2. Overview of the AT42QT1110
2.1
Introduction
The AT42QT1110 (QT1110) is a digital burst mode charge-transfer (QT™) capacitive sensor
driver designed for any touch-key applications.
The keys can be constructed in different shapes and sizes. Refer to the Touch Sensors Design
Guide and Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch™ Design, for more
information on construction and design methods (both downloadable from the Atmel® website).
The device includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a
wide variety of changing conditions, and the outputs are fully debounced. Only a few external
parts are required for operation.
The QT1110 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to suppress heavily the
effects of external noise, and to suppress RF emissions.
2.2
Configurations
The QT1110 is designed as a versatile device, capable of various configurations. There are two
basic configurations for the QT1110:
• 11-key QTouch. The device can sense up to 11 keys.
• 7-key QTouch with individual outputs for each key. The device can sense up to 7 keys and
drive the matching Detect outputs to a user-configurable PWM.
Both configurations allow for a choice of acquisition modes, thus providing a variety of
possibilities that will satisfy most applications (see the following sections for more information).
Additionally, the SYNC line can be used as an external trigger input. Note that in 11-key mode
the SYNC line replaces one key, thus allowing only 10 keys.
See Section 4.7 on page 18 for more information.
2.3
Guard Channel
The device has a guard channel option (available in all key modes), which allows one key to be
configured as a guard channel to help prevent false detection. See Section 4.9 on page 19 for
more information.
2.4
Self-test Functions
The QT1110 has two types of self-test functions:
• Internal Hardware tests – check for hardware failures in the device’s internal memory.
• Functional checks – confirm that the device is operating within expected parameters.
See Section 4.10 on page 20 for more information.

9570I–AT42–03/10
3. Wiring and Parts
3.1
Cs Sample Capacitors
Cs0 – Cs10 are the charge sensing sample capacitors. Normally they are identical in nominal
value. The optimal Cs values depend on the thickness of the panel and its dielectric constant.
Thicker panels require larger values of Cs. Values can be in the range 2.2 nF (for faster
operation) to 33 nF (for best sensitivity); typical values are 4.7 nF to 10 nF.
The value of Cs should be chosen so that a light touch on a key produces a reduction of
~20 to 30 in the key signal value (see Section 6.8 on page 26). The chosen Cs value should
never be so large that the key signals exceed ~1000, as reported by the chip in the debug data.
The Cs capacitors must be X7R or PPS film type, for stability. For consistent sensitivity, they
should have a 10 percent tolerance. Twenty percent tolerance may cause small differences in
sensitivity from key to key and unit to unit. If a key is not used, the Cs capacitor may be omitted.
3.2
Rs Resistors
The series resistors Rs0 – Rs10 are inline with the electrode connections and should be used to
limit electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents and to suppress radio frequency (RF) interference.
Values should be approximately 2 kto 20 k each; a typical value is 4.7 k.
Although these resistors may be omitted, the device may become susceptible to external noise
or radio frequency interference (RFI). For details of how to select these resistors see the
Application Note QTAN0002, Secrets of a Successful QTouch™ Design, downloadable from the
Touch Technology area of Atmel’s website, www.atmel.com.
3.3
LED Traces and Other Switching Signals
Digital switching signals near the sense lines can induce transients into the acquired signals,
deteriorating the SNR performance of the device. Such signals should be routed away from the
sensing traces and electrodes, or the design should be such that these lines are not switched
during the course of signal acquisition (bursts).
LED terminals which are multiplexed or switched into a floating state, and which are within, or
physically very near, a key (even if on another nearby PCB) should be bypassed to either Vss or
Vdd with at least a 1 nF capacitor. This is to suppress capacitive coupling effects which can
induce false signal shifts. The bypass capacitor does not need to be next to the LED, in fact it
can be quite distant. The bypass capacitor is noncritical and can be of any type.
LED terminals which are constantly connected to Vss or Vdd do not need further bypassing.
3.4
PCB Cleanliness
Modern no-clean flux is generally compatible with capacitive sensing circuits.
CAUTION: If a PCB is reworked to correct soldering faults relating to the QT1110, or
to any associated traces or components, be sure that you fully understand the nature
of the flux used during the rework process. Leakage currents from hygroscopic ionic
residues can stop capacitive sensors from functioning. If you have any doubts, a
thorough cleaning after rework may be the only safe option.

3.5.1
Power Supply
General Considerations
See Section 8.2 on page 38 for the power supply range. If the power supply fluctuates slowly
with temperature, the device tracks and compensates for these changes automatically with only
minor changes in sensitivity. If the supply voltage drifts or shifts quickly, the drift compensation
mechanism is not able to keep up, causing sensitivity anomalies or false detections.
The usual power supply considerations with QT parts apply to the device. The power should be
clean and come from a separate regulator if possible. However, this device is designed to
minimize the effects of unstable power, and, except in extreme conditions, should not require a
separate Low Dropout (LDO) regulator.
See underneath Figure 1.3 on page 4 for suggested regulator manufacturers.
Caution: A regulator IC shared with other logic can result in erratic operation and is
not advised.
A single ceramic 0.1 µF bypass capacitor, with short traces, should be placed very
close to the power pins of the IC. Failure to do so can result in device oscillation,
high current consumption, erratic operation etc.
It is assumed that a larger bypass capacitor (like1 µF) is somewhere else in the power circuit; for
example, near the regulator.
3.5.2
Brownout Detection
The QT1110 includes a power supply monitoring circuit that detects if Vdd drops below a safe
operating voltage. When this occurs, the device goes into a “Reset” state, where no acquisition
or processing is carried out. The device remains in this state until Vdd returns to the specified
voltage range.
Once a safe operating voltage is detected, the QT1110 behaves as per normal power-on/reset
conditions; that is, any saved settings are restored from EEPROM, the internal self-tests are run
and all channels are calibrated.
The Brown-out detector threshold is 2.7V ±10 percent.
3.6
MLF Package Restrictions
The central pad on the underside of the MLF chip should be connected to ground. Do not run
any tracks underneath the body of the chip, only ground. Figure 3-1 shows an example of
good/bad tracking.

4. Detailed Operations
4.1
4.1.1
Communications
Introduction
All communication with the device is carried out over the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). This is
a synchronous serial data link that operates in full-duplex mode. The host communicates with
the QT controller over the SPI using a master-slave relationship, with the QT1110 acting in slave
mode.
4.1.2
SPI Operation
The SPI uses four logic signals:
• Serial Clock (SCK) – output from the host.
• Master Output, Slave Input (MOSI) – output from the host, input to the QT controller. Used by
the host to send data to the QT controller.
• Master Input, Slave Output (MISO) – input to the host, output from the QT controller. Used by
the QT device to send data to the host.
• Slave Select (SS) – active low output from the host.
At each byte, the master pulls SS low and generates 8 clock pulses on SCK. With these 8 clock
pulses, a byte of data is transmitted from the master to the slave over MOSI, most significant bit
(msb) first.
Simultaneously a byte of data is transmitted from the slave to the master over MISO, also most
significant bit first.
The slave reads the status of MOSI at the leading edge of each clock pulse, and the master
reads the slave’s data from MISO at the trailing edge.
The QT1110 requires that the clock idles “high”, meaning that the data on MOSI and MISO pins
are set at the falling edges and sampled at the rising edges.
That is:
Clock polarity CPOL = 1
Clock phase CPHA = 1
The QT1110 SPI interface can operate at any SCK frequency up to 1.5 MHz.
In multibyte communications, the master must pause for a minimum delay of 150 µs between
the completion of one byte exchange and the beginning of the next.
Note that the number of bytes to be transmitted depends on the initial command sent by the
host. This sets the mode on the QT1110 so that the QT1110 knows how to respond to, or how to
interpret, the following bytes. If there is a delay of >100 ms between bytes while the QT1110 is
waiting for data, or waiting to send data, then the incomplete transmission is discarded and the
device resets its SPI state machine. It will then interpret the next byte it receives as a fresh
command.
When the QT1110 SPI interface is receiving a new command, it returns the “Idle” status code
(0x55) on MISO during the first byte exchange to indicate to the master that it is in the correct
state for receiving instructions.

9570I–AT42–03/10
AT42QT1110-MZ/AT42QT1110-AZ
4.1.3
CRC Bytes
If enabled, a CRC checking procedure is implemented on all communications between the SPI
master and the QT1110. In this case, each command or report request sent by the master must
have a byte appended containing the CRC checksum of the data sent. The QT1110 will not
respond to commands until the CRC byte has been received and verified.
Sample C code showing the algorithm for calculating the CRC of the data can be found in
Appendix A.
When the QT1110 is expecting a CRC byte, it returns (on MISO) the calculated CRC byte which
it expects to receive. This is sent simultaneously with the QT1110 receiving the CRC byte from
the master (that is, during the same byte exchange). This allows both devices to confirm that the
data was sent correctly.
All data returned by the QT1110 is also be followed by a CRC byte, allowing the master to
confirm the integrity of the data transmission.
4.1.4
SPI Commands
There are three types of communication between the SPI master and the QT1110:
• Control commands (see Section 5 on page 22)
– To send control instructions to the QT1110
• Report requests (see Section 6 on page 24)
– To reading status information from the QT1110
• Setup commands (see Section 7 on page 28)
– To set configuration options (“Set” instructions)
– To read configuration options (“Get” instructions)
Additionally the “Null” command (0x00) is transmitted by the host device as it is receiving data
from the QT1110.
4.1.4.1
Control Commands
A control command is an instruction sent to the QT1110 that controls operations of the device,
and for which no response is required. Examples of control commands are: “Reset”, “Calibrate”,
“Send Setups”.
With the exception of “Send Setups”, control commands normally require a single byte
exchange, unless CRC checking is enabled, in which case a second byte must be transmitted
by the host with the calculated CRC of the command byte.

Command CRC: 0x3F
Response: 0x3F (Expected Command CRC)
When the “Send Setups” command is received, the QT1110 stops measurement of QTouch
sensors and waits for 42 bytes of data to be sent. Only when all 42 bytes have been received
(and the CRC byte, if CRC is enabled), the QT1110 applies all the settings to RAM and resumes
measurement. In this case, if CRC is enabled, the CRC byte is calculated for all the data sent by
the host, including the command byte 0x01.
Control Commands are specified in detail in Section 5 on page 22.
4.1.5
Report Requests
Report Requests are sent by the Host to instruct the QT1110 to return status information. The
host sends the appropiate “Report Request” command, then transmits Null bytes on MOSI while
the QT1110 returns the report data on MISO.

For example, Figure 4-3 on page 12 shows the exchange that takes place to read the 2-byte “All
Keys” report. In this exchange, the host sends:
0xC1 — 0x00 — 0x00
and the QT1110 returns (simultaneously):
0x55 — Report Byte 0 — Report Byte 1
If CRC is enabled, this exchange is extended to 5 bytes, as shown in Figure 4-4.

4.1.5.1
Set Instructions
Set Instructions are 2-byte transmissions by the host that are used to send settings to individual
locations in the device memory map.
At the first byte, the QT1110 returns 0x55 (“Idle”) to confirm that it will interpret the byte as a new
command. At the second byte, the QT1110 returns the “Set” command it has just received.
For example, to set the “Positive Recalibration Delay” to 1920 ms, address 5 in the memory map
is set to 12 (0x0C). This is done with the “Set” command for address 5 (command code 0x95),
as shown in Figure 4-5 on page 14.

“Set” Data: 0x0C
Response: 0x95 (Command Just Received)
With CRC Enabled, a CRC byte is also required (Figure 4-6). This is calculated for the two
transmitted bytes (that is, the “Set” command and the data byte).
For example, for the sequence shown in Figure 4-5 (0x95 — 0x0C), the CRC Byte is 0x9F. As is
the case with the other command types, when the QT1110 is expecting a CRC byte from the
host, it calculates that byte in advance and returns the expected value to the host in the same
transmission as the host sends the CRC byte.
The sent data is not applied to the memory location until the CRC byte has been received and
verified.

The host sends the appropriate “Get” command, followed by a “Null” byte. The QT1110 returns
the contents of the addressed memory location.
Figure 4-7 on page 15 shows the exchange for a report on the positive recalibration delay
(assuming that the data byte is 0x0C).
With CRC Enabled, this exchange takes 4 bytes, with a command CRC transmitted by the host
and a report CRC returned by the QT1110 (see Figure 4-8).

4.1.6.4
Quick SPI Mode timing
In Quick SPI mode, the minimum time between byte exchanges is reduced to 50 µS.
If a pause in communications of 100 ms is detected during reading of the 7-byte report, the
QT1110 resets the exchange, and on the next byte read it returns byte 0 of the report.
4.2
Reset
The QT1110 can be reset using one of two methods:
• Hardware reset: An external reset logic line can be used if desired, fed into the RESET pin.
However, under most conditions it is acceptable to tie RESET to Vdd.
• Software reset: A software reset can be forced using the “Reset” control command.
For both methods, the device will follow the same initialization sequence. If there any saved
settings in the EEPROM, these are loaded into RAM. Otherwise the default settings are applied.
Note:
4.3
The SPI interface becomes active after the QT1110 has completed its startup sequence,
taking approximately 160 ms after power on/reset.
Sleep Mode
The QT1110 can be put into a very low power sleep mode (typically < 2 µA). During sleep mode,
no keys are measured and the DETECT outputs are all put into high impedience mode to
minimize current consumption. The device remains in sleep mode until a falling edge is detected
on either the SS pin or the CHANGE pin. When the QT1110 wakes from sleep mode, it
continues to operate as it was before it was put into sleep mode. The QT1110 requires
approximately 100 µs to wake from sleep mode and will not respond correctly to SPI
communications until the wake-up procedure is complete. The low level on the SS or CHANGE
pin that is used to wake the device must be maintained for 100 µs to ensure correct operation.
Note:
4.4
If the device is set to sleep mode for an extended period, the host should initiate a
recalibration immediately after waking the QT1110.
Calibration
The device can be forced to recalibrate the sensor keys at any time. This can be useful where,
for example, a portable device is plugged into mains power, or during product development
when settings are being tuned.
The QT1110 can also be configured to automatically recalibrate if it remains in detection for too
long. This avoids keys becoming “stuck” after a prolonged period of uninterrupted detection. See
Section 7.18 on page 37 for details.
4.5
CHANGE Pin
The CHANGE pin can be configured using the Comms Options setup byte (see Section 7.5 on
page 30) to act in one of two modes:
• Data mode
– The CHANGE pin is asserted (pulled low) when the detection status of a key
changes from that last sent to the host; that is when a key-touch or key-release event
occurs.
– The CHANGE pin is pulled low when a key’s status changes and is only released
when the “Send All keys” report is requested (0xC1), or the key status information
bytes are read in Quick SPI mode (see Section 7.5 on page 30).
17
9570I–AT42–03/10
• Touch mode
– The CHANGE pin is pulled low when one or more keys are in detect. The CHANGE
pin remains low as long as there is a key in detect, regardless of communications.
– The CHANGE pin is released when there are no keys in detect. No host
communications are required to release the CHANGE pin.
4.6
Stand-alone Mode
The QT1110 can operate in a stand-alone mode without the use of the SPI interface. The
settings are loaded from EEPROM and the device operates in 7-key mode using the Detect
outputs.
4.7
4.7.1
Key Modes
11-key Mode
In 11-key mode, the device can sense up to 11 keys. Alternatively, one key can be replaced by
the SYNC line as an external trigger input (see Section 4.8.2 on page 19).
11-key mode is configured by setting the “MODE” bit in the Device Mode setup byte (see
Section 7.4 on page 29).
Key acquisition can be triggered in one of two ways: using the internal clock to trigger acquisition
either at a fixed repetition period or in a continuous “free run” mode (see Section 4.8.1), or using
the SYNC pin to provide an external trigger (see Section 4.8.2 on page 19),
4.7.2
7-key Mode
In 7-key mode, the detect outputs DETECT0 to DETECT6 become active on pins 22–27 and 30.
These outputs provide configurable PWM signals that indicate when each of the keys is
touched.
7-key mode is configured by clearing the “MODE” bit in the Device Mode setup byte (see
Section 7.4 on page 29).
Each DETECT output can be individually configured to output a PWM signal while the matching
key is in detect or out of detect. This signal can be one of nine levels, ranging from low
(PWM = 0 percent) to high (PWM = 100 percent). This allows for the use of an indicating LED.
This is achieved by enabling the appropriate bit in the Key to LED setup byte (see Section 7.14
on page 35), and setting the desired outputs levels or PWMs in setup addresses 9 to 15 (see
Section 7.12 on page 33).
4.8
Trigger Modes
4.8.1
Timed Trigger
In 11-key mode, The QT1110 can be configured to use the internal clock as a timed trigger. In
this case, the QT1110 is configured with a cycle period, such that each acquisition cycle starts a
specified length of time after the start of the previous cycle. If the cycle period is set to “0”, each
acquisition cycle starts as soon as the previous one has finished, resulting in the acquisition
cycles running back-to-back in a “free run” mode.
The use of a timed trigger, and the cycle period to be used, is set in the Device Mode setup byte
(see Section 7.4 on page 29).

9570I–AT42–03/10
AT42QT1110-MZ/AT42QT1110-AZ
4.8.2
Synchronized Trigger
In 11-key mode, if a time trigger is not enabled, the QT1110 operates in “synchronized” mode. In
this mode, SNS10K is used as a SYNC pin to trigger key acquisition, rather than using the
device’s internal clock. In this case the maximum number of keys is reduced to 10.
The SYNC pin can use one of two methods to trigger key measurements, selectable via bit 4 of
the Device Mode setup byte (see Section 7.4 on page 29): Low Level and Rising Edge.
With the Low Level method the QT1110 operates in “free run” mode for as long as the SYNC pin
is read as a logical “0”. When the SYNC pin goes high, the current measurement cycle will be
finished and no more key measurements will be taken until the SYNC pin goes low again.
The low level trigger should be a minimum of 1 ms so that there is sufficient time for the device
to detect the low level.
With the Rising Edge method all enabled keys are measured once when a rising edge is
detected on the SYNC pin. This allows key measurements to be synchronized to an external
event or condition.
For example, the SYNC pin can be used by the host to synchronize several devices to each
other. This would ensure that only one of the devices outputs pulses at any given time and
signals from one QT1110 do not interfere with the measurements from another.
Another use for synchronizing to the rising edge is to steady the signals when the device is
running off a mains transformer with insufficient mains frequency filtering that is causing a 50Hz
or 60Hz ripple on Vdd. If the mains voltage is scaled down with a simple voltage divider and
connected to the SYNC pin, then the key measurement can be triggered by the rising edge
detected at a positive going zero-crossing. Note that in this case, each key signal will be taken at
the same point in the cycle, so Vdd will be the same at each measurement for a given key and
the signals will be steadier.
4.9
Guard Channel Option
The device has a guard channel option (available in all key modes), which allows one key to be
configured as a guard channel to help prevent false detection (see Figure 4-9 on page 20).
Guard channel keys should be more sensitive than the other keys (physically bigger or larger
Cs), subject to burst length limitations (see Section 4.11.2 on page 21).
With guard channel enabled, the designated key is connected to a sensor pad which detects the
presence of touch and overrides any output from the other keys using the chip’s AKS feature.
The guard channel option is enabled by the Guard Key setup byte (see Section 7.5 on page 30).
With the guard channel not enabled, all the keys work normally.
Note:
If a key is already “in detect” when the guard channel becomes active, that key will
remain in detect and the guard key will not activate until the active key goes out of
detect.

Self-test Functions
Internal Hardware Tests
Internal hardware tests check for hardware failure in the device’s internal memory areas and
data paths. Any failure detected in the function or contents of application ROM, RAM or registers
causes the device to reset itself.
The application code is scanned with a CRC check routine to confirm that the application data is
all correct.
The RAM and registers are checked periodically (every 10 seconds) for dynamic and static
failures.
4.10.2
Functional Checks
Functional checks confirm that the device is operating within expected parameters; any failure
detected in these tests is notified to the system host. The device will continue to operate in the
event that such functional failures are detected.
The functional tests are:
• Check that the channel-measurement signals are within the defined range.
• Confirm that data stored in the EEPROM is valid.
These tests are carried out as the particular functions are used. For example, the EEPROM is
checked when the device attempts to load data from EEPROM, and the channel signals are
checked when a measurement is carried out.
Note:
4.11
4.11.1
If a particular channel is unused, the threshold of that channel should be set to 0 to
prevent the incorrect reporting of the unused channel as being in an error state.
Signal Processing
Detection Integrator
The device features a detection integration mechanism, which acts to confirm a detection in a
robust fashion. A per-key counter is incremented each time the key has exceeded its threshold.
When this counter reaches a preset limit the key is finally declared to be touched. For example,
if the DI limit is set to 10, then a key’s signal must fall by more than the key threshold, and
remain below that level for 10 acquisitions, before the key is declared to be touched.
Similarly, the DI is applied to a key that is going out of detect: it must take 10 acquisitions where
the signal has not exceeded its detect threshold before it is declared to leave touch.

4.11.2
Burst Length Limitations
The maximum burst length is 2048 pulses. The recommended design is to use a capacitor that
gives a signal of <1000 pulses.
The number of pulses in the burst can be obtained by reading the key signal (that is, the number
of pulses to complete measurement of the key’s signal) over the SPI interface (see Section 6.8
on page 26). Alternatively, a scope can be used to measure the entire burst, and then the burst
length divided by the time for a single pulse.
Note that the keys are independent of each other. It is therefore possible, for example, to have a
signal of 100 on one key and a signal of 1000 on another.
4.11.3
Adjacent Key Suppression Technology
The device includes Atmel’s patented Adjacent Key Suppression (AKS) technology to allow the
use of tightly spaced keys on a keypad with no loss of selectability by the user.
AKS is enabled or disabled for each key individually; only one key out of those enabled for AKS
may be reported as touched at any one time. The first key touched dominates and stays in
detect until it is released, even if another stronger key is reported. Once it is released, the next
strongest key is reported. If two keys are simultaneously detected, the strongest key is reported,
allowing a user to slide a finger across multiple keys with only the dominant key reporting touch.
Each key can be enabled for AKS processing via the AKS mask (see Section 7.11 on page 33).
Keys outside the group of enabled keys may be in detect simultaneously.

Control Commands
Commands are implemented immediately upon reception, so a suitable delay is
required for the operation to be completed before communications can be
re-established.
Send Setups (0x01)
This command initiates the upload of the full settings table to the QT1110 (see Section 7 on
page 28).
When this command is received, the QT1110 stops key measurement and waits until 42 bytes of
setup data have been received. Key acquisition will restart after all the setup data has been
received.
If enabled, a CRC check byte is transmitted (both ways) after the 42 bytes to confirm that they
have been received correctly.
If CRC checking is not enabled, it is recommended that the host request a dump of setup data
from the QT1110, and confirms that the data correctly matches the data sent.
The host must wait for at least 150 µs for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.3
Calibrate All (0x03)
This command initiates the recalibration of all sensor keys.
The host must wait for at least 150 µs for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.

9570I–AT42–03/10
AT42QT1110-MZ/AT42QT1110-AZ
5.4
Reset (0x04)
The Reset command forces the QT1110 to reset. If the setups data is present in the EEPROM,
the setups are loaded into the device. Otherwise default settings are applied.
The host must wait for at least 160 ms for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.5
Sleep (0x05)
The Sleep command puts the device into sleep mode (see Section 4.3 on page 17).
The host must wait for at least 150 µs after a low signal is applied to the SS or CHANGE pin to
wake the device before communications can be re-established.
5.6
Store to EEPROM (0x0A)
Stores the current RAM contents to the QT1110’s internal EEPROM. When the device is reset, it
will automatically reload these settings.
The host must wait for at least 200 ms for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.7
Restore from EEPROM (0x0B)
Settings stored in EEPROM are automatically loaded into RAM when the device is reset. If
desired, these settings can be re-loaded into RAM using the ‘Restore from EEPROM’ command.
The host must wait for at least 150 ms for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.8
Erase EEPROM (0x0C)
This command erases the settings stored in EEPROM and then resets the QT1110. This causes
the QT1110 to revert to its default settings.
The host must wait for at least 50 ms for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.9
Recover EEPROM (0x0D)
This command “undeletes” the setup data that was previously stored in the device’s EEPROM
and has been erased using the “Erase EEPROM” command.
Note:
If valid settings have not previously been stored in the device EEPROM, the QT1110
continues to operate under the default settings.
The host must wait for at least 50 ms for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.
5.10
Calibrate Key (0x1k)
This command recalibrates the key specified by “k”. For example, to calibrate key 4, the host
sends “0x14”; to calibrate key 10, the host sends “0x1A”.
The host must wait for at least 150 µs for the operation to be completed before communications
can be re-established.

Note that SPI communications are full-duplex, so the host must transmit on the MOSI pin to
keep the communications active, while reading data from the QT1110 on the MOSI pin. Failure
to do this within 100 ms will cause the device to assume that the exchange has been abandoned
and reset the SPI interface. The host should therefore send one or two “NULL” bytes, as
appropriate, on the MOSI line as it receives the 1- or 2-byte report data from the device.

For details of the communication flow, see Section 4.1 on page 10.
7.3
Setting All the Setups
The host can send all 42 bytes of setup data to the QT1110 as a block using the Send Setups
command. See Section 5.2 on page 22 for details.

See Section 4.1.6 on page 16 for details of the Quick SPI Mode report.
To exit this mode (and clear the “SPI_EN” bit), the command “0x36” should be sent. To save the
settings to EEPROM and make Quick SPI mode active on startup, send the “Store to EEPROM”
command (0x0A). Any other data sent is ignored in Quick SPI mode.
CHG: the CHANGE pin mode (see Section 4.5 on page 17):
0 = “Data” mode. In this mode the “Change” pin is asserted to indicate unread data.
1 = “Touch” mode. In this mode the “Change” pin is asserted when a key is being touched
or is in detect.
CRC: enables or disables CRC; 0 = disable, 1 = enable. When this option is enabled, each data
exchange must have a CRC byte appended.
When report or setup data is being returned by the QT1110, a 1-byte checksum is returned. The
host should confirm that this checksum is correct and, if not, should request the report again.

DHT
DIL: the detection integrator (DI) limit. To suppress false detections caused by spurious events
like electrical noise, the device incorporates a DI counter mechanism. A per-key counter is
incremented each time the channel has exceeded its threshold and stayed there for a number of
acquisitions in succession, without going below the threshold level. When this counter reaches a
preset limit the channel is finally declared to be touched. If on any acquisition the delta is not
seen to exceed the threshold level, the counter is cleared and the process has to start from the
beginning.
Note:
A setting of 0 for DI is invalid; the valid range is 1 to 15.
DHT: the drift hold time. After a key-touch has been removed, the QT1110 pauses in the
implementation of its “Drift” compensation for a time. After this time has expired, drift
compensation continues as normal. The “Drift Hold Time” is a multiple of 160 ms, providing
options from 0 to 2400 ms.

PHYST
PTHR: the positive threshold for the signal. If a key signal is significantly higher than the
reference signal, this typically indicates that the calibration data is no longer valid. In other
words, some factor has changed since the calibration was carried out, thus rendering it invalid.
Generally this is compensated for by the drift, but the greater the difference the longer this will
take. In order to speed up this correction, the positive threshold is used: if the positive threshold
is exceeded, the QT1110 (that is, all keys) is recalibrated.
31
9570I–AT42–03/10
PHYST: positive hysteresis. This setting provides a greater degree of control over the
implementation of the positive threshold recalibration. The positive hysteresis operates as a
“modifier” for the positive threshold. When a key signal is detected as being over the positive
threshold, the positive threshold is reduced by a factor corresponding to the positive hysteresis
so that the key will not go in and out of positive detection when the signal is on the borderline
between drift-compensation of a positive error or recalibration.
The settings for positive hysteresis are:
00 = No change to positive threshold
01 = 12.5 percent reduction in positive-detect threshold
10 = 25% reduction in positive-detect threshold
11 = 37.5% reduction in positive-detect threshold

When a key is touched, if the “Detect” outputs and “Key to LED” options are enabled (see

signal.
After the key touch is removed, the “Detect” output can be held at the “In-Detect” PWM signal for
a time before returning to the “Out of Detect” PWM signal. This allows a reasonable length of
time for an LED to be illuminated. The length of this time is controlled by the LED Detect Hold

KEY_n_NTHR: the negative threshold for key n (where n is 0–10).
The negative threshold determines how much the signal must fall (compared to the reference)
before a key is considered to be “In Detect”. This level will generally need to be tuned
individually for each key. To disable an individual key, set the threshold for that key to 0.
KEY_n_NHYST: the negative hysteresis applied to key n detection threshold (where n is
0 – 10).
Negative Hysteresis operates as a “modifier” for the negative threshold in order to provide a
greater degree of control over the detection of a “Touch”. When a key signal is first detected as
being under the negative threshold, the threshold is reduced by a factor corresponding to the
selected negative hysteresis. This means that the key will not go in and out of detection when
the signal is on the borderline between drift-compensation or touch detection.
The settings for negative hysteresis are:

KEY_n_NDRIFT: the negative drift compensation for key n (where n is 0–10).
When changing ambient conditions cause a change in the key signal, the QT1110 will
compensate through its drift functions. “Negative Drift” refers to the case where the signal for a
key is lower than the reference. Drift compensation occurs at a rate of 1 count per drift
compensation period. The entered number is a multiple of 320 ms.
Note that as a key touch, or an approaching touch, naturally causes a negative change in the
signal, negative drift should be carried out at a much slower rate than positive drift. Otherwise, a
slowly approaching finger will not cause a touch detection, as the falling signal could be
compensated through the negative drift mechanism.
Note:
Drift compensation timing is paused while Drift Hold is activated, and continues when
Drift Hold has timed out.
KEY_n_NRD: the negative recalibration delay for key n (where n is 0–10).
In order to avoid a situation where a key remains “stuck” in detect due to, for example, changing
environmental conditions, the “Negative Recalibration Delay” sets an upper limit on how long a
key can remain “touched”. When this time is exceeded, the QT1110 (that is, all keys) is
recalibrated, taking this key (and any others which are in detect) out of detection. This delay is
set in a multiple of 2560 ms.
Note:
A setting of “0” disables the NRD Timeout.

Appendix A.
CRC Calculation
If the use of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) during data transmission is enabled, the host
must generate a valid CRC so that this can be correctly compared to the corresponding CRC
generated by the QT1110. This appendix gives example C code to show how the CRC can be
generated by the host.
