[ClickPress, Tue Mar 25 2008] Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is stocking the PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 Demo Board (Part # DM164125) from Microchip Technology [NASDAQ: MCHP], a leading supplier of microcontroller and analog semiconductors.

The easy-to-use board comes with a PICkit™ Serial Analyzer and mTouch™ Sensing Solution Software Development Kit (SDK). Together, the board and supporting materials provide a complete platform for implementing capacitive touch-sensing interfaces using the highly integrated, cost-effective 8-bit Flash PIC® microcontrollers.

Equipped with capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders, the board enables designers to evaluate capacitive touch sensing in their applications using the PICkit Serial Analyzer and Windows-based mTouch Diagnostic Tool, an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is included in the mTouch Sensing Solution SDK. Libraries, source code, and other support materials included with the board further shorten development time and reduce design costs.
“By immediately stocking the newest technologies like the PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 Demonstration Board from Microchip, our design engineering customer base can develop with the newest products on the market, allowing them to differentiate their products in the marketplace,” said Mike Scott, Mouser’s Vice President of Active Products.
