MILPITAS, Calif., March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LUMISSIL MICROSYSTEMS, a Division of ISSI, today announced a new addition to the family of capacitive touch sensor controllers consisting of IS31SE5120 Touch Sensor and IS31CS8977 MCU which simplify the replacement of mechanical buttons in a variety of applications such as home appliances, IoT devices, instrumentation, control panels and liquid level measurement devices. This enables easy prototyping and rapid implementation into any product. The downloadable software package is part of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that comes complete with a standard code and calibration GUI.

“Adding the new products to the Lumissil portfolio opens up many opportunities in Automotive, White Goods and Small Appliances that may require larger sensor count and high performance touchless sensing,” said Ven Shan, VP of Marketing at Lumissil Microsystems. “With rapid adoption of Touchless, Proximity & Gesture sensing, this enhanced family of devices offer customers a broader range of cost effective and easy to use solutions in their applications.”

IS31CS8977 MCU is supplied with IDE, code libraries for free SDCC compiler or for a Keil compiler. It enables a complete and flexible utilization of part’s features for any type of capacitive sensing. IS31SE5120 Cap-touch sensor is supplied as a quick-implementation turn-key product with a standard code. They are applicable for a variety of cap-touch sensors interfaces (button, wheel, slider and proximity) and materials (glass, plastics, wood etc.).

The IS31SE5120 sensor calibration GUI enables simple device configuration in one flow for calibrating capacitive touch sensors, configuring GPIO ports and saving configuration directly to a file or target device’s flash, with no programing required. A GPIO can also be configured to output melody using on-chip melody/tone generator. Product debugging support is available from ISSI’s application engineers.
