CapSenseTM is the Name to use. Agenda PSoC Solution (CapSenseTM) How It Works - Relaxation Oscillator Implementation Examples PSoC Advantage Available Demo Boards FAQ Call To Action How It Works: Simple Physics CP is sum of sensor pad capacitance and parasitics. CP is higher when finger is on the sensor pad. Parasitic Capacitance is generated by coupling from the sensor pad to traces, ground plane, and any surrounding conductive material. PSoC Solution: Relaxation Oscillator 30-year-old technology No Patent Restrictions No external components required No IC No Summing Capacitor No Resistors Up to 28 pins for sensing in 21x34 Up to 48 pins for sensing in 24x94 How It Works: Using the Relaxation Oscillator 1. Charge Cp with current source. 2. Dump at comp. threshold. 3. Count cycles (n): When finger present Cp ?Cp+Cf, 4. Measure n, 5. Calculate Dn. If Dn the predefined threshold, 6. Denote presence of finger. How It Works: Detecting Presence Measure CP by charge time. Charge time determines PWM clock frequency. Changes in timer count values represent changes in CP. Compare CP. Denote presence of capacitive object (finger, etc.) if Dn (DCP) is greater than threshold.

For fingers, many elements are active. For pens, few elements are active. Treatment of position data is different based on element number threshold status Implementing Idle P
