Data Brief
PRODUCT FEATURES
CAP1105 / CAP1106
5 and 6 Channel Capacitive Touch
Sensor
General Description
The CAP1106 and CAP1105, which incorporate SMSC’s
RightTouch® 1 technology, are multiple channel Capacitive
Touch sensors. The CAP1106 contains six (6) individual
capacitive touch sensor inputs while the CAP1105 contains
five (5) sensor inputs. Both devices offer programmable
sensitivity for use in touch sensor applications. Each sensor
input automatically recalibrates to compensate for gradual
environmental changes.
The CAP1105 / CAP1106 includes Multiple Pattern Touch
recognition that allows the user to select a specific set of
buttons to be touched simultaneously. If this pattern is
detected, then a status bit is set and an interrupt generated.
Additionally, the CAP1105 / CAP1106 includes circuitry and
support for enhanced sensor proximity detection.
The CAP1105 / CAP1106 offers multiple power states
operating at low quiescent currents. In the Standby state of
operation, one or more capacitive touch sensor inputs are
active.
Deep Sleep is the lowest power state available, drawing
5uA (typical) of current. In this state, no sensor inputs are
active. Communications will wake the device.
Applications
Desktop and Notebook PCs
LCD Monitors
Consumer Electronics
