Overview
The CY8CMBR2110 CapSense Express™ capacitive touch
sensing controller saves time and money, quickly enabling a
capacitive touch sensing user interface in your design. It is a
register-configurable device and does not require any firmware
coding or device programming. In addition, this device is enabled
with Cypress’s SmartSense Auto-Tuning algorithm which elimi-
nates the need to manually tune the user interface during devel-
opment and production ramp. This speeds the time to volume
and saves valuable engineering time, test time, and production
yield loss.
The EZ-Click Customizer tool is a simple graphical interface for
configuring the device features, through the I²C interface. One
configuration can be used to configure multiple samples in
different boards.
The CY8CMBR2110 CapSense controller supports up to ten
capacitive sensing buttons and ten GPOs. The GPO is an active
low output controlled directly by the CapSense input making it
ideal for a wide variety of consumer, industrial, and medical appli-
cations. The wide operating range of 1.71 V to 5.5 V enables
unregulated battery operation, further saving component cost.
The same device can also be used in different applications with
varying power supplies.
This device supports ultra low-power consumption in both run
mode and deep sleep modes to stretch battery life. In addition,
this device also supports many advanced features, which
enhance the robustness and user experience of the end solution.
The key advanced features are Noise Immunity and Flanking
Sensor Suppression (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.
Power-on LED effects provide visual feedback to the design at
system power-on. Button-controlled LED effects provide visual
feedback on a button touch. These effects improve the aesthetic
value of the end product. Buzzer Signal Output provides audio
feedback on a button touch. System diagnostics test for design
faults at power-on and report any failures. This simplifies
production-line testing and reduces manufacturing costs.
CapSense data output through I²C gives critical information
about the design, such as button C_P and signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR). This further helps in system debug and production-line
testing.
