PSoC®-based Capacitive Touch Sensing
Maximize the design flexibility and integration of Cypress’s PSoC solution to create a stylish, durable interface. CapSense replaces buttons, switches, sliders and other mechanical inputs in your product. CapSense enables:
- Fast changes to your design at any stage from concept through production. CapSense is not a fixed function ASIC or module; you are in control of your design at all times.
- Single-chip implementation supporting multiple interfaces - buttons, sliders, touch screens, touchpads and proximity detectors - on a variety of conductive substrates.
- Unique integration of additional functions—LED control, battery monitoring, motor control, ambient light sensing, etc.—all with the same CapSense chip.
- Quick time-to-market with powerful, visual embedded design tools allowing customized, system level design.

No Code? No Way.
Focus on your embedded design and leave the coding to PSoC Express.
PSoC Express is Cypress's visual embedded design tool for the PSoC® mixed signal arrays – powerful programmable digital and analog blocks with integrated MCU and memory. It lets you design at the application level, with no C or assembly coding. With access to dozens of tested and verified device drivers, you can complete your design in hours or days instead of weeks or months.
PSoC Express 2.2 now supports designs with Cypress’ best-in-class CapSense™ touch-sensitive interfaces including buttons and sliders as well as Cypress’ WirelessUSB LP award-winning 2.4GHz radio protocol featuring best-in-class interference immunity, superior for robust wireless connectivity in today’s noisy home and enterprise environments.
Designing with PSoC Express is as easy as these four steps:
- Select inputs, outputs, interface
- Define output behavior
- Simulate design to verify
- Build design to target device
PSoC Express allows the user to create an entire PSoC project, verify it on their PC with the built-in simulator, and generate a schematic, Bill of Materials, and project data sheet without digging into the messy internal details of a microcontroller." PSoC Express is the first tool to transport embedded system designers from concept to silicon in minutes. PSoC Express is available for download FREE OF CHARGE.
