Kit Operation
❐
References can be routed to internal high-impedance analog resources: ADC, VDAC,
comparator, and opamps.
❐
References can also be routed to a GPIO if buffered through an opamp.
■
CapSense
❐
Measures capacitance; can be used with capacitive sensors such as in liquid level or touch
sensing applications
❐
Self- and mutual-capacitive sensing methods
❐
Improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) using spread spectrum clock and programmable
slew rate control
■
IDACs
❐
Two 7-bit current DACs (IDACs) for use with CapSense or for general-purpose applications
❐
A single 8-bit IDAC can be created by combining the two IDACs in parallel
❐
37.5 nA LSB current for precise capacitance measurements
❐
Six output current ranges (4.76 µA to 609 µA) in source or sink configuration

8-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller
■
Watch crystal oscillator (WCO) for real-time clock (RTC) applications
■
Three serial communication blocks (SCBs), each configurable as SPI, I
2
C, or UART
■
Eight 16-bit timer / counter / pulse-width modulator (TCPWM) blocks
I/O Subsystem
■
Up to 38 GPIOs that can be used for analog, digital, CapSense, or segment LCD functions
■
Programmable drive modes and slew rates
■
Eight Smart I/Os that can implement Boolean operations on pin signals
