Infineon has introduced a brand new entry in its PSOC microcontroller lineup, designed to drive industrial management and human-machine interface (HMI) tasks: the PSOC 4100T Plus with Multi-Sense know-how.
“Infineon is dedicated to delivering best-in-class system management and HMI options with enhanced reliability,” says Infineon’s Vibheesh Bharathan, who led the PSOC 4 Multi-Sense challenge. “Our Multi-Sense functionality represents a paradigm shift, driving next-generation sensing options for HMI and system management use circumstances. On this manner, we’re enabling the digitalization options of tomorrow for shopper and industrial functions.”

The PSOC 4100T Plus, delivered to our consideration by CNX Software program, is constructed round an Arm Cortes-M0+ core operating at as much as 48MHz, as much as 32kB of static RAM (SRAM), and as much as 128kB of flash reminiscence. There is a 12-bit successive-approximation (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC), as much as 53 general-purpose enter/output (GPIO) pins with eight “good I/O” pins, and a fifth-generation CAPSENSE subsystem — providing assist for as much as 32 self-capacitive inputs, as much as 256 mutual-capacitive inputs, or as much as 16 inductive inputs.
Elsewhere within the chip is assist for liquid stage sensing, hover-touch sensing, six 16-bit time/counter/pulse-width modulator blocks, two serial communication blocks which might be configured as UART, I2C, or SPI buses, three devoted UART buses, and what the corporate claims is “best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio.”

The corporate is positioning the brand new half as not solely appropriate to be used as a general-purpose microcontroller however as a manner of bringing the invoice of supplies below management in a spread of application-specific situations together with being embedded in house home equipment, shopper electronics, and driving touchpad and touchscreen functions.
Extra info is obtainable on the PSOC 4100T Plus product web page; the corporate has additionally launched a prototyping equipment primarily based across the chip, which is obtainable to order direct at $19.93 plus transport.
