SENSITIVITY

In adaptive threshold mode, the output comparator threshold is

set as a defined distance (sensitivity) above the data average,

below the data average, or both, depending on the selected

threshold mode of operation (see Figure 31). The sensitivity

value is programmable in the range 0 to 255 LSBs of the 12-bit

CDC converter (see the Register Descriptions section).

HYSTERESIS

In adaptive threshold mode, the comparator features hysteresis.

The hysteresis is fixed to one-fourth of the threshold sensitivity

and can be programmed on or off. The comparator does not

have hysteresis in the fixed threshold mode.

TIMEOUT

In the case of a large, long change in the capacitive input, when

the data average adapting to a new condition may take too long,

a timeout can be set.

The timeout becomes active (counting) when the CDC data

goes outside the band of data average ± sensitivity. When the

timeout elapses (a defined number of CDC conversions is

counted), the data average (and thus the thresholds), is forced to

follow the new CDC data value immediately (see Figure 33).

The timeout can be set independently for approaching (for change

in data toward the threshold) and for receding (for change in data

away from the threshold). See Figure 34, Figure 35, and the
