Enhanced Touch Key
Features
General Description
• Operating voltage: 2.2V~5.5V
• Low standby current
• Auto-calibration
The BS81x is a series of 1~16 key touch key devices
which can detect human body contact using external
touch pads. The high level of device integration
enable applications to be implemented with a
minimum number of external components.
• Reliable touch detections
• Standby and normal operating modes
• Maximum key on duration time detection
• Adaptive voltage drop function
The BS81x series devices are equipped with serial or
parallel interfaces to allow easy communication with
an external MCU for device setup and for touch pin
monitoring purposes. Special internal circuitry is also
employed to ensure excellent power noise rejection to
reduce the possibility of false detections, increasing
the touch switch application reliability under adverse
environmental conditions.
• Level Hold, selectable active level-low or high
• NMOS output with internal pull-high/CMOS-
Direct Output
• Both serial interface and parallel outputs
• Sensitivity adjustment using an external capacitor
• Minimal number of external components
With auto-calibration, low standby current, excellent
resistance to voltage fluctuation and other features,
this range of touch key devices provide a simple and
effective means of implementing touch key operation
in a wide variety of applications.
Selection Table
For this device series, most of the feature are similar. The BS818C-3, BS8112C-3 and BS8116C-3 provide I2C
function. The BS814C-2 and BS818C-2 include a serial interface function while the BS811C-1, BS812C-1,
BS813C-1, BS814C-1 and BS816C-1 have parallel outputs. Meanwhile the BS818C-3, BS8112C-3 and
BS8116C-3 can set up some options and the sensitivity through the I2C communication interface and the
BS816C-1 and BS818C-2 include two hardware options. The following table summarizes the main characteristics
of each device.
