CY8CKIT-040T

The CY8CKIT-040T evaluation kit was designed to demonstrate the key capabilities brought by the PSoC™ 4000T products:

1. Superior touch-sensing performance with fifth-generation CAPSENSE™ technology
   • Best-in-class sensitivity, SNR, and immunity to harsh environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture.
2. Ultra-low-power capability based on “Always-On” sensing
   • Ability to obtain power numbers as low as 3.6 μA in the Wake-On-Touch mode and 74 μA in Active mode (see CE235111 for the scan conditions for achieving this), making it ideal for battery-operated wearable devices.
3. Superior liquid tolerance
   • The kit can be dipped into liquids such as soap water, seawater, and mineral water up to the immersible line or sprayed with liquid droplets without reporting any false touches (demonstrated in the CE234752 code example).
   • A touchpad with a proximity sensor emulates a wearable screen with a bezel around it. Liquid tolerance on the touchpad is showcased in the CE234752, even with this loop grounded.

See the AN85951 - PSoC™ 4 and PSoC™ 6 MCU CAPSENSE™ design guide for details of the features of the fifth generation CAPSENSE™ - MSC-LP.
