is the multi-touch resolve (MTR) block. The block is a true capacitance to digital converter with 16 simultaneous high-speed SAR ADCs. The ADCs are 10-bit converters and with the help of the accumulator, can expand the conversion to a full 16-bits. This is particularly valuable because the RISC core, the DMA and the MAC are all able to efficiently process 16-bit data. The result is a surprisingly low 800 µA scanning current and a very wide dynamic range. In...
