MTCH1060T-E/REB

Overview

The MTCH1060T-E/REB is a six-channel capacitive touch controller from Microchip Technology, designed for robust water-tolerant touch detection and proximity sensing. It implements up to six sensors with Driven Shield+ capability and supports Metal over Capacitive (MoC) technology for operation through plastic, wood, or metal front panels. The device features adjustable sensitivity, measurement period, and oversampling via dedicated configuration pins. It operates within a voltage range of 2V to 5V and supports temperatures from -40°C to +85°C or -40°C to +125°C depending on the specific variant.

Feature Summary

• Implements up to six capacitive sensors with Driven Shield+ capability for enhanced noise suppression.
• Supports Metal over Capacitive (MoC) technology for reliable detection through various front panel materials.
• Features Easy Tune functionality for automatic sensitivity adjustment under changing noise conditions.
• Provides configurable measurement period, oversampling, and sensitivity via dedicated run-time pins.

Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring water-tolerant touch interfaces
• Appliances with metal or plastic front panels using MoC technology
• Industrial controls needing robust noise immunity
• Proximity sensing applications in challenging environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact temperature grade and package type against the full part number suffix. The 'E' indicates an extended temperature range, while '/REB' specifies the reel packaging format. Confirm that the selected variant matches your environmental requirements and manufacturing assembly specifications before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a multi-channel capacitive solution with integrated noise suppression is required. Consider the MTCH1060 for applications needing water tolerance or operation through conductive overlays. Ensure the host system can interface with the open-drain outputs or LED drive capabilities provided by the OUTx pins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MTCH1060 family of six-channel capacitive touch controllers. It shares core architecture with other variants differing primarily in temperature ratings and packaging options. The T-E/REB designation specifically denotes the tape-and-reel packaging suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTCH1060 variants with different temperature grades or packages, such as MTCH1060-I/SSOP. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before replacing. No cross-family replacements are officially confirmed without detailed electrical matching.
