The CapTIvate touch panel is a two-dimensional sensor based on mutual capacitance. The detection points are formed by the intersection of rows and columns of a diamond pattern. Its basic structure is similar to matrix buttons. By interlacing the buttons, a gradual change in the signal can be detected on two adjacent buttons when the human hand moves. In Figure 3-5, the intersection of 4 RX and 4 TX forms 16 measurement nodes. A single touch panel often requires more than 8 MCU CAP I/O pins.
