CapSense Technology TermsCapacitanceThe property of a conductive body, such as a copper trace on a PCB, to store an electric charge

Can increase or decrease because of manufacturing tolerances and environmental changes

Capacitive Sensing SystemA system capable of measuring and responding to a change in Capacitance

Capacitive SensorA conductor and substrate, such as a copper button on a printed circuit board (PCB), which reacts to a touch or an approaching

object with a change in capacitance

Sensor LayoutThe placement of Capacitive Sensors, for example, on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Raw Count A digital signal generated by a Capacitive Sensing System

The capacitance of a Capacitive Sensor is digitized into a Raw Count

Sensing ParametersParameters that define the response and performance of a Capacitive Sensing System, including

Sensitivity: The minimum Capacitance change measured by the Capacitive Sensing System (for example, 100 fF)

Baseline: The reference value against which changes in Capacitance are measured (for example, a Raw Count of 3,000)

Touch Threshold: The minimum Capacitance change needed to trigger a response from a Capacitive Sensing System (for example, a Raw Count change of 5,000)

CapSense Technology TermsFirmware Development The process of developing algorithms in a programming language, such as the C language, to control the response

of a Capacitive Sensing System with an embedded microcontroller

Manual TuningThe manual process of setting Sensing Parameters for optimal performance during the design phase

Required on an ongoing basis to compensate for system, manufacturing and environmental changes during the prototyping and manufacturing phases

SmartSense Auto-tuningA CapSense algorithm that automatically sets Sensing Parameters for optimal performance after the design phase

Continuously compensates for system, manufacturing and environmental changes

Parasitic Capacitance (CP)

The intrinsic Capacitance of the PCB traces, or other connections, to a Capacitive Sensor

Reduces the sensitivity of a Capacitive Sensor by attenuating the sensor signal

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)The ratio of the sensor signal, when touched, to the noise signal of an untouched sensor

Capacitive Sensing Systems require an SNR of 5:1 per IEC standard 61000-4-3/6-1

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)May degrade the performance of a Capacitive Sensing System

Systems must meet IEC 61000-4-3/6-1 standards for immunity to external noise (“Radiated Immunity”)

May be emitted by the Capacitive Sensing System

Systems must meet IEC 61000-6-3 noise standards (“Radiated Emission”)

How CapSense registers a touchA Capacitive Sensor is used to measure the change in Capacitance between a pin and the ground

CapSense algorithms and analog circuitry convert the measured Capacitance to a Raw Count

A finger touch increases the Capacitance of the system, which in turn increases the Raw Count

An increase in the Raw Count above a user-defined Touch Threshold registers a touch

Design ProblemsEliminate mechanical parts, like floats, that tend to wear outAccurately measure the level of milk in a containerEliminate all sensors inside the container

CapSense SolutionReplaces liquid-level sensors with Capacitive SensorsAccurately measures up to 0.2 cmEnables Capacitive Sensors to be mounted outside

the container
