Capacitive Touch IO (CAPTIO)
14.1 Capacitive Touch IO Introduction
The Capacitive Touch IO module allows implementation of a simple capacitive touch sense application.
The module uses the integrated pullup and pulldown resistors and an external capacitor to form an
oscillator by feeding back the inverted input voltage sensed by the input Schmitt triggers to the pullup and
pulldown control.
