... ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING G D ENERAL ESCRIPTION The SX8638 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 8- channel solution for capacitive touch-buttons and slider with proximity detection applications. Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8638 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO) ...

... The larger the charge on the sensors, the larger the number of ticks will be. The charge to ticks conversion is done by the SX8638 Analog Sensor Interface (ASI). The ticks are further processed by the SX8638 and converted in a high level, easy to use information for the user’s host. ...
Page 11
... Parameters The SX8638 has many low level built-in, fixed algorithms and procedures. To allow a lot of freedom for the user and adapt the SX8638 for different applications these algorithms and procedures can be configured with a large set of parameters which will be described in the following sections. Examples of parameters are which sensors are buttons or which sensors are parts of a slider, which GPIO is used for outputs or LEDs and which GPIO is mapped to which button ...
Page 12
... In most applications the reaction time needs to be fast when fingers are present, but can be slow when no person uses the application. In case the SX8638 is not used for a specific time it can go from Active mode into Doze mode and power will be saved. This time-out is determined by the Passive Timer which can be configured by the user or turned OFF if not required ...
Page 13
... For some applications a single button touch might cause undesired wakening up and Active mode would be entered too often. The SX8638 offers therefore a smart wake-up sequence feature in which the user needs to touch and release a correct sequence of buttons before Active mode will be entered. This is explained in more detail in the Wake-Up Sequence section ...
Page 14
... ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.5 Sensors on the PCB The capacitive sensors are relatively simple copper areas on the PCB connected to the eight SX8638 capacitive sensor input pins (CAP0…CAP7).The sensors are covered by isolating overlay material (typically 1mm...3mm). The area of a sensor is typically one square centimeter which corresponds about to the area of a finger touching the overlay material ...
Page 15
... The interpolation can be done already on the PCB sensor structures (analog, like the chevron slider in Figure 10) and as well by SX8638 digital processing of the ticks using center of gravity calculations. The position of the finger on the PCB structures varies between the minimum zero and a user defined maximum (Figure 13) ...
Page 16
... A very slow moving finger will not be considered as a movement as the changing position will be minor. The SX8638 allows detecting a move low (direction max to min) (see Figure 14) and a move high (direction min to max) (see Figure 15). ...
Page 17
... The larger the number the cycles are repeated the larger the signal out of the ADC with improved SNR. The sensitivity is therefore directly related to the number of cycles. The SX8638 allows setting the sensitivity for each sensor individually in applications which have a variety of sensors sizes or different overlays or for fine-tuning performances. The optimal sensitivity is depending heavily on the final application ...
Page 18
... Once the correct compensation values are found these will be stored and used to compensate each CAP pin. If the SX8638 is shut down the compensation values will be lost next power-up the procedure starts all over again. This assures that the SX8638 will operate under any condition. Powering up at e.g. different temperatures will not change the performance of the SX8638 and the host does not have to do anything special ...
Page 19
... The default configuration parameters of the SX8638 are stored in the Quick Start Memory (QSM). This configuration data is setup to a very common application for the SX8638 with buttons and a slider. Without any programming or host interaction the SX8638 will startup in the Quick Start Application. ...
Page 20
... The content of the SPM remains valid as long as the SX8638 is powered and no reset is performed. After a power down or reset the host needs to re-write the SPM if relevant for the application. ...
Page 21
... The writing of the host towards the NVM is not done directly but done in 2 steps (Figure 20). In the first step the host writes to the SPM (as in Figure 19). In the second step the host signals the SX8638 to copy the SPM content into the NVM. ...
Page 22
... As soon as the INTB rises the SX8638 will be ready for I2C communication. 3.14.2 RESETB When RESETB is driven low the SX8638 will reset and start the power up sequence as soon as RESETB is driven high or pulled high. In case the user does not require a hardware reset control pin then the RESETB pin can be connected to VDD. ...
Page 23
... To perform a software reset the host needs to write 0xDE followed by 0x00 at the SoftReset register at address 0xB1. Revision 7_6, September 10 Low Power, Capacitive Button and Slider Touch Controller (8 sensors) with Enhanced LED Drivers and Proximity Software Reset Figure 23 © 2010 Semtech Corp. 23 SX8638 DATASHEET www.semtech.com ...
Page 24
... During power up the INTB is kept low. Once the power up sequence is terminated the INTB is released autonomously. The SX8638 is then ready for operation. During the power on period the SX8638 stabilizes the internal regulators, RC clocks and the firmware initializes all registers. During the power up the SX8638 is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden. ...
Page 25
... Example A typical example of the assertion and clearing of the INTB and the I2C communication is shown in Figure 25. When a button is touched the SX8638 will assert the interrupt (1). The host will read the IrqSrc information over the I2C and this clears the interrupt (2). If the finger releases the button the interrupt will be asserted (3). The host reading the IrqSrc information will clear the interrupt (4) ...

... ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.17 Smart Wake Up The SX8638 offers a smart wake up mechanism ( keys) which allows waking-up from the Doze low power mode to the Active mode in a secure/controlled way and not by any unintentional sensor activation. Until the full correct wake-up sequence is entered, the SX8638 will remain in Doze mode. Any wrong key implies the whole sequence to be entered again ...

... The release is detected immediately (BtnCfg [3:2] = 00) at the first sample which is below the threshold minus the hysteresis. BtnCfg The SX8638 can report all touches of multiple fingers or the SX8638 can be set to report only the first detected touch. In the later case all succeeding touches are ignored.

... BtnAvgThresh. This mechanism avoids that a valid touch will be averaged and finally the tick difference becomes zero. In case three or more sensors reach the BtnAvgThresh value simultaneously then the SX8638 will start an offset compensation procedure. Small environmental and system noise cause the ticks to vary slowly around the zero idle mode value. ...
