TIDM-CAPTIVATE-MSP432

Design files

Overview

This reference design demonstrates how to interface an MSP430 MCU featuring CapTIvate™ technology with an MSP432 MCU host microcontroller using the CapTIvate Software Library communications module. The design integrates capacitive touch technology with haptics, an MSP432 MCU as host, driving a color QVGA LCD screen.

Features
  • Ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontroller featuring CapTIvate touch technology and FRAM
  • Mutual capacitance HMI with 17 buttons, 2 sliders, 1 wheel, a proximity/guard channel and haptics
  • MSP432 MCU, a low-power, high-performance 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4F host 
  • 320 x 240 pixel SPI controlled TFT QVGA display  
  • CapTIvate Design Center support
