The Gen6 SoC gives you a programmable 32-bit RISC core, 16 parallel ADC channels, and a complete analog front end in one IC. Build control panels, buttons, sliders, proximity sensors, and level-sensing products without a separate host MCU.
Gen6 is a full MCU with capacitive sensing built in. Its programmable CPU, I2C host interface, GPIOs, PWM, UART, and co-processor let you run your entire product firmware on the same IC that handles your sensor measurements.
Run your application firmware directly on the Gen6 32-bit RISC core. Fewer ICs, smaller BOM, simpler PCB layout, faster time to market.
16 parallel ADC channels with high SNR, wide gain and offset range, mutual and self-cap modes, driven shield, and multi-frequency impedance measurements.
The analog co-processor handles signal processing and data reduction, freeing CPU cycles so your application firmware has headroom for your product logic.
Host and client I2C (up to Fast Mode Plus), dual UART, up to 9 GPIOs with PWM, PS/2, and LED drive support. Connect sensors, displays, and communication buses directly.
Every part ships with a pre-programmed I2C bootloader. Load your firmware in-circuit without specialized programmers. Secure boot capable with 2 KB protected flash.
Active scanning at 16 mA, idle polling at 3.2 mA, deep sleep at 100 uA. Configurable timeout thresholds let you tune battery life to your product requirements.
Three package options scale from compact wearables to large sensor arrays. All share the same core architecture, toolchain, and firmware platform.
Gen6 supports mutual-cap, self-cap, and multi-frequency impedance modes. One platform handles a wide range of sensing topologies.
Replace mechanical switches with capacitive touch zones. Design multi-button panels, keypads, and appliance interfaces with moisture immunity and no moving parts. Up to 48 individually configurable electrodes, 6 of which double as discrete button inputs.
Capacitive buttons, linear sliders, scroll wheels, rotary encoders, and directional inputs. Low-latency scanning with configurable report rates. Use self-cap mode for simple touch detection or mutual-cap for higher resolution.
Self-capacitance mode with driven shield detects presence at distance or material levels through non-conductive walls. The CustomMeas firmware gives you raw measurement data for custom algorithms. As low as 100 uA in sleep.
Multi-frequency impedance measurements support resistive bridges, load cells, and body composition sensors. One IC handles both capacitive sensing and analog measurement in a single design.
Capacitive interfaces in real products face moisture, grease, temperature swings, and electrical noise. Gen6 gives you the tools to tune your sensor design for reliable operation where it matters most.
Wet hands, steam, grease films, and cleaning agents. Programmable gain and offset let you compensate for changing surface conditions on oven panels, range hoods, and dishwasher controls.
Factory floors with heavy EMI, vibration, and wide temperature swings. High SNR across 16 parallel ADC channels and multi-frequency sensing help reject conducted and radiated noise.
Rain, condensation, and temperature extremes from -25 to 85 degrees C. Driven shield mode and configurable measurement frames let you maintain detection through moisture and frost.
Washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, and thermostats. Sealed, no-gap panel designs with no mechanical wear. The programmable AFE waveform adapts to overlay thickness and material.
