ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
7.3 Example of Touch+Proximity Module
7.3.1
To demonstrate the proximity sensing feature of the SX8661/SX863x family, a module has been designed and is
illustrated in figure below.
The touch button controller is running in stand-alone (i.e. without host) and uses the Autolight mode to turn LEDs
ON/OFF accordingly to the touch buttons and proximity sensing status.
7.3.2
Module operation can be seen as 5 steps which are described in figure below
Notes:
- For better user experience, bicolor LEDs have been used here but one could decide to design a module with
normal unicolor LEDs. In this case, step 3 above would simply consist in a higher (blue) intensity for the LED of
the button touched.
- For obvious demonstration purposes the overlay used here is transparent but in typical applications (TV,
Monitor, Set-top box, etc) the overlay would be opaque enough so that when LEDs are OFF (i.e. no proximity
detected) the PCB is not visible to the user.
