Compensates for variable sensing pads
Programmable sensitivity
High SNR allows for easy tuning
Automatic recalibration
Slider acceleration and position detection
Proximity detection
The CAP1214 contains up to fourteen (14) individual
Capacitive Touch sensor inputs with programmable
sensitivity for use in touch button and slider switch
applications. Each sensor input contains automatic
recalibration with programmable time delays.
Lid closure detection
Low power operation
The CAP1214 includes compensation circuitry that
provides uniform touch sensitivity across a wide range
of external sensing pad capacitance.
—
4.5uA quiescent current in Deep Sleep
—
250uA quiescent current in Sleep, monitoring 1 button
FEEDBACK pin can drive a piezo transducer when a
touch is detected
User controlled reset
Low external component count
SMBus 2.0 compliant interface to change operating
parameters to work in a wide variety of systems
The CAP1214 also contains eleven (11) low side LED
drivers that offer full-on / off, variable rate blinking,
dimness controls, and breathing. LED outputs can be
linked to capacitive sensor channels.
