Microchip AT42QT2100-MUR 7 Channel QTouch Touch Sensor IC

Product Description Of AT42QT2100-MUR

AT42QT2100-MUR is an easy-to-use sensor IC based on the charge-transfer (QT" ) principles for robust operation and ease of design. This device has many advanced features which provide for reliable, trouble-free operation over the life of the product. In particular the AT42QT2100-MUR features advanced self-calibration, drift compensation, and fast thermal tracking. The AT42QT2100-MUR can tolerate some fluctuations in the power supply, and in many applications will not require a dedicated voltage regulator.

The AT42QT2100-MUR is capable of detecting near-proximity or touch on up to seven electrodes and a slider/wheel. It allows electrodes to project sense fields through any dielectric such as glass or plastic. These electrodes are laid out as a scroller (slider or wheel), plus seven additional independent keys.

Each key channel can be tuned for a unique sensitity level by simply changing a corresponding external Cs capacitor, whereas the slider/wheel sensitivity can be changed dynamically through SPI commands. Any number of key channels can be optimized for operation as hand proximity sensors by increasing the sensitivity for the corresponding channel.

Core Benefits Of AT42QT2100-MUR:

High sensitivity and anti-interference: With load-compensated charge sensing, parasitic capacitance compensation and hardware noise filtering technology, the AT42QT2100-MUR is able to achieve a stable touch response in complex electromagnetic environments without additional temperature or voltage compensation.

Low-power design: The AT42QT2100-MUR operates over a wide voltage range of 2V~5.5V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices such as wearables or portable instruments.

Simplified development process: The AT42QT2100-MUR integrates the QTouch library firmware and the QTouch Composer tool, allowing developers to quickly configure and debug sensors and shorten the time-to-market.

Package and Compatibility: The AT42QT2100-MUR is available in a 32-VQFN (5x5mm) surface mount package and is compatible with the QT1106 feature set, allowing it to be used as a direct replacement for older designs.
