HS16F3612: MCU for Touch-Controlled Heaters

Author : Adrian September 02, 2025

Product Overview

This solution uses a single touch-enabled MCU to implement display, touch input, timer modes, and other functions for a space heater.

  • Power Supply: 220V AC with adjustable hot and cool air settings.
  • Control: Supports infrared (IR) remote control.
  • Main Controller: HS16F3612 in a SOP20 package.

Solution Advantages

  • Reduces overall cost by minimizing the Bill of Materials (BOM) and surface-mount expenses.
  • Improves reliability and lowers product testing costs.
  • Simplifies maintenance by integrating touch control and display driving into a single MCU.

MCU Specifications: HS16F3612

The main control unit is the HS16F3612 MCU in a SOP20 package.

Key Features

  • 4K x 14-bit Flash program memory
  • 336 x 8-bit EEPROM data memory
  • Up to 10 touch-sensing channels
  • Operating voltage: 2.2V to 5.5V
  • Includes a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
  • Up to 18 general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins

Functional Description

  • A light touch on the power key turns the unit on, defaulting to cool air mode.
  • The "Hot" key cycles through cool air, low heat, and high heat settings.
  • The timer key allows setting a shutdown timer from one to twelve hours.
