7.12 Configuration Registers
The Configuration Registers allow application specific customization of the controller. The default values have
been optimized for most applications and are automatically used, unless you choose to change them.
Unique sensors and/or product applications may benefit from adjustment of configuration registers.
The factory default settings for the Configuration registers can be recovered by writing a value of 0xFF to address
0x00 of the EEPROM, then cycling power.

Configuration registers are defined as an Offset value from the Start address for the register group.
To read or write to a register, do the following.
1) Issue the <Register Start Address Request> command to obtain the Start address for the register group.
2) Calculated the desired register’s absolute address by adding the register’s Offset value to Start address for
3) Issue the <Register Read> or <Register Write> command, using the calculated register’s absolute address.
7.12.1 TouchThreshold Register (offset 0x02)
The TouchThreshold register sets the threshold for a touch condition to be detected as a touch. A touch is
detected if it is below the TouchThreshold setting. Too small of a value might prevent the controller from
accepting a real touch, while too large of a value might allow the controller to accept very light or false touches
conditions. Valid values are as follows.
0 ≤ TouchThreshold ≤ 255
7.12.2 SensitivityFilter Register (offset 0x03)
The SensitivityFilter register sets the level of touch sensitivity. A higher value is more sensitive to a touch
(accepts a lighter touch), but may exhibit a less stable touch position. A lower value is less sensitive to a touch
(requires a harder touch), but will provide a more stable touch position. Valid values are as follows.
0 ≤ SensitivityFilter ≤ 255
