Overview
The CY8CMBR2016 CapSense Express capacitive touch
sensing controller incorporates several innovative features to
save time and money to quickly enable a capacitive touch
sensing user interface in your design. It is a hardware
configurable device and does not require any software tools,
firmware coding or device programming. This device is enabled
with Cypress's revolutionary SmartSense^™ auto-tuning
algorithm. SmartSense^™ auto-tuning ends the need to manually
tune the user interface during development and production
ramp. This speeds the time to volume and saves valuable
engineering time, test time and production yield loss.
The device supports up to 16 capacitive touch buttons that can
be organized in any format, such as a matrix array. With its
backward compatible key scan interface, it can enable users to
achieve quick-to-market (retrofit) designs in large keypad
applications such as fire alarm control panels, security systems,
and door locks. Any application that requires up to 16 CapSense
buttons can utilize CY8CMBR2016.
The wide operating range of 1.71 V to 5.5 V enables unregulated
battery operation, further saving component cost. This device
supports ultra low-power consumption in both run mode and
deep sleep mode to stretch battery life. In addition, this device
also supports many advanced features, which enhance the
robustness and user interface of the end solution. Some of the
key advanced features include Noise Immunity and FSS. Noise
Immunity improves the immunity of the device against radiated
and conducted noise, such as audio and radio frequency (RF)
noise. FSS provides robust sensing even with closely spaced
buttons. FSS is a critical requirement in small form factor
applications.
The CY8CMBR2016 provides three different host interface
communication modes. These include the industry standard host
interface protocols such as Key Scan Interface and Truth Table
Interface. These two protocols reuse existing host processor
firmware leading to easy conversion of existing mechanical
buttons to CapSense. The third host interface communication is
the Encoded GPO Interface with a 4-bit output, which minimizes
the number of pins required for a button output. These three
outputs are configurable which helps provide a wide variety of
device usage in multiple applications.
Serial Debug Data output gives the critical information about the
design, such as button Cp and raw counts. This further helps in
production line testing.
Notes
1. Supply variation should not be more than 5% for proper CapSense operation
2. Power consumption calculated with 250 ms scan time, 2% touch time and C_P of each button < 19 pF.
