The CY3280-SRM is centered around the PSoC63 family of MCUs and its capable of accessing AccuSense TM capacitive sensors such as proximity, pressure, temperature and humidity. At the core of this platform is the CapSense SRM (Smart Resistor Matrix) technology, which is a revolutionary capacitive sensing technology that enables designers to quickly implement a wide range of touch-sensitive functionalities. It combines the software accelerations of the PSoC63 family of MCUs and the flexibility of the CapSense Smart Resistive Matrix capacitance sensing capabilities, in order to reduce the capacitive sensing design complexity and develop an optimized design that should save the customesr money.

The principle behind CapSense technology is based on capacitive sensing, which is the measurement of variations of capacitance via electrical sensing. In the CY3280-SRM, this is done through Smart Resistor Matrix (SRM), which utilizes a sensing mechanism that enables the determination of the presence of a touch event. This is accomplished through connecting each capacitive element (sensor) to a constant voltage source at an exact reference point. Through a patented process, the CapSense SRM senses the presence or absence of an object and determines the intensity of the touch signal accordingly.

The CY3280-SRM also incorporates variable threshold capacitive sensing, which is a technology that allows the detection of different objects at different thresholds. This is done by dynamically adjusting the detection threshold in relation to the environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, or air pressure. This makes it possible to identify various materials such as metal, plastic or wood and to differentiate between different objects being touched. In addition, the platform has programmable geometry, which allows developers to create custom shapes and sizes for the touch-sensitive areas. This allows for more creativity when designing the user interface.

Overall, the CY3280-SRM is an ideal Evaluation Board and Sensor for any touch-sensitive application. It is designed to provide high performance, reliable sensing and the ability to quickly develop efficient and optimized designs that should reduce development time and cost. Its CapSense SRM technology enables the detection of touch signals in a variety of materials and shapes, and allows for efficient incorporation of advanced touch sensing features. With the CY3280-SRM, users will be able to take advantage of the latest CapSense technology and quickly start developing optimized designs with minimal time and cost.
