SX8661

Low Power, Capacitive Button Touch and Proximity Controller

(8 sensors) with LED Drivers and Analog Output

Figure 39

LEDs in triple reporting mode proximity

Figure 39 shows an example of proximity detection and the reporting on LEDs. As soon as proximity is detected

all LEDs (2 LEDs are shown for simplicity) will fade in and stop at the proximity intensity level. In case proximity is

not detected anymore then the LEDs remain at the proximity intensity for a configurable time and then the fading

out will start.

Figure 40

LEDs in triple reporting mode proximity and touch

Figure 40 shows an example of proximity detection followed by a rapid touch on the sensor sd1.

The LEDs d1 and d2 will fade in as soon as proximity is detected (using the Inc_Prox parameter).

As soon as the finger touches the sensor sd1 the fading in of d1 will go to the ON intensity (using the touch

increment parameter).

The LED d2 remains at the proximity intensity level as sensors sd2 is not touched.

If the finger is removed rapidly the fading out of d1 will first use the touch decrement parameter to the proximity

intensity level. If the finger leaves the proximity region d1 and 2 will fade out simultaneously using the proximity

delay and decrement parameters.
