In this mode, SNS10K is used as a SYNC pin to trigger key acquisition, rather than using the device’s internal clock. In this case the maximum number of keys is reduced to 10. The SYNC pin can use one of two methods to trigger key measurements, selectable via bit 4 of the Device Mode setup byte (see Section 7.4 on page 29): Low Level and Rising Edge. With the Low Level method the QT1111 operates in “free run” mode for as long as the SYNC pin is read as a logical “0”. When the SYNC pin goes high, the current measurement cycle will be finished and no more key measurements will be taken until the SYNC pin goes low again. The low level trigger should be a minimum of 1 ms so that there is sufficient time for the device to detect the low level. With the Rising Edge method all enabled keys are measured once when a rising edge is detected on the SYNC pin. This allows key measurements to be synchronized to an external event or condition. For example, the SYNC pin can be used by the host to synchronize several devices to each other. This would ensure that only one of the devices outputs pulses at any given time and signals from one QT1111 do not interfere with the measurements from another. Another use for synchronizing to the rising edge is to steady the signals when the device is running off a mains transformer with insufficient mains frequency filtering that is causing a 50Hz or 60Hz ripple on Vdd. If the mains voltage is scaled down with a simple voltage divider and connected to the SYNC pin, then the key measurement can be triggered by the rising edge detected at a positive going zero-crossing. Note that in this case, each key signal will be taken at the same point in the cycle, so Vdd will be the same at each measurement for a given key and the signals will be steadier. 4.9 Guard Channel Option The device has a guard channel option (available in all key modes), which allows one key to be configured as a guard channel to help prevent false detection (see Figure 4-9 on page 20). Guard channel keys should be more sensitive than the other keys (physically bigger or larger Cs), subject to burst length limitations (see Section 4.11.2 on page 21). With guard channel enabled, the designated key is connected to a sensor pad which detects the presence of touch and overrides any output from the other keys using the chip’s AKS feature. The guard channel option is enabled by the Guard Key setup byte (see Section 7.5 on page 30). With the guard channel not enabled, all the keys work normally. Note: If a key is already “in detect” when the guard channel becomes active, that key will remain in detect and the guard key will not activate until the active key goes out of detect. |
