APPLICATIONS -
The QT60320D digital charge-transfer (“QT”) QMatrix™ IC is designed to detect touch on up to 32 keys in a scanned X-Y matrix. It will
project the keys through almost any dielectric, like glass, plastic, stone, ceramic, and even most kinds of wood, up to thicknesses of
5 cm or more. The touch areas are defined as simple 2-part interdigitated electrodes of conductive material, like copper,
Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO), or screened silver or carbon deposited on the rear of the control panel. Key sizes, shapes and placement are
almost entirely arbitrary; sizes and shapes of keys can be mixed within a single panel of keys and can vary by a factor of 20:1 or more
in area. The gain (sensitivity) and threshold of each key can be set individually via simple commands over the UART port, for example
via the freeware QmBtn program. Key setups are stored internally in an onboard eeprom and do not need to be reloaded.
The IC is designed specifically to work with appliances, ATM machines, security panels, portable instruments, machine tools, or
similar products that are subject to environmental 'challenges' or even physical attack. It permits the construction of 100% sealed,
watertight keypanels that are immune to environmental factors such as humidity and condensation, temperature, dirt accumulation, or
the physical deterioration of the panel surface from abrasion, chemicals, or abuse. To this end the QT60320D contains
Quantum-pioneered self-calibration, drift compensation, and digital filtering algorithms that make the sensing function extremely
robust and survivable.
The device can readily control keys over graphical LCD panels or LEDs when used with clear, conductive ITO electrodes. It does not
require 'chip on glass' or other exotic fabrication techniques, thus allowing the OEM to source the keymatrix from multiple vendors.
External circuitry consists of an opamp, a common PLD, and a quad fet switch, which can fit into a footprint of roughly 1 square inch
(6.5 sq. cm). The device also can control two status LEDs, and includes in addition 8 addressable output drive lines and 4 readable
spare input lines which can be used to control LEDs, LCDs, or other panel functions without requiring additional control lines from the
host CPU. It also makes available to the user 86 bytes of onboard writeable and readable eeprom via the serial interface, thus helping
to reduce system cost by eliminating extra components.
QT60320D technology makes use of an important new variant of charge-transfer sensing, transverse charge-transfer, in an XY format
that minimizes the number of required scan lines. Unlike older technologies it does not require one IC per key, and is cost competitive
even with some membrane technologies. In many cases it can also replace resistive XY sense elements commonly used in touch
screens, at a fraction of the price.
The QT60320D is an improved version of the QT60320C, having lower noise and wider temperature range than the original
part. Prior silicon versions will not be available after December 2003.

... OVERVIEW The QT60320D is a digital burst mode charge-transfer (QT) sensor designed specifically for matrix geometry touch controls; it includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of changing conditions. Only a few low cost external parts are required for operation. The entire circuit can be built within about 1 square inch of PCB area (smt) ...

... Y lines, since stray C from Y to ground appears merely as a parallel capacitance to a much larger value of Cs. The QT60320D circuit design maintains high gain levels independent stray coupling C to ground. It also readily compensates for field-related issues like electrode design or the composition of the overlying panel has individual programmable gain and threshold settings for each key ...

... Since key touches result in negative signal swings, the threshold is set below the signal reference level. The QT60320D employs a hysteresis of 25% of the delta between the reference and threshold levels. The signal must rise by 25% of the distance from threshold to reference before the detection event drops out and the key registers as untouched ...

... CIRCUIT SPECIFICS A basic QT60320D circuit is shown in Figure 2-1. 2.1 SIGNAL PATH The QT60320D requires an external sampling capacitor, two Cz capacitors, an amplifier, some analog switches, and an R2R ladder DAC to operate. The Cs capacitor performs the charge integration function by collecting charge coupled though a selected key during the dV/dt of the rising edge of an 'X' scan line ...

... X pins are used to drive the external R2R ladder network which generates an offset to the amplifier chain during this period that the amplifier stabilizes and the signal is sampled internally by the QT60320D. Figure 2-3 also shows a dwell-adjusted version of Yb, Yb', that can be generated with the help of external timing delays. ...

... If the power supply is shared with another electronic system, care should be taken to assure that the supply is free of digital spikes, sags, and surges which can adversely affect the circuit. The QT60320D will track slow changes in Vcc, but it can be adversely affected by rapid voltage steps and impulse noise on the supply rail. ...

To reduce leakage current problems the amplifier should be a JFET or CMOS input type only. 4.6 ESD PROTECTION In general the QT60320D will be protected from direct static discharge by the overlying panel.
