Introduction The AT42QT1110 (QT1110) is a digital burst mode charge-transfer (QT™) capacitive sensor driver designed for any touch-key applications. The keys can be constructed in different shapes and sizes. Refer to the Touch Sensors Design Guide and Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch Design, for more information on construction and design methods (both downloadable from the Atmel website). Features ● Sensor Keys: ● Up to 11 QTouch® channels ● Data Acquisition: ● Measurement of keys triggered either by a signal applied to the SYNC pin or at regular intervals timed by the AT42QT1110 internal clock ● Keys measured sequentially for better performance, or in parallel groups for faster operation ● Raw data for key touches can be read as a report over the SPI interface ● Discrete Outputs: ● Configurable “Detect” outputs indicating individual key touch (7-key mode) ● Device Setup: ● Device configuration can be stored in EEPROM ● Technology: ● Patented spread-spectrum charge-transfer (direct mode) ● Key Outline Sizes: ● 6 mm × 6 mm or larger (panel thickness dependent); widely different sizes and shapes possible, including solid or ring shapes ● Key Spacings: ● 7 mm center-to-center or more (panel thickness dependent) ● Layers Required: ● One ● Electrode Materials: ● Etched copper, silver, carbon, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) ● Electrode Substrates: ● PCB, FPCB, plastic films, glass ● Panel Materials: ● Plastic, glass, composites, painted surfaces (low particle density metallic paints possible) ● Panel Thickness: ● Up to 10 mm glass, 5 mm plastic (electrode size dependent) ● Key Sensitivity: ● Individually settable via simple commands over serial interface ● Adjacent Key Suppression® (AKS®) ● Patented AKS technology to enable accurate key detection ● Interface: ● Full-duplex SPI slave mode (1.5 MHz), CHANGE pin, discrete detection outputs ● Moisture Tolerance ● Increased moisture tolerance based on hardware design and firmware tuning ● Power: ● 3 V – 5.5 V ● Package: ● 32-pin 5 × 5 mm QFN RoHS compliant ● 32-pin 7 × 7 mm TQFP RoHS compliant ● Signal Processing: ● Self-calibration, auto drift compensation, noise filtering, AKS technology ● Applications: ● Consumer and industrial applications, such as TV, media player
