PRODUCT FEATURES
CAP1188
8 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor
with 8 LED Drivers
General Description
The CAP1188, which incorporates SMSC’s RightTouch
®
1
technology, is a multiple channel Capacitive Touch sensor
with multiple power LED drivers. It contains eight (8)
i n d i v i d u a l c a p a c i t i v e to u c h se n s o r in p u t s w i t h
programmable se ns itivity for use in tou ch sensor
applications. Each sensor input automatically recalibrates
to compensate for gradual environmental changes.
The CAP1188 also contains eight (8) LED drivers that offer
full-on / off, variable rate blinking, dimness controls, and
breathing. Each of the LED drivers may be linked to one of
the sensor inputs to be actuated when a touch is detected.
As well, each LED driver may be individually controlled via
a host controller.
The CAP1188 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 CAP1188 includes circuitry and support for
enhanced sensor proximity detection.
The CAP1188 offers multiple power states operating at low
quiescent currents. In the Standby state of operation, one
or more capacitive touch sensor inputs are active and all
LEDs may be used. If a touch is detected, it will wake the
system using the WAKE/SPI_MOSI pin.
Deep Sleep is the lowest power state available, drawing
5uA (typical) of current. In this state, no sensor inputs are
active. Driving the WAKE/SPI_MOSI pin or communications
will wake the device.
