4. Functional Description
4.1 Capacitive Sensing Input
4.1.1 Introduction
The capacitive to digital converter uses an iterative, charge-timing self-capacitance technique to measure capacitance on an input pin.
Sampling is configured and controlled by settings in the non-volatile configuration profile, which can be changed through the 2-pin con-
figuration interface.

Active threshold
Touch delta Inactive threshold

Time
Figure 4.1. Capacitive Sense Data Types
4.1.2 Touch Qualification Criteria
The device detects a touch event when an inactive (untouched) input enabled by the input enable mask detects an sequence of meas-
urements that cross the active threshold.
The device detects a touch release event when an active (touched) input enabled by the input enable mask detects an sequence of
measurements that cross the inactive threshold.
The debounce configuration profile parameter defines how many measurements in a row must cross a threshold before a touch or re-
lease is qualified. In electrically noisy environments more heavily filtered data is used for qualification.
4.1.3 Thresholds
Capacitive sensing inputs use input-specific thresholds for touch qualification. Each input uses two thresholds, one to detect inactive-to-
active transitions on the input, and another to determine active-to-inactive transitions on the input. The inputs use two thresholds to add
hysteresis and prevent active/inactive ringing on inputs. Each threshold can be set through Simplicity Studio tools and all thresholds are
stored in non-volatile memory in the device's configuration profile.
Thresholds are defined as percentages of a capacitive sensing input's touch delta.
CPT007B Data Sheet
Functional Description
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 13
4.1.4 Debounce Counter
Each capacitive sensing input maintains its own debounce counter. For an inactive sensor, this counter tracks the number of succes-
sive samples which have crossed that input's active threshold. For an active sensor, this counter tracks the number of successive sam-
ples which have crossed the inactive threshold. When the counter reaches a terminal value defined in the the configuration profile, the
touch/release event is qualified.
4.1.5 Touch Deltas
Each capacitive sensing input uses a stored touch delta value that describes the expected difference between inactive and active ca-
pacitive sensing output codes. This value is stored in the configuration profile for the system and is used by the touch qualification en-
gine, which defines inactive and active thresholds relative to the touch delta.
The touch deltas are stored in the configuration profile in a touch delta/16 format. For this reason, touch deltas must be configured as
multiples of 16.
4.1.6 Auto-Accumulation and Averaging
Capacitive sensing inputs have an auto-accumulate and average post-sample filter that can be used to improve signal strength if nee-
ded. Settings stored in the configuration profile can configure the engine to accumulate 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 samples. After the defined
number of samples have been accumulated, the result is divided by either 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64, depending on the accumulation setting.
This auto-accumulated and averaged value is the sample output used for all touch qualification processing. Note that sample time per
sensor increases as the level of accumulation increases. To reduce current consumption, the engine should not be set to auto-accumu-
late unless it is required to achieve acceptable signal strength due to thick overlays or other system-level factors.
4.1.7 Drive strength
The drive strength of the current source used to charge the electrode being measured by the capacitive sensing input can be adjusted
in integer increments from 1x to 8x (8x is the default). High drive strength gives the best sensitivity and resolution for small capacitors,
such as those typically implemented as touch-sensitive PCB features. To measure larger capacitance values, the drive strength should
be lowered accordingly. The highest drive strength setting that yields capacitive sensing output which does not saturate the sensing
engine when the electrode is active (touched) should always be used to maximize input sensitivity.
4.1.8 Active Mode Scan Enable
Active mode scanning of capacitive sensing inputs is controlled by an enable setting for each capacitive sensing input. This setting is
stored in the configuration profile.
4.1.9 Active Mode Scan Period
The capacitive sensing input engine stays in active mode whenever one or more inputs have qualified as active. During this time, the
sensors scan at a periodicity defined by the active mode scan period, which is stored in the configuration profile. Every active mode
scan pushes new samples through the processing engine, which checks for new touch and release events on all enabled inputs.
If free run mode is enabled, the engine will repeatedly scan all enabled inputs during the active mode scan period. In this mode of
operation, the active mode scan period is used as a timer to determine how much time has passed since the last qualified active sensor
has been seen. When a defined amount of time without a qualified touch event has occurred, the engine switches to a low power mode
using the sleep mode scan period, and conserves current.
If free run mode is disabled, the engine will enter a low power state after completing one scan of all enabled inputs and processing the
resulting samples. The engine will remain in this low power state until it wakes, at a time defined by active mode scan period, to perform
another scan.
CPT007B Data Sheet
Functional Description
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 14
4.1.10 Active Mode Scan Type
The active mode scan type, which is stored in the configuration profile, controls whether the capacitive sensing engine in active mode
will scan only once during the active mode scan period before going to sleep, or whether the engine will continue scanning as quickly
as possible during the active mode scan period, never entering a low power state.
For optimal responsiveness, the engine should be configured to run with free run mode enabled. Setting the scan mode to 'free run'
causes touch qualification on a new touch to occur as quickly as the scanning engine can convert and process samples on all sensors.
In this mode, qualification time is not bounded by active mode scan period, and is only bounded by scanning configuration factors such
as the debounce setting, the number of enabled sensors, the accumulation setting on each sensor, and the timing constraints of any
enabled component.
For optimal current draw when in active mode, the engine should be configured to use the 'one scan per period' mode setting. In this
case, touch qualification is bound by the scan period and the debounce setting of the device.

4.1.11 Sleep Mode Scan Period
The sleep mode scan period defines the rate at which a scan of the inputs enabled as wake-up sources are sampled. Each enabled
sensor can also be enabled as a wake-up source. After the sleep mode scan completes, the scan is processed for a qualified candidate
touch. If a candidate touch is qualified, the system wakes form sleep mode and enters active mode scanning.
The sleep mode scan period is stored in the configuration profile and is defined in units of ms.
CPT007B Data Sheet
Functional Description
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 15
4.1.12 Active Mode and Sleep Mode Transitions
Capacitive sensing inputs will stay in active mode until no inputs detect qualified touches for a span of time defined by the counts until
sleep parameter stored in the configuration profile. The scan period of enabled inputs is defined by the active mode scan period, also
found in the configuration profile. If free run mode is enabled, the active mode sensing engine will remain awake and scanning the sen-
sors as fast as possible. If free run mode is disabled, the engine will put itself into a low power state for the remainder of the active
mode scan period, after a scan has completed.
When in sleep mode, the sensing engine will wake at a period defined by sleep mode scan period to do a scan on sensors that have
been enabled as wakeup sources. If the engine finds a candidate touch in this state, the system reverts to active mode to continue
scanning.
Note that in systems where a proximity input is selected, the sleep mode scan engine uses conversions on the proximity input instead
of sensors enabled as wakeup sources.
Devices configured to wake on a touch will attempt to qualify the candidate touch that initiated the sleep-to-active transition. If qualifica-
tion completes successfully, the device will signal this qualification to the external system. Touch qualification of this candidate touch
uses the same active mode thresholds, debounce setting, and active mode scan period settings as any touch that occurs during active
mode scanning.

4.2 Pin Output
4.2.1 Introduction
Results of the capacitive sensing touch qualification engine are communicated through a set of digital output pins. The state of each pin
is bound to the touch qualification status of one capacitive sensing input pin. If a capacitive sensing input has qualified an active event,
the corresponding output pin will be set to its active state. If the input has qualified a release event is inactive, the corresponding output
pin will be set to its inactive state. Pin polarity and drive strength are configurable parameters.
CPT007B Data Sheet
Functional Description
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 16
4.2.2 Configuration
The configuration profile allows users to globally configure outputs as active high or active low. The configuration profile also allows
users to globally configure pins as open drain outputs or push-pull outputs.
4.3 Capacitive Proximity Sensing
4.3.1 Wake on Proximity
The wake on capacitive proximity detection engine monitors for the presence of a conductive object such as a hand to move within
detectable range of the sensor. When the engine detects an object, the device wakes from sleep and can begin qualifying touch events
on all sensors enabled for active mode sensing.
4.3.2 Proximity Sensing Output
Proximity sensing state is output using a designated Out pin on the CPT007B. By choosing this pin, the user is effectively disabling the
corresponding CS input pin. If the user is configuring proximity sensing to mode 2 operation, where a single capacitive sensing input pin
is used for proximity detection, it is recommended that this input pin be the pin that corresponds to the selected proximity Out pin.
4.3.3 Proximity Configuration
The proximity sensing feature uses a single sensor input for proximity qualification. The configuration profile stores the pin chosen by
the user. The sensor used for proximity qualification should also have a drive strength setting that is as high as possible without saturat-
ing the input when no conductive object is in proximity to the proximity sensor. The accumulation setting of the input is also configura-
ble.
The proximity threshold controls the sensitivity of the input. A lower threshold setting increases sensitivity and increases the range of
the sensor.
A proximity sensing input cannot be used for touch qualification, and so the active and inactive thresholds are not used for proximity
sensors. Additionally, the proximity input has no effect on other components of the device such as mutually exclusive button groups,
buzzer output, touch time out timers, and sliders.
4.4 Touch Time-Out
The touch time-out feature can be enabled and disabled through the configuration profile. When enabled, the device will monitor touch
event duration on each input independently.
When a touch event exceeds a duration specified in the configuration profile, the device forces a release event, even if the user is still
actively touching the sensor.
The feature qualifies a touch release by adding the configured touch delta value for that sensor to the sensor's current baseline value.
By doing this, the raw data-to-baseline delta created by the touch will be removed, and the touch qualification engine will see this as a
touch release event.
When the user removes a finger from a sensor that had been qualified active but has been qualified released through touch timeout, the
resulting raw-to-baseline negative delta will be aggressively tracked downward by the baseline, resulting in a sensor that remains sensi-
tive to successive touches.
The touch timeout duration is configured globally, so all inputs are monitored for the same touch duration.
If both the touch timeout feature and the mutually exclusive button group feature are enabled, the timeout timer will only run on the
touch that is externally reported as being active.
4.5 Buzzer Output
4.5.1 Introduction
The buzzer output engine produces a square wave of a configurable duration and frequency when a capacitive sensing input goes from
inactive to active. The feature can be enabled and disabled through the configuration profile. The configuration profile also includes the
settings for active duration and frequency.

4.5.2 Buzzer Configuration
If enabled, buzzer output will be routed to the Buzzer pin (pin 7) of the CPT007B. When activated, the buzzer will remain active for
either the duration specified in the configuration profile, or until the last active sensor has qualified a touch release.
The configuration profile supports configuration of output frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 4 kHz.
The configuration profile can configure the buzzer output pin to either push pull mode or open drain mode.
4.6 Mutually Exclusive Buttons
When enabled through the configuration profile, this system allows one and only one capacitive sensing input to be qualified as active
at a time. The first sensor active will remain the only sensor active until released. The device will internally qualify multiple touch and
release events but will not report them.
CPT007B Data Sheet
Functional Description
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 18
If multiple sensors have been internally qualified as active, the first sensor's touch event will be reported. If a touch event occurs simul-
taneously on more than one sensor, the touch with the highest touch delta will be reported.
If two sensors are qualified as active and the sensor being reported as active qualifies a touch release, the device will report that re-
lease and then report a touch qualification on the still-active second sensor.
In the case where a device has simultaneously qualified more than two active sensors and the reported active sensor qualifies and
reports a release, the remaining qualified sensor with the highest sensor name will then be reported. For example, if sensors CS00,
CS01, and CS02 are active with CS00 externally reported as active, after CS00's release, CS02 would be externally reported as an
active sensor unless the device has already qualified a touch release on CS02.
If both the touch timeout feature and the mutually exclusive button group feature are enabled, the timeout timer will only run on the
touch that is externally reported as being active.

4.7 Self Testing
4.7.1 Introduction
When the self-test feature is enabled through the configuration profile, the device performs a check on all enabled capacitive sensing
inputs upon startup to determine whether the sensing input pins are erroneously shorted to ground or supply. If a short or open is found
on a sensor, the self test feature will signal that an error has been found through a port pin. The feature will then disable that sensor
before beginning touch qualification scans on all sensors left enabled.
4.7.2 Test Failure Signaling
If the self test check reveals an error, the device will toggle the buzzer output pin at a frequency of 2 Hz. This toggling will persist for two
seconds if the device detects one or more self test errors.
