SX8634
Low Power, Capacitive Button and Slider Touch Controller (12 sensors) with Enhanced LED Drivers and Proximity Sensing
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX8634 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 12-channel solution for capacitive touch-buttons and slider applications and proximity detection. Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8634 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO). Each GPIO is typically configured as LED driver with independent PWM source for enhanced lighting control such as intensity and fading. The SX8634 includes a capacitive 10 bit ADC analog interface with automatic compensation up to 100pF. The high resolution capacitive sensing supports a wide variety of touch pad sizes and shapes and allows capacitive buttons to be created using thick overlay materials (up to 5mm) for an extremely robust and ESD immune system design. The SX8634 incorporates a versatile firmware that was specially designed to simplify capacitive touch solution design and offers reduced time-to-market. Integrated multi-time programmable memory provides the ultimate flexibility to modify key firmware parameters (gain, threshold, scan period, auto offset compensation... ) in the field without the need for new firmware development. The SX8634 supports the 400 kHz IC serial bus data protocol and includes a field programmable slave address. The tiny 5mm x 5mm footprint makes it an ideal solution for portable, battery powered applications where power and density are at a premium.

Figure 6 Quickstart Application Touching the sensor on the CAP0 pin will enable automatically the LED connected to GPIO0. When the CAP0 sensor is released the LED on GPIO0 will slowly fade-out using smooth logarithmic fading. All other sensors (CAP1 to CAP5) have their own LED associated on a GPIO pin showing a touch or a release. The sensors on CAP6 to CAP11 are used in a slider configuration. A moving finger on the slider will enable the LED on GPIO6 or GPIO7 indicating the finger movement. The sensor detection and the LED fading described above are operational without any host interaction. This is made possible using the SX8634 Autolight feature described in the following sections.

3.2.1
Introduction
General
The SX8634 is intended to be used in applications which require capacitive sensors covered by isolating overlay material and which need to detect the proximity of a finger/hand though the air. A finger approaching the capacitive sensors will change the charge that can be loaded on the sensors. The SX8634 measures the change of charge and converts that into digital values (ticks). The larger the charge on the sensors, the larger the number of ticks will be. The charge to ticks conversion is done by the SX8634 Analog Sensor Interface (ASI). The ticks are further processed by the SX8634 and converted in a high level, easy to use information for the user's host. Revision 7_6, October 10 (c) 2010 Semtech Corp. 10 www.semtech.com

Low Power, Capacitive Button and Slider Touch Controller (12 sensors) with Enhanced LED Drivers and Proximity Sensing
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
DATASHEET
The information between SX8634 and the user's host is passed through the I2C interface with an additional interrupt signal indicating that the SX8634 has new information. For buttons this information is simply touched or released. 3.2.2 GPIOs
A second path of feedback to the user is using General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins. The SX8634 offers eight individual configurable GPIO pins. The GPIO can e.g. be set as a LED driver which slowly fade-in when a finger touches a button and slowly fade-out when the button is released. Fading intensity variations can be logarithmic or linear. Interval speed and initial and final light intensity can be selected by the user. The fading is done using a 256 steps PWM. The SX8634 has eight individual PWM generators, one for each GPIO pin. The LED fading can be initiated automatically by the SX8634 by setting the SX8634 Autolight feature. A simple touch on a sensor and the corresponding LED will fade-in without any host interaction over the I2C. In case the Autolight feature is disabled then the host will decide to start a LED fading-in period, simply by setting the GP0 pin to `high' using one I2C command. The SX8634 will then slowly fade-in the LED using the PWM autonomously. In case the host needs to have full control of the LED intensity then the host can set the GPIO in GPP mode. The host is then able to set the PWM pulse width freely at the expense of an increased I2C occupation. The GPIOs can be set further in the digital standard Input mode (GPI). 3.2.3 Parameters
The SX8634 has many low level built-in, fixed algorithms and procedures. To allow a lot of freedom for the user and adapt the SX8634 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. Sensitivity and detection thresholds of the sensors are part of these parameters. Assuming that overlay material and sensors areas are identical then the sensitivities and thresholds will be the same for each sensor. In case sensors are not of the same size then sensitivities or thresholds might be chosen individually per sensor. So a smaller size sensor can have a larger sensitivity while a big size sensor may have the lower sensitivity. 3.2.4 Configuration
During a development phase the parameters can be determined and fine tuned by the users and downloaded over the I2C in a dynamic way. The parameter set can be downloaded over the I2C by the host each time the SX8634 boots up. This allows a flexible way of setting the parameters at the expense of I2C occupation. In case the parameters are frozen they can be programmed in Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile Memory (NVM) on the SX8634. The programming needs to be done once (over the I2C). The SX8634 will then boot up from the NVM and additional parameters from the host are not required anymore. In case the host desires to overwrite the boot-up NVM parameters (partly or even complete) this can be done by additional I2C communications.

3.3 Scan Period
DATASHEET
The basic operation Scan period of the SX8634 sensing interface can be split into three periods over time. In the first period (Sensing) the SX8634 is sensing all enabled CAP inputs, from CAP0 towards CAP11. In the second period (Processing) the SX8634 processes the sensor data, verifies and updates the GPIO and I2C status registers. In the third period (Timer) the SX8634 is set in a low power mode and waits until a new cycle starts. Figure 7 shows the different SX8634 periods over time.
Figure 7 Scan Period The scan period determines the minimum reaction time of the SX8634. The scan period can be configured by the host from 15ms to values larger than a second. The reaction time is defined as the interval between a touch on the sensor and the moment that the SX8634 generates the interrupt on the INTB pin. The shorter the scan period the faster the reaction time will be. Very low power consumption can be obtained by setting very long scan periods with the expense of having longer reaction times. Important: All external events like GPIO, I2C and INTB are updated in the processing period, so once every scan period. If e.g. a GPI would change state directly after the processing period then this will be reported with a delay of one scan period later in time.
3.4
Operation modes
The SX8634 has 3 operation modes. The main difference is found in the reaction time (corresponding to the scan period) and power consumption. Active mode offers fast scan periods. The typical reaction time is 30ms. All enabled sensors are scanned and information data is processed within this interval. Doze mode increases the scan period time which increases the reaction time to 195ms typical and at the same time reduces the operating current. Sleep mode turns the SX8634 OFF, except for the I2C and GPI peripheral, minimizing operating current while maintaining the power supplies. In Sleep mode the SX8634 does not do any sensor scanning. The user can specify other scan periods for the Active and Doze mode and decide for other compromises between reaction time and power consumption. 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 SX8634 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. Revision 7_6, October 10 (c) 2010 Semtech Corp. 12 www.semtech.com

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
DATASHEET
To leave Doze mode and enter Active mode this can be done by a simple touch on any button. For some applications a single button touch might cause undesired wakening up and Active mode would be entered too often. The SX8634 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. The host can decide to force the operating mode by issuing commands over the I2C (using register CompOpMode) and take fully control of the SX8634. The diagram in Figure 8 shows the available operation modes and the possible transitions.

3.5 Sensors on the PCB
DATASHEET
The capacitive sensors are relatively simple copper areas on the PCB connected to the twelve SX8634 capacitive sensor input pins (CAP0...CAP11).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. The capacitive sensors can be setup as ON/OFF buttons for either touch or proximity sensing (see example Figure 9) or arranged in a slider configuration (see example Figure 10) for e.g. menu scrolling or volume control applications.

DATASHEET
Button and Slider Information
Button Information
The touch buttons have two simple states (see Figure 11): ON (touched by finger) and OFF (released and no finger press).
Figure 11 Buttons A finger is detected as soon as the number of ticks from the ASI reaches a user-defined threshold plus a hysteresis. A release is detected if the ticks from the ASI go below the threshold minus a hysteresis. The hysteresis around the threshold avoids rapid touch and release signaling during transients. Buttons can also be used to do proximity sensing. The principle of proximity sensing operation is exactly the same as for touch buttons except that proximity sensing is done several centimeters above the overlay through the air. ON state means that finger/hand is detected by the sensor and OFF state means the finger/hand is far from the sensor. 3.6.2 Slider Information In case sensors are arranged in a slider configuration the ON, OFF information remains available as if it would be a single sensor button.
Figure 12 Slider ON, OFF Wherever the slider is touched the information will be set to ON. If no finger is present the slider information will be OFF. Due to the 2 dimensional character of the slider more information can be derived by processing the ticks. During a touch a finger will influence most of the time the charge on one or two sensors but never all of the sensors at the same time. Some sensor ticks will be larger than others based on the finger position. The processing algorithms can therefore determine where the finger is positioned on the slider. Interpolation between sensors increases the resolution beyond the number of sensors in the slider. The interpolation can be done already on the PCB sensor structures (analog, like the chevron slider in Figure 10) and as well by SX8634 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).

....x... max position
Figure 13 Slider Position The position belonging to the minimum and associated to a sensor is defined arbitrarily. The SX8634 defines the minimum position to the sensor with the lowest CAP pin index. E.g. if CAP0 is a button (or disabled) and CAP1 to CAP7 are the sensors of the slider then the position `zero' starts at CAP1 and the maximum is found at CAP7. In addition to the slider position, the SX8634 allows to detect finger movements. The movement occurs if the finger position changes a certain step size between two succeeding scan periods. A very slow moving finger will not be considered as a movement as the changing position will be minor.

3.7 Analog Sensing Interface
DATASHEET
The Analog Sensing Interface (ASI) converts the charge on the sensors into ticks which will be further digitally processed. The basic principle of the ASI will be explained in this section. The ASI consists of a multiplexer selecting the sensor, analog switches, a reference voltage, an ADC sigma delta converter, an offset compensation DAC and an external integration capacitor (see Figure 16).

Figure 16 Analog Sensor Interface To get the ticks representing the charge on a specific sensor the ASI will execute several steps. The charge on a sensor cap (e.g. CAP0) will be accumulated multiple times on the external integration capacitor, Cint. This results in an increasing voltage on Cint proportional to the capacitance on CAP0. At this stage the offset compensation DAC is enabled. The compensation DAC generates a voltage proportional to an estimation of the external capacitance. The estimation is obtained by the offset compensation procedure executed e.g. at power-up. The difference between the DAC output and the charge on Cint is the desired signal. In the ideal case the difference of charge will be converted to zero ticks if no finger is present and the number of ticks becomes high in case a finger is present. The difference of charge on Cint and the DAC output will be transferred to the ADC (Sigma Delta Integrator). After the charge transfer to the ADC the steps above will be repeated. 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 SX8643 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. If the sensitivity is too low the ticks will not pass the thresholds and touch/proximity detection will not be possible. In case the sensitivity is set too large, some power will be wasted and false touch/proximity information may be output (ie for touch buttons => finger not touching yet, for proximity sensors => finger/hand not close enough). Once the ASI has finished the first sensor, the ticks are stored and the ASI will start measuring the next sensor until all (enabled) sensors pins have been treated. In case some sensors are disabled then these result in lower power consumption simply because the ASI is active for a shorter period and the following processing period will be shorter.

Offset Compensation
The capacitance at the CAP pins is determined by an intrinsic capacitance of the integrated circuit, the PCB traces, ground coupling and the sensor planes. This capacitance is relatively large and might become easily some tens of pF. This parasitic capacitance will vary only slowly over time due to environmental changes. A finger touch is in the order of one pF. If the finger approaches the sensor this occurs typically fast. The ASI has the difficult task to detect and distinguish a small, fast changing capacitance, from a large, slow varying capacitance. This would require a very precise, high resolution ADC and complicated, power consuming, digital processing. The SX8634 features a 16 bit DAC which compensates for the large, slow varying capacitance already in front of the ADC. In other words the ADC converts only the desired small signal. In the ideal world the ADC will put out zero ticks even if the external capacitance is as high as 100pF. At each power-up of the SX8634 the Digital Compensation Values (DCV) are estimated by the digital processing algorithms. The algorithm will adjust the compensation values such that zero ticks will be generated by the ADC. Once the correct compensation values are found these will be stored and used to compensate each CAP pin. If the SX8634 is shut down the compensation values will be lost. At a next power-up the procedure starts all over again. This assures that the SX8634 will operate under any condition. Powering up at e.g. different temperatures will not change the performance of the SX8634 and the host does not have to do anything special. The DCVs do not need to be updated if the external conditions remain stable. However if e.g. temperature changes this will influence the external capacitance. The ADC ticks will drift then slowly around zero values basically because of the mismatch of the compensation circuitry and the external capacitance. In case the average value of the ticks become higher than the positive noise threshold (configurable by user) or lower than the negative threshold (configurable by user) then the SX8634 will initiate a compensation procedure and find a new set of DCVs. Compensation procedures can as well be initiated by the SX8634 on periodic intervals. Even if the ticks remain within the positive and negative noise thresholds the compensation procedure will then estimate new sets of DCVs. Finally the host can initiate a compensation procedure by using the I2C interface (in Active or Doze mode). This is e.g. required after the host changed the sensitivity of sensors.

3.9 Processing
DATASHEET
The first processing step of the raw ticks, coming out of the ASI, is low pass filtering to obtain an estimation of the average capacitance: tick-ave (see Figure 17). This slowly varying average is important in the detection of slowly changing environmental changes.

3.10 Configuration
Figure 18 shows the building blocks used for configuring the SX8634.
Figure 18 Configuration The default configuration parameters of the SX8634 are stored in the Quick Start Memory (QSM). This configuration data is setup to a very common application for the SX8634 with 6 buttons and a slider. Without any programming or host interaction the SX8634 will startup in the Quick Start Application. Revision 7_6, October 10 (c) 2010 Semtech Corp. 19 www.semtech.com

The QSM settings are fixed and can not be changed by the user.
DATASHEET
In case the application needs different settings than the QSM settings then the SX8634 can be setup and/or programmed over the I2C interface. The configuration parameters of the SX8634 can be stored in the Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The NVM contains all those parameters that are defined and stable for the application. Examples are the number of sensors enabled, sensitivity, active and Doze scan period. The details of these parameters are described in the next chapters. At power up the SX8634 checks if the NVM contains valid data. In that case the configuration parameter source becomes the NVM. If the NVM is empty or non-valid then the configuration source becomes the QSM. In the next step the SX8634 copies the configuration parameter source (QSM or NVM) into the Shadow Parameter Memory (SPM). The SX8634 is operational and uses the configuration parameters of the SPM. During power down or reset event the SPM loses all content. It will automatically be reloaded (from QSM or NVM) following power up or at the end of the reset event. The host will interface with the SX8634 through the I2C bus. The I2C of the SX8634 consists of 16 registers. Some of these I2C registers are used to read the status and information of the button and the slider. Other I2C registers allow the host to take control of the SX8634. The host can e.g. decide to change the operation mode from Active mode to Doze mode or go into Sleep (according to Figure 8). Two additional modes allow the host to have an access to the SPM or indirect access to the NVM. These modes are required during development, can be used in real time or in-field programming. Figure 19 shows the Host SPM mode. In this mode the host can decide to overwrite the SPM. This is useful during the development phases of the application where the configuration parameters are not yet fully defined and as well during the operation of the application if some parameters need to be changed dynamically.
Figure 19 Host SPM mode The content of the SPM remains valid as long as the SX8634 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. Figure 20 shows the Host NVM mode. In this mode the host will be able to write the NVM.

DATASHEET
Figure 20 Host NVM mode 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 SX8634 to copy the SPM content into the NVM. Initially the NVM memory is empty and it is required to determine a valid parameter set for the application. This can be done during the development phase using dedicated evaluation hardware representing the final application. This development phase uses probably initially the host SPM mode which allows faster iterations. Once the parameter set is determined this can be written to the NVM over the I2C using the 2 steps approach by the host or a dedicated programmer for large volumes production (as described in the paragraphs 6.6 and 6.7).
3.11 Power Management
The SX8634 uses on-chip voltage regulators which are controlled by the on-chip microprocessor. The regulators need to be stabilized with an external capacitor between VANA and ground and between VDIG and ground (see Table 5). Both regulators are designed to only drive the SX8634 internal circuitry and must not be loaded externally.
3.12 Clock Circuitry
The SX8634 has its own internal clock generation circuitry that does not require any external components. The clock circuitry is optimized for low power operation and is controlled by the on-chip microprocessor. The typical operating frequency of the oscillating core is 16.7MHz from which all other lower frequencies are derived.
3.13 I2C interface
The I2C interface allows the communication between the host and the SX8634. The I2C slave implemented on the SX8634 is compliant with the standard (100kb/s) and fast mode (400kb/s) The default SX8634 I2C address equals 0b010 1011. A different I2C address can be programmed by the user in the NVM.

During the power up the SX8634 is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden. As soon as the INTB rises the SX8634 will be ready for I2C communication. 3.14.2 RESETB When RESETB is driven low the SX8634 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.

3.15.2 Assertion INTB is updated in Active or Doze mode once every scan period. The INTB will be asserted: at the following events: * if a Button event occurred (touch or release if enabled). I2C registers CapStatMsb and CapStatLsb show the detailed status of the Buttons, * if a Slider event occurred (touch, release, move high, move low or position change). I2C registers CapStatMsb, SldPosMsb and SldPosLsb show the detailed status of the Slider, * if a GPI edge occurred (rising or falling if enabled). I2C register GpiStat shows the detailed status of the GPI pins, * when actually entering Active or Doze mode either through automatic wakeup or via host request (may be delayed by 1 scan period). I2C register CompOpmode shows the current operation mode, * once compensation procedure is completed either through automatic trigger or via host request (may be delayed by 1 scan period), * once SPM write is effective (may be delayed by 1 scan period), * once NVM burn procedure is completed (may be delayed by 1 scan period), * during reset (power up, hardware RESETB, software reset). 3.15.3 Clearing INTB is updated in Active or Doze mode once every scan period. The clearing of the INTB is done as soon as the host performs a read to the IrqSrc I2C register or reset is completed

DATASHEET
A typical example of the assertion and clearing of the INTB and the I2C communication is shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25 Interrupt and I2C When a button is touched the SX8634 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). In case the host does not react to an interrupt this results in a missing touch.
3.16 General Purpose Input and Outputs
3.16.1 Introduction and Definitions The SX8634 offers eight General Purpose Input and Outputs (GPIO) pins which can be configured in any of these modes: - GPI (General Purpose Input) - GPP (General Purpose PWM) - GPO (General Purpose Output) Each of these modes is described in more details in the following sections. The polarity of the GPP and GPO pins is defined as in figure below, driving an LED as example. It has to be set accordingly in SPM parameter GpioPolarity.

3.17 Smart Wake Up
DATASHEET
The SX8634 offers a smart wake up mechanism (up to 6 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 SX8634 will remain in Doze mode. Any wrong key implies the whole sequence to be entered again. Please note that each key touch must be followed by a release to be validated. Hence if a proximity sensor and a touch button part of the wake-up sequence are interleaved on the PCB (ie if you cannot touch the button without triggering proximity detection) the smart wake up feature cannot be used since the proximity sensor is not "released" before the buttons are touched. In this case the smart wakeup sequence must be turned OFF. The smart wake-up mechanism can also be disabled which implies that Doze mode can hence only be exited from GPI or I2C command.

This chapter describes briefly the pins of the SX8634, the way the pins are protected, if the pins are analog, digital, require pull up or pull down resistors and show control signals if these are available.
4.2
ASI pins
CAP0, CAP1, ..., CAP11 The capacitance sensor pins (CAP0, CAP1, ..., CAP11) are connected directly to the ASI circuitry which converts the sensed capacitance into digital values. The capacitance sensor pins which are not used should be left open. The enabled CAP pins need be connected directly to the sensors without significant resistance (typical below some ohms, connection vias are allowed). The capacitance sensor pins are protected to VANA and GROUND. Figure 35 shows the simplified diagram of the CAP0, CAP1, ..., CAP11 pins.

5.1 Introduction
DATASHEET
The SX8634 configuration parameters are taken from the QSM or the NVM and loaded into the SPM as explained in the chapter `functional description'. This chapter describes the details of the configuration parameters of the SX8634. . The SPM is split by functionality into 6 configuration sections: * General section: operating modes, * Capacitive Sensors section: related to lower level capacitive sensing, * Button: related to the conversion from sensor data towards button information, * Slider: related to the conversion from sensor data towards slider information, * Mapping: related to mapping of button and slider information towards wake-up and GPIO pins, * GPIO: related to the setup of the GPIO pins. The total address space of the SPM and the NVM is 128 bytes, from address 0x00 to address 0x7F. Two types of memory addresses, data are accessible to the user. * `application data': Application dependent data that need to be configured by the user. * `reserved': Data that need to be maintained by the user to the QSM default values (i.e. when NVM is burned). The Table 12 and Table 13 resume the complete SPM address space and show the `application data' and `reserved' addresses, the functional split and the default values (loaded from the QSM).

Table 15 Capacitive Sensors Parameters CapModeMisc By default the ASI is using a common sensitivity for all capacitive sensors as in the usual case overlay material and sensors sizes are about equal. The register bits CapSensitivity0_1[7:4] determine the sensitivity for all sensors in common sensitivity mode. It might be required to have a different, individual, sensitivity for each CAP pin (for example proximity sensor set to max sensitivity while touch sensors are set to a lower one). This can be obtained by setting CapModeMisc[2:0] to "100" The individual sensitivity mode results in longer sensing periods than required in common sensitivity mode. CapMode11_8, CapMode7_4, CapMode3_0: The CAP pins can be set as a button, part of a slider or disabled depending on the application.

Buttons and disabled CAP pins can be attributed freely (examples in Figure 46). All buttons can be used for touch or proximity sensing, in the latter case register CapProxEnable needs to be set accordingly.
Figure 46 Button examples Disabled CAP pins inside the slider sensor attribution sequence are allowed, but CAP buttons inside a slider are not allowed (see example Figure 47 with CAP3 in a correct and a not allowed configuration).
Figure 47 Button and Slider good/bad configuration examples (I) The physical order of the slider sensors on the PCB should correspond to the incremental CAP pin numbers. Crossing slider PCB sensors and CAP number is not allowed. Figure 48 shows a valid configuration and a wrong configuration where CAP5 andCAP6 are not routed correctly on the PCB.

Figure 48 Button and Slider good/bad configuration examples (II) The minimum position of the slider is associated to the CAP pin, attributed to the slider, with the lowest index (in Figure 48 this is CAP2). The maximum position of the slider is associated to the CAP pin, attributed to the slider, with the highest index (in Figure 48 this is CAP6). CapSensitivity0_1, CapSensitivity2_3, CapSensitivity4_5, CapSensitivity6_7, CapSensitivity8_9, CapSensitivity10_11, CapProxEnable: The sensitivity of the sensors can be set between 8 values. The higher the sensitivity is set the larger the value of the ticks will be. The minimum sensitivity can be used for thin overlay materials and large sensors, while the maximum sensitivity is required for thicker overlay and smaller sensors or proximity sensing. The required sensitivity needs to be determined during a product development phase. Too low sensitivity settings result in missing touches. Too high sensitivity settings will result in fault detection of fingers hovering above the touch sensors. The sensitivity is identical for all sensors in common sensitivity mode using the bits CapSensitivity0_1[7:4] and can be set individually using register CapModeMisc[2:0]. The maximum number of ticks that can be obtained depends on the selected sensitivity and if proximity sensing is enabled. This is illustrated in Table 17.

Table 18 Button Configuration Parameters Please note that proximity sensors are configured as buttons and operate exactly the same way as touch buttons. All the parameters and procedures described below apply similarly. A reliable button operation requires a coherent setting of the registers. Figure 49 shows an example of a touch and a release. The ticks will vary slightly around the zero idle state. When the touch occurs the ticks will rise sharply. At the release of the button the ticks will go down rapidly and converge to the idle zero value.
ticks_diff
Figure 49 Touch and Release Example As soon as the ticks become larger than the CAP thresholds (see registers of the previous section) plus the hysteresis (defined in register BtnHysteresis) the debounce counter starts. In the example of Figure 49 the touch is validated after 2 samples (BtnCfg [1:0] = 01). The release is detected immediately (BtnCfg [3:2] = 00) at the first sample which is below the threshold minus the hysteresis. BtnCfg The SX8634 can report all touches of multiple fingers or the SX8634 can be set to report only the first detected touch. In the later case all succeeding touches are ignored. The very first touch should be released before a next touch will be detected. The user can select to have the interrupt signal on touching a button, releasing a button or both In noisy environments it may be required to debounce the touch and release detection decision. In case the debounce is enabled the SX8634 will count up to the number of debounce samples BtnCfg [1:0], BtnCfg [3:2] before taking a touch or release decision. The sample period is identical to the scan period. BtnAvgThresh Small environmental and system noise cause the ticks to vary slowly around the zero idle mode value.

In case the ticks get slightly positive this is considered as normal operation. Very large positive tick values indicate a valid touch. The averaging filter is disabled as soon as the average reaches the value defined by 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 SX8634 will start an offset compensation procedure. Small environmental and system noise cause the ticks to vary slowly around the zero idle mode value. In case the ticks get slightly negative this is considered as normal operation. However large negative values will trigger an offset compensation phase and a new set of DCVs will be obtained. The decision to trigger a compensation phase based on negative ticks is determined by the value in the register BtnCompNegThresh and by the number of ticks below the negative thresholds defined in register BtnCompNegCntMax. An example is shown in Figure 50.
Figure 50 Negative Ticks Offset Compensation Trigger BtnCompNegThresh Small negative ticks are considered as normal operation and will occur very often. Larger negative ticks however need to be avoided and a convenient method is to trigger an offset compensation phase. The new set of DCV will assure the idle ticks will be close to zero again. A trade-off has to be found for the value of this register. A negative threshold too close to zero will trigger a compensation phase very often. A very negative threshold will never trigger. BtnCompNegCntMax As soon as the ticks get smaller than the Negative Threshold the Negative Counter starts to count. If the counter goes beyond the Negative Counter Max then the offset compensation phase is triggered. The recommended value for this register is `1' which means that the offset compensation starts on the first tick below the negative threshold. BtnHysteresis The hysteresis percentage is identical for all buttons. A touch is detected if the ticks are getting larger as the value defined by: CapThreshold + CapThreshold * hysteresis. A release is detected if the ticks are getting smaller as the value defined by: CapThreshold - CapThreshold * hysteresis.

The stuckat timer can avoid sticky buttons. If the stuckat timer is set to one second then the touch of a finger will last only for one second and then a compensation will be performed and button hence considered released, even if the finger remains on the button for a longer time. After the actual finger release the button can be touched again and will be reported as usual. In case the stuckat timer is not required it can be set to zero.

Figure 51 Slider Position Figure 51 shows an example of a slider composed of 6 sensors (CAP0, CAP1... CAP5). The default slider norm value 12 (SldNormMsb = 0x01, SldNormLsb = 0x80), is taken for the example. A touch on CAP0 gives the slider position: 0. A touch on CAP1 gives the slider position: 12. A touch on CAP5 gives the slider position: 60. If a touch occurs on CAP0 and CAP1 the centre of gravity algorithm will interpolate. Assuming the touch is identically distributed on CAP0 and CAP1 then the position will be: 6 Assuming the touch is identically distributed on CAP1 and CAP2 then the position will be: 18 Assuming the touch is identically distributed on CAP4 and CAP5 then the position will be: 54 The maximum slider position (for this example) that can be obtained is 60. The minimum position of a slider equals 0. Revision 7_6, October 10 (c) 2010 Semtech Corp. 53 www.semtech.com

SldPosMax =
SldNorm x ( N - 1) 32
with: N is the number of sensors in the slider Slow varying slider ticks due to environmental changes are handled as buttons in the previous section. If the ticks pass below the slider negative threshold for more than the compensation negative max counter then an offset compensation phase will be triggered. If the ticks pass above the slider average positive threshold then the averaging filters will be held. A finger that moves very slowly over the slider is not considered as a movement. The status move low and move high will not be set. A finger that moves faster on the slider will change the movement status. A movement is detected if the difference of the position for two succeeding samples at the scanning rate goes beyond the movement threshold (SldMoveThresh). A large movement threshold requires very rapid finger movements, while a small movement threshold detects more easily movements but gets sensitive to noise variations as well.

Defines the position hysteresis for detecting a segment change. The hysteresis is defined as a percentage of the maximum slider position. 0x00: 0% ... 0x02: 2% (default) ... 0x64: 100% This hysteresis applies to all segments of the slider.
Table 20 Mapping Parameters MapWakeupSize The number of keys defining the wakeup sequence can be set from 1 to 6. If the size is set to 0 then wakeup is done on any sensor event. if the size is set to 6 then wakeup is done only by GPI or an I2C command (may be required if proximity sensing is enable, see 3.17 for more details).

MapAutoLight0, MapAutoLight1, MapAutoLight2, MapAutoLight3 MapAutoLightGrp0Msb, MapAutoLightGrp0Lsb, MapAutoLightGrp1Msb, MapAutoLightGrp1Lsb These registers define the mapping between the GPO pins (with Autolight ON) and the sensor information which will control its ON/OFF state. The mapping can be done to a specific sensor event but also on groups (in this case any sensor event in the group will control the GPO). Table 21 defines for each selectable sensor event, which action will trigger corresponding GPO to switch ON or OFF.
MapAutoLight BtnX Slider Touch Slider Move High Slider Move Low Slider Segment GPO ON Touch Touch Move High Move Low Segment Touched GPO OFF Release Release Move Low or Release Move High or Release Segment Released
Table 21 Autolight Mapping, Sensor Information Examples: - If GPO[0] should change state accordingly to Btn4 then MapAutoLight3[3:0] should be set to 0x04. - If GPO[0] should change state accordingly to Btn0 or Btn1 then Group0 can be used as following: - MapAutoLight3[3:0] should be set to 0x0C (ie Group0). - MapAutoLightGrp0 should be set to 0x0003 (ie Btn0 or Btn1) When the Slider Segment event is mapped, the number of GPOs mapped to it determines the number of slider segments. The GPO with the lowest pin index is mapped on the segment with the smallest positions. E.g. if two GPOs (e.g.GPO[0] and GPO[1]) are mapped to the Slider Segment event then the slider is split in two segments. GPO[0] will turn ON for a touch on the slider segment [0, SldPosMax/2] and GPO[1] for a touch on the slider segment [SldPosMax/2, SldPosMax].

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 6 I2C INTERFACE
DATASHEET
The I2C implemented on the SX8634 is compliant with: - standard (100kb/s), fast mode (400kb/s) - slave mode - 7 bit address (default 0x2B). The default address can be changed in the NVM at address 0x04. The host can use the I2C to read and write data at any time. The effective changes will be applied at the next processing phase (section 3.3). Three types of registers are considered: - status (read). These registers give information about the status of the capacitive buttons, slider, GPIs, operation modes etc... - control (read/write). These registers control the soft reset, operating modes, GPIOs and offset compensation. - SPM gateway (read/write). These registers are used for the communication between host and the SPM. The SPM gateway communication is done typically at power up and is not supposed to be changed when the application is running. The SPM needs to be re-stored each time the SX8634 is powered down. The SPM can be stored permanently in the NVM memory of the SX8634. The SPM gateway communication over the I2C at power up is then not required. The I2C will be able to read and write from a start address and then perform read or writes sequentially, and the address increments automatically. The supported I2C access formats are described in the next sections.
6.1
I2C Write
The format of the I2C write is given in Figure 52. After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (`0') indicating a Write. The SX8634 then Acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the Master sends an 8 bit Data Byte consisting of the SX8634 Register Address (RA). The Slave Acknowledges [A] and the master sends the appropriate 8 bit Data Byte (WD0). Again the Slave Acknowledges [A]. In case the master needs to write more data, a succeeding 8 bit Data Byte will follow (WD1), acknowledged by the slave [A]. This sequence will be repeated until the master terminates the transfer with the Stop condition [P].
Figure 52 I2C write The register address is incremented automatically when successive register data (WD1...WDn) is supplied by the master.

6.2 I2C read
DATASHEET
The format of the I2C read is given in Figure 53. After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (`0') indicating a Write. The SX8634 then Acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the Master responds with an 8 bit Data consisting of the Register Address (RA). The Slave Acknowledges [A] and the master sends the Repeated Start Condition [Sr]. Once again, the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (`1') indicating a Read. The SX8634 responds with an Acknowledge [A] and the read Data byte (RD0). If the master needs to read more data it will acknowledge [A] and the SX8634 will send the next read byte (RD1). This sequence can be repeated until the master terminates with a NACK [N] followed by a stop [P].

6.6.1 SPM Write Sequence
DATASHEET
The SPM write can be done in any mode (Active, Doze, Sleep). Writing the SPM in Sleep is useful to avoid potential transient behaviors. The SPM must always be written in blocks of 8 bytes. The sequence is described below: 1. Set the I2C in SPM mode by writing "01" to SpmCfg[5:4] and SPM write access by writing `0' to SpmCfg[3]. 2. Write the SPM base address to SpmBaseAddr (The base address needs to be a value modulo 8). 3. Write the eight consecutive bytes to I2C address 0, 1, 2, ...7 4. Terminate by writing "000" to SpmCfg[5:3].
Figure 54: SPM Write Sequence The complete SPM can be written by repeating 16 times the cycles shown in Figure 54 using base addresses 0x00, 0x08, 0x10, ..., 0x70, 0x78. Between each sequence the host should wait for INTB (Active/Doze) or 30ms in Sleep. In Active or Doze mode, once the SPM write sequence is actually applied, the INTB pin will be asserted and IrqSrc[5] set. In Sleep mode the SPM write can be actually applied with a delay of 30ms. The host clears the interrupt and IrqSrc[5] by reading the IrqSrc register.

6.6.2 SPM Read Sequence
DATASHEET
The SPM read can be done in any mode (Active, Doze, Sleep). The SPM must always be read in blocks of 8 bytes. The sequence is described below: 1. Set the I2C in SPM mode by writing "01" to SpmCfg[5:4] and SPM read access by writing `1' to SpmCfg[3]. 2. Write the SPM base address to SpmBaseAddr (The base address needs to be a value modulo 8). 3. Read the eight consecutive bytes from I2C address 0, 1, 2, ...7 4. Terminate by writing "000" to SpmCfg[5:3].

6.7 NVM burn
DATASHEET
The content of the SPM can be copied permanently (burned) into the NVM to be used as the new default parameters. The burning of the NVM can be done up to three times and must be done only when the SPM is completely written with the desired data. The NVM burn must be done in Active or Doze mode. Once the NVM burn process is terminated IrqSrc[6] will be set and INTB asserted. After a reset the burned NVM parameters will be copied into the SPM. The number of times the NVM has been burned can be monitored by reading NvmCount from the I2C register SpmStat[2:0].
Figure 56 Simplified Diagram NvmCount Figure 56 shows the simplified diagram of the NVM counter. The SX8634 is delivered with empty NVM and NvmCount set to zero. The SPM points to the QSM. Each NVM burn will increase the NvmCount. At the fourth NVM burn the SX8634 switches definitely to the QSM. The burning of the SPM into the NVM is done by executing a special sequence of four I2C commands. 1. Write the data 0x62 to the I2C register I2CKeyMsb. 2. Write the data 0x9D to the I2C register I2CKeyLsb. 3. Write the data 0xA5 to the I2C register I2CSpmBaseAddr. 4. Write the data 0x5A to the I2C register I2CSpmBaseAddr. This is illustrated in Figure 57.

7.2 Example of Touch+Proximity Module
DATASHEET
7.2.1 Overview To demonstrate the proximity sensing feature of the SX863x family, a module has been designed and is illustrated in figure below.
Figure 59 Touch+Proximity Module Overview The touch button controller is running in stand-alone (ie without host) and uses the Autolight mode to turn LEDs ON/OFF accordingly to the touch buttons and proximity sensing status. 7.2.2 Operation
Module operation can be seen as 5 steps which are described in figure below
1. No finger => No proximity detected => All LEDs OFF
2. Finger approaches => Proximity detected => Blue LEDs turned ON
3. Button touch => Orange LED turned ON (blue+orange = pink)
4. Button release => Orange LED turned OFF
5. Finger removed => No proximity detected => Blue LEDs turned OFF
Figure 60 Touch+Proximity Module Operation 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 (ie no proximity detected) the PCB is not visible to the user.
