CAP1106 6 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor General Description Features The CAP1106, which incorporates RightTouch tech- Six (6) Capacitive Touch Sensor Inputs - nology, is a multiple channel Capacitive Touch sensor. CAP1106 The CAP1106 contains six (6) individual capacitive - Programmable sensitivity touch sensor inputs. The device offers programmable - Automatic recalibration sensitivity for use in touch sensor applications. Each - Individual thresholds for each button sensor input automatically recalibrates to compensate Proximity Detection for gradual environmental changes. Multiple Button Pattern Detection The CAP1106 includes Multiple Pattern Touch recogni- Calibrates for Parasitic Capacitance tion that allows the user to select a specific set of but- tons to be touched simultaneously. If this pattern is Analog Filtering for System Noise Sources detected, then a status bit is set and an interrupt gen- Press and Hold feature for Volume-like Applica- erated. tions Multiple Communication Interfaces Additionally, the CAP1106 includes circuitry and sup- 2 port for enhanced sensor proximity detection.
