Texas Instruments MSP CapTIvate MCU development kit

Click2Contact

Texas Instruments’ MSP CapTIvate microcontroller (MCU) development kit is a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform providing real-time sensor tuning, all without writing a single line of code. The modular design, easy-to-access data and application-orientated approach of the MSP430FR2633-based MCU board contained within the kit make it suitable for application in thermostats, whitegoods and personal electronics.

The kit contains a CAPTIVATE-FR2633 target MCU module, CAPTIVATE-PGMR eZ-FET with EnergyTrace technology and HID communication bridge, CAPTIVATE-ISO UART, I2C, SBW isolation board, CAPTIVATE-BSWP self-capacitance demo, CAPTIVATE-PHONE mutual capacitance demo with haptics and guard channel and CAPTIVATE-PROXIMITY proximity detection and gesturing demo.

The MSP430FR2633-based MCU board, a programmer/debugger board with EnergyTrace technology, measures energy consumption with the TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE) and sensor boards to evaluate self-capacitance, mutual capacitance, gesture and proximity sensing. Users can evaluate the MSP430FR2633 microcontroller with CapTIvate touch technology, which provides a high-resolution capacitive-touch solution. MSP MCUs with CapTIvate technology are low-power capacitive-touch MCUs with 10 V_RMS noise immunity and support for dirtproof, glove-friendly designs.
