APPLICATION NOTE: A value of 128x is the most sensitive setting available. At the most sensitivity settings, the

MSB of the Delta Count register represents 64 out of ~25,000 which corresponds to a touch

of approximately 0.25% of the base capacitance (or a

C of 25fF from a 10pF base

capacitance). Conversely a value of 1x is the least sensitive setting available. At these

settings, the MSB of the Delta Count register corresponds to a delta count of 8192 counts

out of ~25,000 which corresponds to a touch of approximately 33% of the base capacitance

(or a

C of 3.33pF from a 10pF base capacitance).

5.23

Standby Threshold Register

The Standby Threshold register stores the delta threshold that is used to determine if a touch has been detected. When

a touch occurs, the input signal of the corresponding sensor pad changes due to the capacitance associated with a

touch. If the sensor input change exceeds the threshold settings, a touch is detected.
