IFXCY8CMBR3116-LQXIT
Overview
The CY8CMBR3116-LQXIT is a register-configurable CapSense Express controller designed for capacitive touch sensing without the need for firmware development. It supports up to 16 capacitive touch inputs and includes an integrated SmartSense auto-tuning algorithm to maintain high sensitivity and reliability across varying environmental conditions. This controller features low power consumption, operating down to 1.71V, and includes specialized support for proximity sensing and liquid tolerance.
Why Choose This Part
This controller eliminates the complexity of capacitive sensing firmware development by using a fixed-function, register-configurable architecture. It delivers superior performance with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 100:1 and 0.1 pF sensitivity, ensuring reliable operation even in noisy environments. The device simplifies hardware design through automatic tuning and built-in features like Flanking Sensor Suppression (FSS) to prevent false triggers.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can configure the device using the EZ-Click Customizer tool, which generates a configuration file that can be loaded via the I2C interface. For rapid prototyping, the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit or the specialized CY8CKIT-145-40XX PSoC 4000S CapSense Prototyping Kit can serve as a reference. The device requires no code; all parameters are set by writing to the internal registers over I2C.
