Touch Sensors Design Guide
Capacitance (C) is defined in
Equation 1-1. Capacitance
It should therefore be clear that thinner panels and higher dielectric constant materials yield higher
capacitance change during touch and hence a higher gain and a better SNR.

Figure 1-2.
In the context of capacitive sensors, SNR is defined as in
of the touch signal levels.
Equation 1-2. SNR

AVG100 means the simple numeric average of 100 data points, typically taken evenly
spaced over a period of 2 seconds.
RMS100 means the root-mean-square of 100 data points, typically taken evenly
spaced over a period of 2 seconds, using the AVG100 figure as a baseline.
