II. Analysis of core functions and advantages
2.1. Ultra-low power consumption and fast response
CXTC8964LQ in fast mode, the work current is only 3.5 μA(VDD = 3.0V), and the response time is about 45ms, which takes into account energy saving and real-time, and is especially suitable for wearable devices sensitive to power consumption.
2.2. Intelligent automatic calibration
The chip has the ability to adapt to the environment. The reference value is refreshed every 1 second within 8 seconds of power-on, and then calibrated every 4 seconds to ensure stable detection performance under different temperature and humidity, surface pollution and other environments.
2.3. Flexible output mode configuration
It can be realized through HLD and OLH pins.Direct outputAndLatch outputThe two modes support high-level or low-level effective output and adapt to different system logic and power architectures.
2.4. Built-in voltage stabilization and anti-interference design
The chip has built-in LDO voltage stabilizing circuit, which provides a stable voltage for Touch Detection. At the same time, it integrates a dejitter circuit, which can effectively suppress external noise interference and prevent false triggering.
2.5. Long press protection and esysreset
When the touch duration exceeds about 16 seconds (± 25%), the chip automatically resets and stops output to avoid system locking caused by long-term coverage of objects and improve the use safety.
3. Output mode details and Configuration Guide
3.1. Direct output mode (HLD = 0)
The output signal is synchronized with the touch action, and the output is valid when touching. After Releasing, the initial state is restored. It is suitable for touch operations that require immediate feedback, such as headphone song cutting and device wake-up.
3.2. Latch output mode (HLD = 1)
The output status remains after the touch and does not switch until the next touch. It is suitable for switch applications, such as power switch and mode switching.
3.3. Output polarity selection (OLH pin)
·OLH = 0: The output high level is valid.
·OLH = 1: The output low level is valid.
You can flexibly configure the logic based on the input logic of subsequent circuits (such as MCU, MOS tube, and indicator lights).
IV. Sensitivity adjustment and PCB design best practices
4.1 Selection of medium thickness
It is recommended that the thickness of the touch panel is between 0.5mm and 1.2mm, which will reduce the sensitivity if it is too thick.
4.2. Selection of external cscapacitor
·Capacity range: 0 ~ 75pF, the larger the capacity, the lower the sensitivity;
·We recommend that you use NPO or X7R materials with good temperature stability;
·We recommend that you use a 0402-package 10pF capacitor for initial debugging, and reserve the capacitor bit on the PCB for adjustment.
4.3. Touch PAD design specifications
·The minimum size is recommended to be 3 × 5mm, and the maximum size cannot exceed 8 × 8mm;
·If FPC soft board is used, the Mirror layer and bottom layer of PAD should not be covered with copper;
·Keep the periphery of the route clear to avoid the influence of parasitic capacitance.
4.4 PCB layout and routing suggestions
·The TCH pin is as short as possible, and the recommended length is less than 35mm;
·In the multi-layer board, touch around the routing for clearance treatment;
·Keep away from interference sources such as high frequency and RF to avoid parallel or cross routing;
·Do not arrange other signal lines within 1mm outside the Touch PAD.
