Overview
The CY8CMBR2010 CapSense Express™ capacitive touch
sensing controller saves time and money, quickly enabling a
capacitive touch sensing user interface in your design. It is a
hardware-configurable device and does not require any software
tools, firmware coding, or device programming. This device is
■ SmartSense™ Auto-Tuning
❐ Maintains optimal button performance even in noisy environ-
ment
❐ CapSense parameters dynamically set in runtime
❐ Saves time and effort in device tuning
❐ Wide parasitic capacitance (CP) range (5 pF - 40 pF)
enabled
with
Cypress’s
revolutionary
SmartSense™
Auto-Tuning algorithm. SmartSense™ Auto-Tuning ends the
need to manually tune the user interface during development
and production ramp. This speeds the time to volume and saves
valuable engineering time, test time and production yield loss.
■ Noise Immunity
The CY8CMBR2010 CapSense controller supports up to ten
capacitive touch sensing buttons and ten General Purpose
Outputs (GPO). The GPO is an active low output controlled
directly by the CapSense input making it ideal for a wide variety
of consumer, industrial, and medical applications. The wide
operating range of 1.71 V to 5.5 V enables unregulated battery
operation, further saving component cost. The same device can
also be used in different applications with varying power
supplies.
❐ Specifically designed for superior noise immunity to external
radiated and conducted noise
❐ Low radiated noise emission
■ System Diagnostics of CapSense buttons - reports faults at
device power up
❐ Button shorts
❐ Improper value of modulator capacitor (CMOD
)
❐ Out of range CPvalue
This device supports ultra low-power consumption in both run
mode and deep sleep modes to stretch battery life. In addition,
this device also supports many advanced features which
enhance the robustness and user interface of the end solution.
Some of the key advanced features include Noise Immunity and
FSS. Noise Immunity improves the immunity of the device
against radiated and conducted noise, such as audio and radio
frequency (RF) noise. FSS provides robust sensing even with
closely spaced buttons. FSS is a critical requirement in small
form factor applications.
■ Advanced features
❐ Robust sensing even with closely spaced buttons - flanking
sensor suppression (FSS)
❐ User-configurable LED Effects
• On-system power-on
• LED ON Time after button release
❐ Supports analog voltage output (requires external resistors)
❐ Serial Debug Data output
• Simplifies production-line testing and system debug
Power-on LED effects provide a visual feedback to the design at
power-on. This improves the aesthetic value of the end product.
System Diagnostics test for design faults at power-on and report
any failures. This simplifies production line testing and reduces
manufacturing costs. Serial Debug data output gives the critical
information about the design, such as button CP and
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This further helps in production line
testing.
■ Wide operating voltage range
❐ 1.71 V to 5.5 V – ideal for both regulated and unregulated
battery applications
■ Low power consumption
❐ Average current consumption of 21 µA [1] per button
❐ Deep sleep current: 100 nA
Note
1. 21 µA per button (4-buttons used, 3% touch time, 10 pF < Cp of all buttons < 20 pF, Button Scan Rate = 556 ms, with power consumption optimized, Noise Immunity
level “Normal”, CS0 sensitivity “High”).
