Multiple Touch Configuration Register

The Multiple Touch Configuration register controls the settings for the multiple touch detection circuitry. These settings

determine the number of simultaneous buttons that may be pressed before additional buttons are blocked and the MULT

status bit is set.

Bit 7 - MULT_BLK_EN - Enables the multiple button blocking circuitry.

• ‘0’ - The multiple touch circuitry is disabled. The device will not block multiple touches.

• ‘1’ (default) - The multiple touch circuitry is enabled. The device will flag the number of touches equal to pro-

grammed multiple touch threshold and block all others. It will remember which sensor inputs are valid and block all

others until that sensor pad has been released. Once a sensor pad has been released, the N detected touches

(determined via the sensing cycle order of CS1 - CS6) will be flagged and all others blocked.

Bits 3 - 2 - B_MULT_T[1:0] - Determines the number of simultaneous touches on all sensor pads before a Multiple Touch

Event is detected and sensor inputs are blocked. The bit decode is given by Table 5-27.

Multiple Touch Pattern Configuration Register

The Multiple Touch Pattern Configuration register controls the settings for the multiple touch pattern detection circuitry.

This circuitry works like the multiple touch detection circuitry with the following differences:

The detection threshold is a percentage of the touch detection threshold as defined by the MTP_TH[1:0] bits

whereas the multiple touch circuitry uses the touch detection threshold.

The MTP detection circuitry either will detect a specific pattern of sensor inputs as determined by the Multiple

Touch Pattern register settings or it will use the Multiple Touch Pattern register settings to determine a minimum

number of sensor inputs that will cause the MTP circuitry to flag an event (see Section 5.16, "Multiple Touch Pat-
