FUNCTIONS
This datasheet is applicable to all revision 2.3 chips
The QT102 is a single key QTouch™ chip combining a touch-on / touch-off
toggle mode with timeout and timing override functions, oriented especially
towards power control of small appliances and battery-operated products. With
its tiny low-cost SOT-23 package, this device can suit almost any product
needing a power switch or other toggle-mode controlled function.

SNS
A unique 'Green' feature of the QT102 is the timeout function, which can turn
off power after a specified time delay ranging from minutes to hours.
Furthermore, external 'sustain' and 'cancel' functions permit designs where the
timeout needs to be extended further or terminated early. A user's interaction
with a product might trigger a 'sustain' input, prolonging the time to shutoff. A
safety sensor, such as a tip-over switch on a space heater, can feed the
'cancel' function to terminate early.
SNSK
Like all QTouch™ devices, the QT102 features automatic self-calibration, drift
compensation, and spread-spectrum burst modulation in order to provide for
the most reliable touch sensing possible. This device brings inexpensive,
easy-to-implement capacitive touch sensing to all kinds of appliances and
equipment, from toys to coffee makers. The small, low cost SOT-23 package
lets this unique combination of features reside in almost any product.
