LDS6005
PureTouch™ Capacitance Touch IC
The LDS6005 PureTouch™ controller empowers system designers to create streamlined, attractive,
and reliable product designs, enabling the replacement of mechanical controls with capacitive touch
buttons, sliders, and scroll wheels.
Description
LDS6005 Features
The LDS6005 is a programmable capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) designed for use with capacitive
sensor arrays implementing touch-based input controls including sliders, scroll wheels, and buttons.
Featuring 10 sensor inputs, the LDS6005 provides the flexibility to implement multiple touch inputs using
a single controller.
Versatile, accurate capacitance-
to-digital converter (CDC)
•ꢀ 500ꢀkHzꢀsigma-deltaꢀCDC
•ꢀ 10ꢀcapacitanceꢀsensorꢀinputꢀchannels
•ꢀ 2ꢀmsꢀupdateꢀrateꢀperꢀactiveꢀsensor
The capacitive sensor inputs are directed through an integrated switch matrix to a 500 kHz sigma-delta
CDC which senses changes in the external sensor array. When a sufficiently large change in capacitance
occurs, a sensor activation is registered and the host processor is notified.
Integrated, automatic
calibration algorithms
•ꢀ Environmentalꢀcompensation
On-chip calibration logic continuously monitors the environment and automatically adjusts on-and-off
threshold levels to prevent false sensor activation. The LDS6005 is offered with both SPI-compatible
and I2C-compatible interfaces (active interface selected by I/F select pin) and features a general-purpose
input/output (GPIO) and interrupt output for additional communication with the host processor.
