3 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor
with 3 LED Drivers
Datasheet
PRODUCT FEATURES
General Description
The CAP1133, which incorporates SMSC’s RightTouch
technology, is a multiple channel Capacitive Touch sensor
with multiple power LED drivers. It contains three (3)
individual capacitive touch sensor inputs with
programmable sensitivity for use in touch sensor
applications. Each sensor input automatically recalibrates
to compensate for gradual environmental changes.

Programmable sensitivity
The CAP1133 also contains three (3) 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.
Automatic recalibration
Individual thresholds for each button
Proximity Detection
Multiple Button Pattern Detection
Calibrates for Parasitic Capacitance
Analog Filtering for System Noise Sources
The CAP1133 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.
Press and Hold feature for Volume-like Applications

—
5uA quiescent current in Deep Sleep
50uA quiescent current in Standby (1 sensor input
monitored)
Additionally, the CAP1133 includes circuitry and support for
enhanced sensor proximity detection.
The CAP1133 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.

Can be linked to Capacitive Touch Sensor inputs
Deep Sleep is the lowest power state available, drawing
5uA (typical) of current. In this state, no sensor inputs are
active. Communications will wake the device.
