SX9512/12B/13/13B
8 Capacitive Buttons, LEDs and
Proximity Controller with Analog Outputs
WIRELESS & SENSING PRODUCTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX9512/12B and SX9513/13B are 8–button
capacitive touch sensor controllers that include 8channels of LED drivers, a buzzer and analog
outputs designed ideally for TV applications. The
SX9512/12B offers proximity sensing.
The SX9512/12B and SX9513/13B operate
autonomously using a set of programmable button
sensitivities & thresholds, plus LED intensities &
breathing functions with no external I2C
communication required.
All devices feature three individual LED driver
engines for advanced LED lighting control. On the
SX9512/12B, a proximity detection illuminates all
LEDs to a pre-programmed intensity. Touching a
button will enable the corresponding LED to a preprogrammed mode such as intensity, blinking or
breathing.
Whenever the capacitive value changes from
either
a
proximity
detection
or
finger
touch/release, the controller informs the host
processor through the analog output(s) or an open
drain interrupt and an I2C register read.
The SX9512/12B and SX9513/13B do not require
additional external dynamic programming support
or setting of parameters and will adapt to humidity
and temperature changes to guarantee correct
touch/no touch information.
The B versions have a different pre-programmed
I2C address.

DATASHEET
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1
3.1.1
Introduction
General
The SX9512/12B/13/13B is intended to be used in applications which require capacitive sensors covered by
isolating overlay material and which may need to detect the proximity of a finger/hand though the air. The
SX9512/12B/13/13B measures the change of charge and converts that into digital values. The larger the charge
on the sensors, the larger the number of digital value will be. The charge to digital value conversion is done by the
SX9512/12B/13/13B Analog Sensor Interface (ASI).
The digital values are further processed by the SX9512/12B/13/13B and converted in a high level, easy to use
information for the user’s host.
The information between SX9512/12B/13/13B and the user’s host is passed through the I2C interface with an
additional interrupt signal indicating that the SX9512/12B/13/13B has new information. For buttons this
information is simply touched or released. The SX9512/12B/13/13B can operate without the I2C and interrupt by
using the analog output interface (SPO1, SPO2) with a changing voltage level to indicate the button touched.
3.1.2
Feedback
Visual feedback to the user is done by the button and LED pins BL[7...0]. The LED drivers will fade-in when a
finger touches a button or proximity is detected and fade-out when the button is released or finger goes out of
proximity. Fading intensity variations can be logarithmic or linear. Interval speed and initial and final light intensity
can be selected by the user.
Audible feedback can be obtained through the Special Purpose Output (SPO2) pin connected to a buzzer.
3.1.3
Analog Output Interface SPO1 and SPO2
The Analog Output Interface (AOI) is a Digital signal driven from GND to SVDD and controlled by a PWM. When
the digital signal on the SPO line is filtered with an RC low pass filter you produce a DC voltage, the level of which
depends on the buttons that has been touched. A host controller can then measure the voltage delivered by the
SPO output and determine which button is touched at any given time.
The AOI feature allows the SX9512/12B/13/13B device to directly replace legacy mechanical button controllers in
a quick and effortless manner. The SX9512/12B/13/13B supports up to two Analog Output Interfaces, on SPO1
and SPO2 respectively. The SX9512/12B/13/13B allows buttons to be mapped on either SPO1 or SPO2. The
button mapping as well as the mean voltage level that each button produces on an SPO output can be configured
by the user through a set of parameters described in later chapters.
3.1.4 Buzzer
The SX9512/12B/13/13B can drive a buzzer (on SPO2) to provide audible feedback on button touches. The
buzzer provides two phases, each of which can vary from 5ms to 30ms in length and can drive 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz
or 8KHz tones.
3.1.5 Configuration
The control and configuration registers can be read from and written to an infinite number of times. During the
development phase the parameters can be determined and fine tuned by the users and updated over the I2C.
Once the parameter set has been determined, the settings can be downloaded over the I2C by the host each time
the SX9512/12B/13/13B boots up or they can be stored in the Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile
Memory (NVM) on the SX9512/12B/13/13B. This allows the flexibility of dynamically setting the parameters at the
expense of I2C traffic or autonomous operation without host intervention.

After the parameters are written to the NVM, the registers can still be dynamically overwritten in whole or in part
by the host when desired.

Scan Period
PROX
BL7
BL4
BL3
BL2
BL1
BL0
The SX9512/12B/13/13B interleaves the sensing of the touch buttons with the driving of the LEDs. To keep the
LED intensities constant and flicker free the BL sensing is done in a round robin fashion with an LED drive period
between each of the BL sensing periods.
Figure 9 CapSense Scan Frame SX9512/12B/13/13B
To keep timing consistency the scan frame always cycles through all channels (BL0 to BL7) and Combined
Channel proximity even if a channel is disabled or a device does not have the proximity feature. This means that
the frame time is always the sum of nine CapSense measurement times and nine LED PWM times.
The SX9512/12B/13/13B can reduce it’s average power consumption by inserting fames that skip the CapSense
measurements but maintain the LED PWM timing.
The Scan period of the SX9512/12B/13/13B is the time between the measurement of a particular channel and its
next measurement. This period is the time for one CapSense frame plus the time for any skip frames and is the
key factor in determining system touch response timing.
Figure 10 shows the different SX9512/12B/13/13B periods over time.

DATASHEET
Operation modes
The SX9512/12B/13/13B has 2 operation modes, Active and Sleep. The main difference between the 2 modes is
found in the reaction time (corresponding to the scan period) and power consumption.
Active mode offers fast scan periods. The typical reaction time is 40ms. All enabled sensors are scanned and
information data is processed within this interval.
Sleep mode increases the scan period time which increases the reaction time to 200ms typical and at the same
time reduces the operating current.
The user can specify other scan periods for the Active and Sleep mode and decide for other compromises
between reaction time and power consumption.
In most applications the reaction time needs to be fast when fingers are present, but can be slow when no person
uses the application. In case the SX9512/12B/13/13B is not used during a scan frame it will go from Active mode
into Sleep mode and power will be saved. (when sleep mode is enabled)
To leave Sleep mode and enter Active mode this can be done by a touch on any button or the detection of
proximity.
The host can decide to force the operating mode by issuing commands over the I2C (using register 0x3A[3]) and
take fully control of the SX9512/12B/13/13B. The diagram in Figure 11 shows the available operation modes and
the possible transitions.

Sensors on the PCB
The capacitive sensors are relatively simple copper areas on the PCB connected to the eight SX9512/12B/13/13B
capacitive sensor input pins (BL0…BL7). The sensors are covered by isolating overlay material (typically
1mm...3mm). The area of a sensor is typically one square centimeter which corresponds to about the area of a
finger touching the overlay material. The area of a proximity sensor is usually significantly larger than the smaller
touch sensors.
The SX9512/12B and the SX9513/13B capacitive sensors can be setup as ON/OFF buttons for control
applications (see example Figure 12).

DATASHEET
The SX9512/12B offers 2 options for proximity detection. Depending on the PCB area, the proximity detection
distance can be optimized.
1) Individual Sensor Proximity
Single sensor proximity is done by replacing the shield area shown in Figure 10 with a connection to BL0 as
shown in Figure 24.
Figure 13 PCB top layer for proximity and touch buttons, SX9512/12B
2) Combined Channel Proximity
In Combined Channel Proximity the SX9512/12B will put some or all of the sensors in parallel and execute one
sensing cycle on this combined large sensor.

Button Information
The touch buttons have two simple states (see Figure 14): ON (touched by finger) and OFF (released and no
finger press).
Figure 14 Buttons
A finger is detected as soon as the digital values from the ASI reach a user-defined threshold plus a hysteresis.
A release is detected if the digital values from the ASI go below the threshold minus a hysteresis. The hysteresis
around the threshold avoids rapid touch and release signaling during transients.
Buttons can also be used to do proximity sensing. The principle of proximity sensing operation is exactly the same
as for touch buttons except that proximity sensing is done several centimeters above the overlay through the air.
ON state means that finger/hand is detected by the sensor and OFF state means the finger/hand is far from the
sensor and not detected.

Buzzer
The SX9512/12B/13/13B has the ability to drive a buzzer (on SPO2) to provide an audible indication that a button
has been touched. The buzzer is driven by a square wave signal for approximately 10ms (default). During both
the first phase (5ms) and the second phase (5ms) the signal’s frequency is default 1KHz.
The buzzer is activated only once during any button touch and is not repeated for long touches. The user can
choose to enable or disable the buzzer by configuration and define the idle level, frequencies and phase durations
(see §4.6).
Figure 16 Buzzer behavior
3.7
Analog Output Interface
The Analog Output Interface outputs a PWM signal with a varying duty cycle depending on which button is
touched. By filtering (with a simple RC filter) the PWM signal results in a DC voltage that is different for each
button touch. The host controller measures the DC voltage level and determines which buttons has been touched.
In the case of single button touches, each button produces its own voltage level as configured by the user.
Figure 17 show how the AOI will behave when the user touches and releases different buttons.
The AOI will switch between the AOI idle level and the level for each button.
Figure 17 AOI behavior
The PWM Blocks used in AOI modes are 6-bits based and are typically clocked at 2MHz.
Figure 18 shows the PWM definition of the AOI.

The AOI always reports one button per output channel. The AOI can be split over SPO1 and SPO2 (AOI-A, AOIB. The user can map any button to either AOI-A or AOI-B or both.
In most applications only one AOI pin will be selected. The two AOI pins allow the user to use a more coarse
detection circuit at the host. Assuming a 3.3V supply and 8 buttons on one single AOI then the AOI levels could
be separated by around 0.3…0.4V. In the case of using the two AOI pins, 4 buttons could be mapped on AOI-A
separated by around 0.8V (similar for 4 buttons on AOI-B) which is about double that of the case of a single AOI.
In the case of a single touch the button reporting is straight forward (as in Figure 17). If more than one button is
touched the reported depends on the selected button reporting mode parameter (see yyy). Three reporting modes
exist for the SX9512/12B/13/13B (All, Single and Strongest).
The All reporting mode is applicable only for the I2C reporting (AOI is not available). In All-mode all buttons that
are touched are reported in the I2C buttons status bits and on the LEDs. In the Single-mode a single touched
button will be reported on the AOI and the I2C. All touches that occur afterwards will not be reported as long as
the first touch sustains. Only when the first reported button is released will the SX9512/12B/13/13B report another
touch.
Figure 19 shows the Single-mode reporting in case of 2 touches occurring over time.
Figure 19 Single-mode reporting with 2 touches
At time t1 button0 is touched and reported on the AOI. At time t2 button1 is touched as well but not reported. At
time t3 the button0 is released and button1 will be reported immediately (or after one scan period at idle level). At
time t4 both buttons are released and the AOI reports the idle level.
The button with the lowest Cap pin index will be reported in case of a simultaneous touch (that means touches
occurring within the same scan period).
In the Strongest-mode the strongest touched button will be reported on the AOI and the I2C. All touches that
occur afterwards representing a weaker touch will not be reported. Only a touch which is stronger will be reported
by the SX9512/12B/13/13B.
Figure 20 shows the Strongest-mode reporting in case of 2 touches (with bt1 the strongest touch).

Figure 20 Strongest-mode reporting with 2 touches
At time t1 button0 is touched and reported on the AOI. At time t2 button1 is touched as well. As bt1 is the
strongest touch it will be reported on the AOI immediately (or after one scan period at idle level). At time t3 the
button0 is released while the AOI continues to report button1. At time t4 both buttons are released and the AOI
reports the idle level.
3.8
Analog Sensing Interface
The Analog Sensing Interface (ASI) induces a charge on the sensors and then converts the charge into a digital
value which is further digitally processed. The basic principle of the ASI will be explained in this section.
The ASI consists of a multiplexer selecting the sensor, analog switches, a reference voltage, a high-resolution
ADC converter and an offset compensation DAC (see Figure 21).
Figure 21 Analog Sensor Interface
The SX9512/12B offers the additional Combined Channel Proximity mode where all sensors are sensed in
parallel.

DATASHEET
Figure 22 Analog Sensor Interface for SX9512/12B, Combined Channel Prox Mode
To get the digital value representing the charge on a specific sensor the ASI will execute several steps. A voltage
will be induced on the sensor developing a charge relative to the absolute capacitance of the sensor. The charge
on a sensor cap (e.g BL0) will then be accumulated multiple times on the internal integration capacitor (Cint). This
results in an increasing voltage on Cint proportional to the capacitance on BL0.
At this stage the offset compensation DAC is enabled. The compensation DAC generates a voltage proportional
to an estimation of the external parasitic capacitance (the capacitance of the system without the calibration).
The difference between the DAC output and the charge on Cint is the desired signal. In the ideal case the
difference of charge will be converted to a zero digital value if no finger is present and the digital value becomes
high in case a finger is present.
The difference of charge on Cint and the DAC output will be transferred to the ADC.
After the charge transfer to the ADC the steps above will be repeated.
The SX9512/12B/13/13B allows setting the sensitivity for each sensor individually for applications which have a
variety of sensors sizes or different overlays or for fine-tuning performances. The optimal sensitivity depends
heavily on the final application. If the sensitivity is too low the digital value will not pass the thresholds and
touch/proximity detection will not be possible. In case the sensitivity is set too large, some power will be wasted
and false touch/proximity information may be output (i.e. for touch buttons => finger not touching yet, for proximity
sensors => finger/hand not close enough).
The digital values from the ASI will then be handled by the digital processing.
The ASI will shut down and wait until new sensing period will start.

Figure 23 Processing
The raw data is processed through a programmable low pass filter to create useful data (data with fast
environmental noise suppressed). The useful data is processed through a second programmable low pass filter
(with a longer time constant) to create average data. The average data tracks along with the slow environmental
changes and is subtracted from the useful data to create the diff data. The diff data represents any fast
capacitance changes such as a touch or proximity event.
3.8.2 Offset Compensation
The parasitic capacitance at the BL pins is defined as the intrinsic capacitance of the integrated circuit, the PCB
traces, ground coupling and the sensor planes. This parasitic capacitance is relatively large (tens of pF) and will
also vary slowly over time due to environmental changes.
A finger touch is in the order of one pF and its effect typically occurs much faster than the environmental changes.
The ASI has the difficult task of detecting a small, fast changing capacitance that is riding on a large, slow varying
capacitance. This would require a very precise, high resolution ADC and complicated, power consuming, digital
processing.
The SX9512/12B/13/13B features a 16 bit DAC which compensates for the large, slow varying capacitance
already in front of the ADC. In other words the ADC converts only the desired small signal. In the ideal world the
ADC will put out a zero digital value even if the external capacitance is as high as 40pF.
At each power-up of the SX9512/12B/13/13B the Compensation Values are estimated by the digital processing
algorithms. The algorithm will adjust the compensation values such that a near-zero value will be generated by the
ADC. Once the correct compensation values are found these will be stored and used to compensate each BL pin.
If the SX9512/12B/13/13B is shut down the compensation values will be lost. At a next power-up the procedure
starts all over again. This assures that the SX9512/12B/13/13B will operate under any condition.
However if temperature changes this will influence the external capacitance. The ADC digital values will drift then
slowly around zero values basically because of the mismatch of the compensation circuitry and the external
capacitance.
In case the average value of the digital values become higher than the positive calibration threshold (configurable
by user) or lower than the negative threshold (configurable by user) then the SX9512/12B/13/13B will initiate a
compensation procedure and find a new set of compensation values.
The host can initiate a compensation procedure by using the I2C interface. This is required after the host changes
the sensitivity of sensors.

DATASHEET
Configuration
Figure 24 shows the building Blocks used for configuring the SX9512/12B/13/13B.
Figure 24 Configuration
During development of a touch system the register settings for the SX9512/12B/13/13B are adjusted until the user
is satisfied with the system operation. When the adjustments are finalized contents of the registers can be stored
in the Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The NVM contains all those parameters
that are defined and stable for the application. Examples are the number of sensors enabled, sensitivity, active
and Sleep scan period. The details of these parameters are described in the next chapters.
At power up or reset the SX9512/12B/13/13B copies the settings from the NVM into the registers.
3.10 Clock Circuitry
The SX9512/12B/13/13B has its own internal clock generation circuitry that does not require any external
components. The clock circuitry is optimized for low power operation.
3.11 I2C interface
The host will interface with the SX9512/12B/13/13B through the I2C bus and the analog output interface.
The I2C of the SX9512/12B/13/13B consists of 95 registers. Some of these I2C registers are used to read the
status and information of the buttons. Other I2C registers allow the host to take control of the
SX9512/12B/13/13B.
The I2C slave implemented on the SX9512/12B/13/13B is compliant with the standard (100kb/s) and fast mode
(400kb/s)
The default SX9512/12B/13/13B I2C address equals 0b010 1011.
3.12 Interrupt
The NIRQ mode of SPO2 has two main functions, the power up sequence and maskable interrupts (detailed
below).
3.12.1 Power up
During power up the NIRQ is kept low (if SPO2 is configured for NIRQ in the NVM). Once the power up sequence
is terminated the NIRQ is cleared autonomously. The SX9512/12B/13/13B is then ready for operation. The AOI
levels are updated at the latest one scan period after the rising edge of NIRQ.

DATASHEET
Figure 25 Power Up vs. NIRQ
During the power on period the SX9512/12B/13/13B stabilizes the internal regulators, RC clocks and the firmware
initializes all registers.
During the power up the SX9512/12B/13/13B is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden. The value
of NIRQ before power up depends on the NIRQ pull up resistor to the SVDD supply voltage.
3.12.2 NIRQ Assertion
When the NIRQ function is enabled for SPO2 then NIRQ is updated in Active or Sleep mode once every scan
period.
The NIRQ will be asserted at the following events:
• if a Button event occurred (touch or release if enabled)
• a proximity even occurred (prox or loss of prox (SX9512/12B only))
• once compensation procedure is completed either through automatic trigger or via host request
• during reset (power up, hardware NRST, software reset)
3.12.3 Clearing
The clearing of the NIRQ is done as soon as the host performs a read to any of the SX9512/12B/13/13B I2C
registers.
3.12.4 Example
A typical example of the assertion and clearing of the NIRQ and the I2C communication is shown in Figure 26.

DATASHEET
When a button is touched the SX9512/12B/13/13B will assert the interrupt (1). The host will read the
SX9512/12B/13/13B status information over the I2C (2) and this clears the interrupt.
If the finger releases the button the interrupt will be asserted (3), the host reads the status (4) which clears the
interrupt.
In case the host will not react to an interrupt then this will result in a missing touch.
3.13 Reset
The reset can be performed by 3 sources:
- power up,
- NRST pin,
- software reset.
3.13.1 Power up
During power up the NIRQ is kept low (if SPO2 is configured for NIRQ in the NVM). Once the power up sequence
is terminated the NIRQ is cleared autonomously. The SX9512/12B/13/13B is then ready for operation. The AOI
levels are updated at the latest one scan period after the rising edge of NIRQ.
Figure 27 Power Up vs. NIRQ
During the power on period the SX9512/12B/13/13B stabilizes the internal regulators, RC clocks and the firmware
initializes all registers.
During the power up the SX9512/12B/13/13B is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden.
As soon as the NIRQ rises the SX9512/12B/13/13B will be ready for I2C communication.
3.13.2 NRST
When NRST is driven low the SX9512/12B/13/13B will reset and start the power up sequence as soon as NRST
is driven high or pulled high.
In case the user does not require a hardware reset control pin then the NRST pin can be connected to SVDD.

Table 7 Intensity index vs. PWM pulse width (normal polarity)
Recommended/default settings are inverted polarity (to take advantage from high sink current capability) and
logarithmic mode (due to the non-linear response of the human eye).
3.14.2 LED Triple Reporting
The button information touch and release can be reported on the LEDs in dual mode (ON and OFF).
The proximity information can be shown using the dual mode by attributing a dedicated LED to the proximity
sensor. The LED will show then proximity detected or no proximity detected. The fading principles are equal to the
fading of sensors defined as buttons as described in the previous sections.
In triple mode proximity is reported on all LEDs by an intermediate LED intensity.

Figure 34 LEDs in triple reporting mode proximity
Figure 34 shows an example of proximity detection and the reporting on LEDs. As soon as proximity is detected
all LEDs (2 LEDs are shown for simplicity) will fade in and stop at the proximity intensity level. In case proximity is
not detected anymore then the LEDs remain at the proximity intensity for a configurable time and then the fading
out will start.
Figure 35 LEDs in triple reporting mode proximity and touch
Figure 35 shows an example of proximity detection followed by a rapid touch on the sensor sd1.
The LEDs d1 and d2 will fade in as soon as proximity is detected (using the Inc_Prox parameter).
As soon as the finger touches the sensor sd1 the fading in of d1 will go to the ON intensity (using the touch
increment parameter).
The LED d2 remains at the proximity intensity level as sensors sd2 is not touched.
If the finger is removed rapidly the fading out of d1 will first use the touch decrement parameter to the proximity
intensity level. If the finger leaves the proximity region d1 and 2 will fade out simultaneously using the proximity
delay and decrement parameters.

DETAILED CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTIONS
Introduction
The SX9512/12B/13/13B configuration parameters are taken from the NVM and loaded into the registers at
Power-Up or upon reset.
The registers are split by functionality into configuration sections:
• General section: operating modes,
• Capacitive Sensors section: related to lower level capacitive sensing,
• LED
• Special Purpose Outputs
• Buzzer
• System (Reserved)
The address space is divided up into areas that are (can be) stored in NVM and areas that are dynamic and not
stored.

Bit 7 = BL7 … Bit 0 = BL0
0 : No touch detected
1 : Touch detected
The Touch Status register will indicate when a touch occurs on one of the BL channels. A touch is indicated when
a channels DiffData value goes at least the Hyst value above its threshold level for debounce number of
consecutive measurement cycles. A touch is lost when a channels DiffData value goes at least Hyst value below
it’s threshold for debounce number of measurement cycles. This is a dynamic read only regester that is not stored
in NVM.
Example: BL2 is set to a threshold of 400 (0x21 = 0x19), a Hyst of 8 (0x37 [7:5] = 3’b001), a touch debounce of 0
(0x33 [3:2] = 2’b00) and a release debounce of 2 (0x33 [1:0] = 2’b01).
A touch will be indicated the first measurement cycle that the DiffData goes above 408 and the touch will be lost
when the DiffData value goes below 392 on two successive measurement cycles.

111 : User3 area is Programmed and in use.
The NVM Area field indicates which of the user NVM areas are currently programmed and active (1, 2 or 3). The
NVM Read bit gives the ability to manually request that the contents of the NVM be transferred to the registers
and NVM Burn field gives the ability to burn the current registers to the next available NVM area.
Normally, the transfer of data from the NVM to the registers is done automatically on power up and upon a reset
but occasionally a user might want to force a read manually.
Registers 0x07 through 0x62 are stored to NVM and loaded from NVM.
After writing 0xA0 (ie NVM burn), wait for at least 500ms and then power off-on the IC for changes to be effective.
Caution, there are only three user areas and attempts to burn values beyond user area 3 will be ignored.

0 : Off
1 : On
Reserved, set to 0000
The SPO2 Config field will specify the functionality of the SPO pin. When selected as NIRQ, the open drain output
will go low whenever a non-masked Irq occurs and the NIRQ will go back high after a register 0x00 is read over
the I2C. When selected as Buzzer, the SPO2 pin will drive a 2 phase 2 frequency signal onto an external buzzer
for each specified event (see Buzzer section). When selected as SPO2, pin operates as an analog output similar
to SPO1 (see SPO section). If selected as TV power state, the pin is driven from the system PMIC with a high
(SPO2 = SVDD) indicating that the system power is on and a low (SPO2 = GND) when the system power is off.
The TV Power State bit reads back the current state of SPO2 if SPO2 is selected for TV power state, otherwise
the system should write to this bit to indicate the current system power state. The SX9512/12B/13/13B needs to
know the current state in able to correctly process some of the LED modes for the Power Button (see LED
modes).

LED PWM Frequency

LEDPWMfreq = 2MHz / n
The LED PWM frequency is derived from the 2MHz oscillator and is the primary method for controlling the BL7
through BL0 frame scanning rate as well as impacting the maximum brightness achievable on each LED and
impacting the smoothness of the LED illumination (flicker prevention).
As displayed in Figure 6, the CapSense measurements and LED PWM drive is time multiplexed. The CapSense
measurement time is nominally 648us and the LED PWM time is 255 LED clocks long. The LED refresh frequency
must be above 50/60Hz to ensure that there is not a noticeable flicker on the LEDs. So we have:
LED max brightness = 255/(648us * LEDPwmFreq + 255)
LED refresh frequency = 1 / (648us + 255/LEDPwmFreq)

Function
Offset compensation DAC code.
Read : Read the current value from
the last compensation for the
selected channel
Write : Manually set the
compensation DAC for the selected
channel.
When written, the internal DAC
code is updated after the write of
the LSB reg. MSB and LSB regs
should be written in sequence.

I2C INTERFACE
The I2C implemented on the SX9512/12B/13/13B is compliant with:
- standard (100kb/s), fast mode (400kb/s)
- slave mode
- 7 bit address : SX9512/13->0x2B ; SX9512B/13B ->0x2D.
The host can use the I2C to read and write data at any time.
Three types of registers are considered:
- status (read). These registers give information about the status of the capacitive buttons, GPIs, operation modes
etc…
- control (read/write). These registers control the soft reset, operating modes, GPIOs and offset compensation.
- REGISTERS gateway (read/write). These registers are used for the communication between host and the
REGISTERS. The REGISTERS gateway communication is done typically at power up and is not supposed to be
changed when the application is running. The REGISTERS needs to be re-stored each time the
SX9512/12B/13/13B is powered down.
The REGISTERS can be stored permanently in the NVM memory of the SX9512/12B/13/13B. The REGISTERS
gateway communication over the I2C at power up is then not required.
The I2C will be able to read and write from a start address and then perform read or writes sequentially, and the
address increments automatically.
The supported I2C access formats are described in the next sections.
5.1
I2C Write
The format of the I2C write is given in Figure 36.
After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The
SX9512/12B/13/13B then acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the master sends an 8 bit Data Byte
consisting of the SX9512/12B/13/13B Register Address (RA). The slave acknowledges [A] and the master sends
the appropriate 8 bit Data Byte (WD0). Again the slave acknowledges [A]. In case the master needs to write more
data, a succeeding 8 bit Data Byte will follow (WD1), acknowledged by the slave [A]. This sequence will be
repeated until the master terminates the transfer with the Stop condition [P].
Figure 36 I2C write
The register address is incremented automatically when successive register data (WD1...WDn) is supplied by the
master.

DATASHEET
I2C read
The format of the I2C read is given in Figure 37.
After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The
SX9512/12B/13/13B then acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data
consisting of the Register Address (RA). The slave acknowledges [A] and the master sends the Repeated Start
Condition [Sr]. Once again, the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘1’) indicating a Read.
The SX9512/12B/13/13B responds with acknowledge [A] and the Read Data byte (RD0). If the master needs to
read more data it will acknowledge [A] and the SX9512/12B/13/13B will send the next read byte (RD1). This
sequence can be repeated until the master terminates with a NACK [N] followed by a stop [P].
