STM8T143-EVAL evaluation board

Data brief

Features

■ Main board with an STM8T143AM62

microcontroller in an SO8 package

■ 5 electrode boards with different ground

planes:
– Square electrode with no ground plane
– Square electrode with 15% ground plane
– Square electrode with 100% ground plane
– Square electrode with ground ring and

plane

– Ring electrode with no ground plane

■ Proximity or touch or dual output depending on

STM8T143 configuration

■ Configuration through the one-time

programmable option bytes with the
Programming and Data Streaming board
connected to the ST-TSLINK probe driven by
the STVP - ST Visual Programmer software

■ Monitoring of the STM8T143 internal

capacitive sensing parameters in Data
Streaming mode with the Programming and

■ Power supply via USB or from ST-TSLINK

probe

■ 2 LEDs (depending on Option Bytes

configuration)
– LD1 (red) for proximity/touch detection
– LD2 (green) for proximity detection

■ Jumper JP1 (IDD) for consumption

measurement

Description

The STM8T143-EVAL evaluation board is a
complete demonstration and development
platform for the STM8T143 touch and proximity
capacitive sensors. It includes a main board with
an STM8T143AM62, a programming and data
streaming board and 5 electrode boards with
different ground planes.
