What interface is used for a CTP?

11-11-2025

A Capacitive Touch Panel (CTP) needs a way to communicate with your device’s processor and the interface you choose can affect speed, integration complexity, and wiring.

The most common options:

  • I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) – Most popular, low pin count, great for short-distance on the same board.
  • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) – Faster than I²C, used when higher data speeds are required.
  • USB – Easiest for plug-and-play setups, common for large touchscreens or external devices.

At Summit, we make sure your CTP’s interface matches your system’s performance and layout needs — ensuring smooth, reliable interaction for your users.
