25 MIPS, 8 kB Flash, Ultra Low Power, Capacitive Sensing MCU

The QuickSense? C8051F99x family of capacitive sensing MCUs provides the lowest power and highest sensitivity touch sensing solution for capacitive buttons, sliders, wheels and capacitive proximity sensing. Architected from the popular C8051F9xx platform the device features a 150 μA/MHz active mode and multiple sleep modes as low as 10 nA.? With up to 14 capacitive sensing inputs and a patent-pending charge timing hardware capacitance to digital converter, the C8051F99x achieves unparalleled touch sensitivity, speed and ultra-low power in packages as small as a 3 mm x 3 mm QFN20.
