Overview
The Smart Wake Up reference design enables low-power consumption standby with a capacitive touch evaluation system.
Features
- Low‑power standby consumption of approximately 90% less current than conventional operation (with 12 channels); automatic judgment, multiple‑electrode connection, and snooze functions significantly reduce current consumption.
- Evaluation tool is ready to use; both hardware and sample software are ready to use.
- Proposal of applications assuming use cases; preparing a demonstration of use cases for proximity operation, which is in high demand.
