Capacitive Touch MSP430FR2676 MCU Board

1

Introduction

The CapTIvate MSP430FR2676 MCU board (CAPTIVATE-FR2676) is a simple evaluation board for
evaluating capacitive touch and proximity sensors through the use of plug-in sensor boards (sold
separately). The MCU board has a 20-pin female debug connector for debugging the on-board

MSP430FR2676 CapTIvate MCU

and a 48-pin sensor panel connector for connecting to external

capacitive touch sensors. Also included on the MCU board is a partially filled BoosterPack™ plug-in
module header, which enables limited support for the LaunchPad™ kit and BoosterPack module
ecosystem.
