MSP430FR2633: 2 end elements tied together

DDdoor

Part Number: MSP430FR2633

Hello,

You say are the 2 end elements tied together?(Sep 28, 2020 2:16 PM)
Should I just connect them with a line? Do you have any recommendations such as width?

Best regards,

1. Can you give more detailed information? Like give a link?

Hello Eason,
Thanks for your reply.

・Designing a Self Capacitive Slider
software-dl.ti.com/.../ch_design_guide.html

discription:Self and mutual sliders require their RX0 electrode on both ends of the slider be electrically connected on the PCB layout.

The customer is investigating the content of this link.

・Connecting the Sensor to the MCU
software-dl.ti.com/.../ch_design_guide.html

And this link has an image of a connection connecting two electrodes,
but are there any precautions on how to connect such as the width of the line? Should the customer just connect it?

Best regards,
DDdoor

Hi DDdoor,

Yes, customer just connect it. The only thing need to take care is to make the line to be as small as possible.

The structure is Half element1 + One element2 + One element3 + Half element1.
