Rev. 01 — 16 October 2009
Product data sheet
1. General description
The integrated circuit PCF8883 is a capacitive proximity switch that uses a patented
(EDISEN) digital method to detect a change in capacitance on a remote sensing plate.
Changes in the static capacitance (as opposed to dynamic capacitance changes) are
automatically compensated using continuous auto-calibration. Remote sensing plates
(e.g. conductive foil) can be connected directly to the IC1 or remotely using a coaxial
cable.

8. Functional description
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the functional principle of the PCF8883. The discharge time
(tdch) of a chip-internal RC timing circuit, to which the external sensing plate is connected
via pin IN, is compared to the discharge time (tdch(ref)) of a second chip-internal reference
RC timing circuit. Both RC timing circuits are periodically charged from VDD(INTREGD) via
identical switches and then discharged via a resistor to ground (VSS). Both switches are
synchronized.

Functional diagram of the sensor logic
The charge-discharge cycle is governed by the sampling rate (fs). If the voltage of one of
the RC timing circuits falls below the internal reference voltage Vref, the respective
comparator output will become LOW. The logic following the comparators determines
which comparator switches first. If the upper (reference) comparator switches then a pulse
is given on CUP. If the lower (input) comparator switches first then a pulse is given on
CDN (see Figure 3).
The pulses control the charge on the external capacitor CCPC on pin CPC. Every time a
pulse is given on CUP, capacitor CCPC is charged from VDD(INTREGD) for a fixed time
causing the voltage on CCPC to rise. Likewise when a pulse occurs on CDN, capacitor
CCPC is connected to a current sink to ground for a fixed time causing the voltage on CCPC
to fall.

NXP Semiconductors
Capacitive proximity switch with auto-calibration
If the capacitance on pin IN increases, the discharge time tdch increases too. Therefore it
will take longer for the voltage on the corresponding comparator to drop below Vref. Only
once this happens, the comparator output will become LOW and this results in a pulse on
CDN discharging the external capacitor CCPC slightly. Thus most pulses will now be given
by CUP. Without further action, capacitor CCPC would then fully charge.
However, a chip-internal automatic calibration mechanism that is based on a voltage
controlled sink current (Isink) connected to pin IN attempts to equalize the discharge time
tdch with the internal reference discharge time tdch(ref). The current source is controlled by
the voltage on CCPC which causes the capacitance on pin IN to be discharged more
quickly in the case that the voltage on CCPC is rising, thereby compensating for the
increase in capacitance on input pin IN. This arrangement constitutes a closed-loop
control system that constantly attempts to equalize the discharge time tdch with tdch(ref).
This allows compensating for slow changes in capacitance on input pin IN. Fast changes
due to an approaching hand for example will not be compensated. In the equilibrium state
the discharge times are equal and the pulses alternate between CUP and CDN.
From this also follows that an increase in capacitor value CCPC results in a smaller voltage
change per pulse CUP or CDN. Thus the compensation due to internal current sink
source Isink is slower and therefore the sensitivity of the sensor will increase. Likewise a
decrease in capacitor CCPC will result in a lower sensitivity. (For further information see
Section 13.)

Capacitive proximity switch with auto-calibration
The counter, following the sensor logic depicted in Figure 3, counts the pulses of CUP or
CDN respectively. The counter is reset every time the pulse sequence changes from CUP
to CDN or vice versa. Pin OUT will only be activated when a sufficient number of
consecutive CUP or CDN pulses occur. Low level interference or slow changes in the
input capacitance do not cause the output to switch.
Various measures, such as asymmetrical charge and discharge steps, are taken to
ensure that the output switches off correctly. A special start-up circuit ensures that the
device reaches equilibrium quickly when the supply is attached.
Pin OUT is an open-drain output capable of pulling an external load Rext (at maximum
current of 20 mA) up to VDD. The load resistor must be dimensioned appropriately, taking
the maximum expected VDD voltage into account. The output will be automatically
deactivated (short circuit protection) for loads in excess of 30 mA. Pin OUT can also drive
a CMOS input without connection of the external load.
A small internal 150 nA current sink Isink enables a full voltage swing to take place on OUT,
even if no load resistor is connected. This is useful for driving purely capacitive CMOS
inputs. The falling slope can be fairly slow in this mode, depending on load capacitance.
The sampling rate (fs) corresponds to half of the frequency used in the RC timing circuit.
The sampling rate can be adjusted within a specified range by selecting the value of
CCLIN. The oscillator frequency is internally modulated by 4 % using a pseudo random
signal. This prevents interference caused by local AC-fields.
8.1 Output switching modes
The output switching behavior can be selected using pin TYPE (see Figure 5)
• Push-button (TYPE connected to VSS): The output OUT is active as long as the
capacitive event2 lasts.
• Toggle (TYPE connected to VDD(INTREGD)): The output OUT is activated by the first
capacitive event and deactivated by a following capacitive event.
• Pulse (CTYPE connected between TYPE and VSS): The output OUT is activated for a
defined time at each capacitive event. The pulse duration is determined by the value
of CTYPE and is approximately 2.5 ms/nF.
A typical value for CTYPE is 4.7 nF which results in an output pulse duration of about
10 ms. The maximum value of CTYPE is 470 nF which results in a pulse duration of about
1 s. Capacitive events are ignored that occur during the time the output is active.
Figure 5 illustrates the switching behavior for the output switching modes. Additionally the
graph illustrates, that short term disturbances on the sensor are suppressed by the circuit.
2.
A capacitive event is a dynamic increase of capacitance at the sensor input pin IN.

8.2 Voltage regulator
The PCF8883 implements a chip-internal voltage regulator supplied by pin VDD that
provides an internal supply (VDD(INTREGD)), limited to a maximum of 4.6 V. The lock-in
voltage Vlockin on VDD is typically 4.0 V. The regulated supply is available at pin
VDD(INTREGD) and can be used to supply power to external electronic components (at a
maximum current of 0.5 mA). Figure 4 shows the relationship between VDD and
VDD(INTREGD).

CSENS = sensing plate capacitance.
The coaxial cable is optional.
Fig 15. Typical application
The sampling rate is determined by the capacitance CCLIN on pin CLIN. A higher sampling
rate reduces the reaction time and increases the current consumption.
The sensing plate capacitance CSENS may consist of a small metal area, for example
behind an isolating layer. The sensing plate can be connected to a coaxial cable (CCABLE)
which in turn is connected to the input pin IN. Alternatively, the sensing plate can be
directly connected to the input pin IN. An internal low pass filter is used to reduce RF
interference. An additional low pass filter consisting of a resistor RF and capacitor CF can
be added to the input to further improve RF immunity as required. For good performance,
the total amount of capacitance on the input (CSENS + CCABLE + CF) should be in the
proper range, the optimum point being around 30 pF. These conditions allow the control
loop to adapt to the static capacitance on CSENS and to compensate for slow changes in
the sensing plate capacitance. A higher capacitive input loading is possible provided that
an additional discharge resistor RC is placed as shown in Figure 15. Resistor RC simply
reduces the discharge time such that the internal timing requirements are fulfilled.

NXP Semiconductors
Capacitive proximity switch with auto-calibration
The sensitivity of the sensor can be influenced by the sensing plate area and capacitor
CCPC. The sensitivity is significantly reduced when CCPC is reduced. When maximum
sensitivity is desired CCPC can be increased, but this also increases sensitivity to
interference. Pin CPC has high-impedance and is sensitive to leakage currents. Therefore
CCPC should be a high quality foil or ceramic capacitor, for example an X7R type.
For the choice of proper component values for a given application, the component
specifications in Table 5 and Table 6 must be followed.

15. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
15.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
15.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages

15.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities
15.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 18) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 7 and 8

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 18.
