Semtech SX8660

Ultra Low Power, Capacitive Button Touch Controller (8 sensors) with Enhanced LED Drivers and Analog

The SX8660 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 8-channel solution for capacitive touch-button applications. Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8660 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO). Each of the 8 on-chip GPIO/LED driver is equipped with independent PWM source for enhanced visual effect such as dimming, blinking and breathing.
