ATMXT640UD

The ATMXT640UD is a high-performance capacitive touch controller designed by Microchip Technology for advanced human-machine interface (HMI) applications. It supports up to 64 simultaneous touch points, enabling precise multi-touch functionality across large and complex touch panels. The device operates with a low-power architecture, making it ideal for battery-powered systems requiring extended operational life without compromising responsiveness. This touch controller features an integrated self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance sensing architecture, allowing flexibility in panel design and improved noise immunity. It includes a built-in I²C interface for fast communication with host microcontrollers, supporting data rates up to 400 kHz, ensuring real-time touch response. The ATMXT640UD also incorporates a robust anti-noise algorithm that minimizes false triggers caused by environmental interference such as EMI or moisture. The chip supports various touch panel configurations including glass-on-glass, glass-on-plastic, and bare metal designs, offering designers greater freedom in form factor and material selection. It includes dynamic calibration routines that automatically adjust to changes in temperature, humidity, and panel aging, maintaining consistent performance over time. Additionally, the device provides multiple power modes—active, idle, and sleep—to optimize energy consumption based on system requirements. Designed for industrial, consumer, and automotive applications, the ATMXT640UD excels in environments demanding reliability and durability. Its wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 3.6V ensures compatibility with diverse power supplies, while its compact 32-pin QFN package reduces board space usage. The device also includes comprehensive diagnostics and error reporting mechanisms, simplifying system integration and troubleshooting during development and deployment. With support for gesture recognition such as swipe, pinch, and tap, the ATMXT640UD enables intuitive user interactions in smart appliances, medical devices, industrial control panels, and automotive infotainment systems. Its programmable interrupt pin and flexible GPIOs allow seamless integration with external components like LEDs, buttons, or sensors. Microchip’s extensive software ecosystem, including libraries and development tools, further accelerates time-to-market for touch-enabled products using this controller.
