Chapter 2 Delta from CAP1114 to CAP1214

Summary
1. Updated Product ID to 5Ah.
2. Changed pin 24 from N/C to FEEDBACK.
3. Increased RESET Pin release to fully active operation from 400ms typical and 500ms max to
675ms typical and 775ms max (see Table 3.2, "Electrical Specifications").
4. Reduced Time to First Conversion from 400ms typical and 500ms max to 100ms typical and 200ms
max (see Table 3.2, "Electrical Specifications").
5. Added Time to First Valid Detection 675ms typical and 775ms max (see Table 3.2, "Electrical
Specifications").
6. Added Power Supply Rejection ±310 counts / V typical (see Table 3.2, "Electrical Specifications").
7. Added bits 5 and 4 to the Queue Control register (1Eh - see Section 6.12, "Queue Control
Register"). These bits control whether the accumulation of intermediate data and the consecutive
negative delta counts counter are cleared when the noise status bit is set.
8. Added the following registers to implement the new Feedback feature, which enables the CAP1214
to activate an external transducer to send end user feedback in the form of sound or vibration when
a touch is detected: Feedback Configuration (62h - see Section 6.40, "Feedback Configuration
Register"), Feedback Channel Configuration (63h and 64h - see Section 6.41, "Feedback Channel
Configuration Registers"), and Feedback One-Shot (65h - see Section 6.42, "Feedback One-Shot
Register").
9. Added LED11_CFG control as bit 5 of the Configuration 2 register (40h - see Section 6.33,
"Configuration 2 Register"). This controls whether frequency of the LED11 driver is set at ~2000Hz
or is configurable.
10. Added the LED11 Configuration register (8Ah) to determine base frequency and step settings for
LED11.
11. Corrected anomaly where rise rate overrode any non-zero fall rate (Section 6.58, "LED Direct
Ramp Rates Register").
12. Corrected anomaly where Pulse 1 behavior failed on alternate presses when a sensor was linked
to an LED and the Pulse 1 start trigger was set to “release”.
13. Corrected anomaly where the delta counts were not cleared when the RF Detector circuit detected
excessive RF signal on a capacitive sensor input.
14. Pulse 2 behavior modified. The number of pulses after release is the programmed number, not the
programmed number minus one (see Section 6.53, "LED Pulse 2 Period Register").
15. Breathe behavior modified. A breathe off delay control was added to the LED Off Delay Register
(see Section 6.59, "LED Off Delay Register") so the LED can be configured to remain inactive
between breathes.
16. When the device enters the Deep Sleep state, the Slider Position / Volumetric Data Register (06h)
is not cleared, if the register is set to represent volumetric data. If set to represent position
information, the register is cleared.
17. Updated circuitry to improve power supply rejection.
18. Renamed BLK_DIG_NOISE bit to DIS_DIG_NOISE, and renamed BLK_ANA_NOISE bit to
DIS_ANA_NOISE (see Section 6.14, "Configuration Register"). Renamed BLK_RF_NOISE bit to
DIS_RF_NOISE (see Section 6.33, "Configuration 2 Register").

Chapter 4 Communications
The CAP1214 communicates via the SMBus or I2C communications protocols.
APPLICATION NOTE: Upon power up, the CAP1214 will not respond to any SMBus communications until “time to
communications” has elapsed (see Table 3.2, "Electrical Specifications"). After this time, full
functionality is available.
4.1
System Management Bus Protocol
The CAP1214 communicates with a host controller, such as an SMSC SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 4.1. Stretching of the SMCLK signal is supported;
however, the CAP1214 will not stretch the clock signal.

4.1.1
SMBus Start Bit
The SMBus Start bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘1’ state to a logic
‘0’ state while the SMBus Clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state.
4.1.2
SMBus Address and RD / WR Bit
The SMBus Address Byte consists of the 7-bit client address followed by the RD / WR indicator bit. If
this RD / WR bit is a logic ‘0’, the SMBus Host is writing data to the client device. If this RD / WR bit
is a logic ‘1’, the SMBus Host is reading data from the client device.
The CAP1214 responds to the slave address 0101_000xb. Multiple addressing options are available.
For more information contact SMSC.
4.1.3
SMBus Data Bytes
All SMBus Data bytes are sent most significant bit first and composed of 8-bits of information.
Revision 1.0 (08-30-10)
18
DATASHEET
SMSC CAP1214
Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
4.1.4
SMBus ACK and NACK Bits
The SMBus client will acknowledge all data bytes that it receives. This is done by the client device
pulling the SMBus Data line low after the 8th bit of each byte that is transmitted. This applies to both
the Write Byte and Block Write protocols.
The Host will NACK (not acknowledge) the last data byte to be received from the client by holding the
SMBus data line high after the 8th data bit has been sent. For the Block Read protocol, the Host will
ACK each data byte that it receives except the last data byte.
4.1.5
SMBus Stop Bit
The SMBus Stop bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘0’ state to a logic
‘1’ state while the SMBus clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the CAP1214 detects an SMBus Stop
bit, and it has been communicating with the SMBus protocol, it will reset its client interface and prepare
to receive further communications.
4.1.6
SMBus Time-out
The CAP1214 includes an SMBus time-out feature. Following a 30ms period of inactivity on the SMBus
where the SMCLK pin is held low, the device will time-out and reset the SMBus interface.
The time-out function defaults to disabled. It can be enabled by setting the TIMEOUT bit in the
Configuration register (see Section 6.14).
4.1.7
SMBus and I2C Compliance
The major differences between SMBus and I2C devices are highlighted here. For complete compliance
information, refer to the SMBus 2.0 specification.
1. Minimum frequency for SMBus communications is 10kHz. There is no minimum frequency for I2C.
2. For SMBus communications, the client protocol will reset if the clock is held low longer than 30ms.
3. For SMBus communications, the client protocol will reset if both the clock and the data line are
high for longer than 400us (idle condition).
4. I2C devices do not support the Alert Response Address functionality (which is optional for SMBus).
5. I2C devices support block read and write differently. I2C protocol allows for unlimited number of
bytes to be sent in either direction. The SMBus protocol requires that an additional data byte
indicating number of bytes to read / write is transmitted.
Note: The CAP1214 supports the I2C block read and write only.
4.2
SMBus Protocols
The CAP1214 is SMBus 2.0 compatible and supports Send Byte, Read Byte, Block Read, Receive
Byte as valid protocols as shown below. The CAP1214 also supports the I2C block read and block
write protocols.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 4.1.

Chapter 5 Product Description
The CAP1214 is a multiple channel Capacitive Touch sensor and LED Driver.
The CAP1214 has up to 14 individual Capacitive Touch sensor inputs with programmable sensitivity
for use in touch button and slider switch applications. Each sensor input includes automatic
recalibration.
The CAP1214 also has eleven (11) open drain LED drivers that offer full-on / off, variable rate
breathing, and dimness controls. Eight (8) of these LEDs can double as GPIOs and support open-drain
or push-pull operation. Additionally, LEDs 1-7 may be optionally linked to Buttons 1-7 so that when a
touch is detected, the LED is actuated.
The device communicates with a host controller using SMBus. The host controller may poll the device
for updated information at any time or it may configure the device to flag an interrupt whenever a press
is detected on any sensor.
Each sensor input is polled by the device approximately every 35 ms. The host may also initiate a
recalibration routine for one or more sensor inputs or set up times and conditions so that the device
automatically invokes the re-calibration routine.
The CAP1214 contains multiple power states including several low power operating states. In addition,
it contains a user driven RESET pin.
A typical system diagram is shown in Figure 5.1.

Power States
The CAP1214 has four operating states depending on the status of the SLEEP, DEACT, and DSLEEP
bits (see Section 6.1). They are described below and summarized in Table 5.1. When the device
transitions between power states, previously detected touches (for deactivated channels) are cleared
and the status bits reset.

Revision 1.0 (08-30-10)
Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
1. Fully Active - The device is monitoring all active Capacitive Sensor channels and driving all LED
channels as defined.
2. Sleep - The device is monitoring a limited number of Capacitive Sensor channels (default 0).
Interrupts will still be generated based on the active channels. The device will still respond to
SMBus commands normally and can be returned to the Fully Active state by clearing the SLEEP
bit. The LED11 channel is controlled via the PWR_LED control (see Section 6.1). All other LEDs
will not be affected.
3. Deep Sleep - The device is not monitoring any Capacitive Sensor channels. The LED11 channel
is controlled via the PWR_LED control (see Section 6.1). All other LEDs will be driven to their
programmed non-actuated state and no PWM operations will be done.
When the device enters the Deep Sleep state, it will release control to the ALERT pin and will
change the direction of the ALERT pin (i.e. the device will monitor the ALERT pin instead of driving
it).
APPLICATION NOTE: When the device enters the Deep Sleep state, the Slider Position / Volumetric Data Register
(06h) is cleared, if the register is set to represent position data.
The device has two methods to exit the Deep Sleep state. They are:
a. The ALERT pin is driven to its active state.
b. Any SMBus communications are directed at the device.
When the device leaves the Deep Sleep state, it automatically returns to its previously defined state
and clears the DSLEEP bit.
4. Inactive - The device is not monitoring any Capacitive Sensor channels. The device will still
respond to SMBus commands normally and can be returned to Fully Active state by clearing the
DEACT bit. All LEDs will have PWM controls suspended so they should be disabled prior to
entering this state. If these LEDs are not disabled, the system will show excess current draw from
these LEDs.

The priority of power control signals is:
1. DSLEEP - when set, will override DEACT and disable all LEDs except LED11.
2. DEACT - when set, will override the SLEEP controls. It will disable sensor measurement and all
LEDs.
3. SLEEP - when set, will enable Sleep state.

SMSC CAP1214

5.2
RESET Pin
The RESET pin is an active high reset that is driven from an external source. The pin contains an
internal delay timer (tRST_FILT) that will block errant glitches on the RESET pin. The RESET pin must
be driven high or low longer than this time before the CAP1214 will react to the pin state.
While the RESET pin is held high, all the internal blocks will be held in reset including the SMBus. All
configuration settings will be reset to default states and all readings will be cleared. Furthermore, the
device will be held in Deep Sleep that can only be removed by driving the RESET pin low.
Once the RESET pin is pulled low, the CAP1214 will begin operation as if a power-on-reset had
occurred. When this happens, the RESET bit will be set and an interrupt will be generated.
5.3
LED Drivers
The CAP1214 contains eleven (11) LED Drivers. Each LED Driver is controlled independently of the
others. LED drivers 1 - 8 can be configured to operate with either push-pull or open-drain drive (see
Section 6.44, "LED / GPIO Output Type Register") and may also be configured to operate as GPIOs
(see Section 6.43, "LED / GPIO Direction Register"). LED drivers 9 - 11 will only operate as open-drain
drivers.
LEDs 1 - 7 and 9 and 10 may be linked to the corresponding Capacitive Touch Sensor input (see
Section 6.50, "Sensor LED Linking Register") so they can be actuated by a touch. When not linked to
sensor inputs, LEDs can be actuated by the host (see Section 6.46, "LED Output Control Registers").
When actuated, the LED drivers operate using one of the following behaviors (see Section 6.51, "LED
Behavior Registers"):
1. Direct - The LED is configured to be on or off when the corresponding input stimulus is on or off
(or inverted). The brightness of the LED can be programmed from full off to full on (default).
Additionally, the LED contains controls to individually configure ramping on, off, and turn-off delay.
2. Pulse 1 - The LED is configured to “Pulse” (transition ON-OFF-ON) a programmable number of
times with programmable rate and min / max brightness. The LED can be configured to be actuated
upon a touch detection (or when hosts sets drive bit) or release detection (or when host clears
drive bit) (see Section 6.52, "LED Pulse 1 Period Register").
3. Pulse 2 - The LED is configured to “Pulse” while actuated and then “Pulse” a programmable
number of times with programmable rate and min / max brightness when the sensor is released.
4. Breathe - The LED is configured to transition ON-OFF-ON (i.e. to “Breathe”) continuously (or with
a programmed off delay) with a programmable rate and min / max brightness.
When an LED is not linked to a sensor and is actuated by the host, there’s an option to assert the
ALERT pin when the LED has completed its behavior (see Section 6.55, "LED Configuration Register").
LED11 operates differently than the other LED outputs in several ways. It is configured to drive up to
two external LED channels simultaneously. It is not automatically disabled during the Sleep or Deep
Sleep states of operation (see Section 6.1, "Main Status Control Register"). It allows for different
behaviors when the device is in Fully Active state versus when the device is in Sleep or Deep Sleep
state. It can drive at a different PWM frequency.
5.3.1
Linking LEDs to Capacitive Touch Sensors
LEDs 1 - 7 can be optionally linked to Capacitive Touch Sensors 1-7 so that when the sensor detects
a button press, the corresponding LED will be actuated at one of the programmed responses.
LEDs 9 and 10 may be optionally linked to the Grouped Sensors to indicate a slide / tap / press and
hold in the “Up” or “Down” directions.
SMSC CAP1214

DATASHEET
Revision 1.0 (08-30-10)
Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
5.4
Capacitive Touch Sensing
The CAP1214 contains 14 independent Capacitive Touch Sensor inputs. Each sensor input detects a
change of capacitance due to a touch. Additionally, each sensor can be configured to be automatically
and routinely re-calibrated.
5.4.1
Multiple Button Presses
If multiple sensor buttons (with a programmable threshold - see Section 6.23) are simultaneously
detected, only the first N buttons that are detected are flagged. All other buttons are ignored.
Furthermore, the device remembers which buttons were legitimate so new touches are not detected
so long as N buttons are pressed.
Likewise, if too many (based on the programmed threshold - see Section 6.23) grouped sensor
presses are detected, the device will block all press detections on the grouped buttons and cancel any
current presses as if the sensor had been released.
5.4.2
Lid Closure
To detect lid closure or other similar events, lid closure sensor thresholds can be set. A Lid Closure
Event can be flagged based on either a minimum number of sensors or on specific sensors
simultaneously exceeding the lid closure threshold. An interrupt can also be generated. During a Lid
Closure Event, all touches are blocked.
5.4.3
Grouped Sensors (CS8 - CS14)
Capacitive Touch Sensors 8 through 14 may be grouped as a single entity (which is the default state).
Each sensor is sampled independently; however, for purposes of activation, recalibration, and repeat
rates, all of them are treated as one group. The Group also has different controls and allows for
different behavior such as sliding, tapping, or press and hold.
The grouped sensors may be ungrouped as described in Section 5.6.
5.4.4
Sensing Cycle
Each Capacitive Touch Sensor has controls to be activated and included in the sensing cycle. When
the device is active, it automatically initiates a sensing cycle and repeats the cycle every time it
finishes. The cycle polls through each active Sensor starting with CS1 and extending through CS14.
As each Capacitive Touch Sensor is polled, its measurement is compared against a baseline “Not
Touched” measurement. If the delta measurement is large enough, a touch is detected and an interrupt
generated.
5.4.5
Proximity Detection
Sensor CS1 can be configured to detect changes in capacitance due to proximity of a touch. This
circuitry detects the change of capacitance that is generated as an object approaches, but does not
physically touch, the CS1 sensor. When proximity detection is enabled, the signal is boosted by 8x to
detect very small capacitance changes. Separate controls determine averaging and sensitivity for
proximity (see Section 6.35, "Proximity Control Register").
5.4.6
Recalibrating Sensors
Each sensor is regularly recalibrated at a programmable rate. By default, the recalibration routine
stores the average 256 previous measurements and periodically updates the base “Not Touched”
setting for the Capacitive Touch Sensor input. This routine is disabled automatically if a touch is
detected so the touch does not factor into the base “Not Touched” setting.

DATASHEET
SMSC CAP1214
Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
5.4.7
Low Frequency Noise Detection
Each sensor has an EMI noise detector that will sense if low frequency noise is injected onto the input
with sufficient power to corrupt the readings. If this occurs, the device will reject the corrupted sample
and set the corresponding bit in the Noise Status registers to a logic ‘1’.
5.4.8
RF Noise Detection
Each sensor also contains an integrated RF noise detector. This block will detect injected RF noise on
the CS pin. The detector threshold is dependent upon the noise frequency. If RF noise is detected on
a CS line, the applicable Noise Status bit is set and that sample is removed and not compared against
the threshold.
5.5
Grouped Sensor Behavior
The CAP1214 Grouped sensors (CS8 - CS14) can be configured to function as a single entity that
operates differently than the individual button sensors (for ungrouped behavior see Section 5.6). When
configured as a group these sensors function as a slider and offer three different interface functions
associated with it. These functions are Tap, Press and Hold, or a Slide.
For purposes of a Tap or Press and Hold event, the “DOWN” side of the Grouped sensors are defined
as CS8, CS9 and CS10. The “UP” side of the Grouped Sensors are defined as CS12, CS13, and
CS14. CS11 is neither “UP” nor “DOWN” and a tap or press and hold event on CS11 will not cause
either UP or DOWN status bits to be set.
For purposes of a slide, the “DOWN” direction is decreasing in CS channel number. Conversely, the
“UP” direction is increasing in CS number.
APPLICATION NOTE: The Grouped Sensors will cause either the UP or DOWN status bits to be set but not both
at the same time. In the case that a sensor on both the “UP” side of the slider and the
“DOWN” side of the slider are touched simultaneously, neither the UP nor DOWN status bits
will be set.
5.5.1
Tap
If a touch on any Grouped sensor is detected and held for less than or equal to the M_PRESS bit
settings (default 245ms), a group press is detected, the TAP bit is set, and an interrupt is generated.
Furthermore, the relative position on the slider is determined and the appropriate UP or DOWN status
bits are set and the appropriate LED is actuated.
No further action is taken. If a slide is subsequently detected, the TAP status bit is cleared.
5.5.2
Press and Hold
If a touch on any Grouped sensor is held for longer than the M_PRESS bit settings (default 245ms),
a Group Touch is detected and an interrupt is generated. Furthermore, the relative position on the
slider is determined and the appropriate UP or DOWN status bits are set, the PH bit is set, and the
appropriate LED is actuated.
So long as the Grouped sensor is held, it will flag an interrupt at the programmed repeat rate (as
determined by the RPT_RATE_PH bit settings) indefinitely. Once the touch has been removed, the
Group is returned to its normal operating condition.
The M_PRESS setting is important to distinguish between Tap, Press & Hold and Sliding. If M_PRESS
is set too low, a Press & Hold may be detected during a slow slide. This will cause user confusion as
the Slide direction and LED may change. Longer M_PRESS settings will ensure that the 3 Group
behaviors are reliably distinct and will add more delay prior to the Press & Hold repeat interrupt
generation.

5.5.3
Slider
The Grouped sensors have the capability to detect a slide in either the “UP” or “DOWN” direction as
referenced by the sensor numbers that are used. For example, an “Up” direction slide would be
detected if CS8 detected a touch, followed by CS9, then by CS10, etc. Likewise, a “Down” direction
slide would be detected if CS10 detected a touch, followed by CS9, then by CS8, etc.
Slides in either direction are configured to flag an interrupt and to cause an LED to be actuated
(separate for each direction). The Slide is detected independently of a Press and Hold or a Tap
condition and only one condition may be present at any one time.
So long as a slide is maintained in either direction, it will flag an interrupt at the programmed repeat
rate (as determined by the RPT_RATE_SL bit settings). If the slide is removed or changes direction,
it will reset and return to normal operation.
5.5.4
Relative Position
The CAP1214 has the option to indicate the relative position of a touch on the Grouped sensors. This
value is stored either as a scaled number from 2 to 98 indicating where a tap, press and hold, or the
end of a slide was detected or as a 8-bit number that represents volumetric data. When configured to
store volumetric data, the user may write a base setting at any time that is modified based on Grouped
sensor behavior (see Section 6.4).
5.5.5
Slider Velocity
The repeat rate can be dynamically increased based on the speed of a slide. This permits slow sliding
motions to have precise, step-by-step volume control and faster motions to generate increasingly fast
volume changes.
Two techniques are employed to increase the number of interrupts generated based on speed. First,
the slide speed is measured and the repeat rate is increased to provide more interrupts for the same
distance traveled relative to a slower slide. Second, additional interrupts are generated immediately
after the slide ends to further increase the change in volume. The number of additional interrupts is
based on slide speed; both of these dynamic slider behaviors are controlled by the Slider Velocity
Register.
5.6
Ungrouped Sensor Behavior
The CAP1214 Grouped sensors have the option to be used as individual buttons. When the group is
broken (via the VOL_UP_DOWN bit - see Section 6.33), buttons CS8 and CS14 will adopt one type
of behavior while buttons CS9 - CS13 will adopt another. In all cases, a slide will not be detected.
5.6.1
CS9 - CS13 Ungrouped Behavior
These buttons will cause the corresponding status bit in the Button Status 2 register (see Section 6.2)
to be asserted when a touch is detected. This touch detection uses the button queue and button repeat
rate settings. They will use the slider maximum duration and multiple touch settings.
5.6.2
CS8 and CS14 Ungrouped Behavior
CS8 and CS14 will generate interrupts based on the duration of the touch detected, similar to a Tap
and Press and Hold events. Furthermore, these sensors will generate interrupts at the Grouped
Sensors repeat rate based on whether a Tap or Press and Hold event has been detected.
If a touch is detected on CS8, the DOWN status bit will be set in addition to either TAP or PH.
If a touch is detected on CS14, the UP status bit will be set in addition to either TAP or PH.

DATASHEET
SMSC CAP1214
Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
Based on the multiple button touch settings (see Section 6.23), both CS8 and CS14 may detect a
touch simultaneously and both UP and DOWN status bits may be set.
5.7
FEEDBACK Pin
The FEEDBACK pin can drive an external device (such as a piezo transducer) to generate feedback
(sound or vibration) to the final application user. The FEEDBACK pin can be driven when a touch is
detected (see Section 6.41, "Feedback Channel Configuration Registers"), or it can be driven by the
host (see Section 6.42, "Feedback One-Shot Register"). Duration and frequency of the output are
programmable (see Section 6.40, "Feedback Configuration Register").
When activated, the FEEDBACK pin drives a 50% duty cycle signal at the programmed frequency for
the programmed duration.
5.8
ALERT Pin
The ALERT pin is an active high output that asserts when an interrupt event is detected. It is also used
to wake the device from Deep Sleep state.
Whenever an interrupt is generated, the INT bit (see Section 6.1) is set. The ALERT pin is cleared
when INT bit is cleared by the user. Additionally, if no press is detected, the status bits are cleared
when the INT bit is cleared.
5.8.1
Button Interrupt Behavior
For non-grouped buttons, an interrupt is generated when a touch is detected. If the repeat rate is
enabled (see Section 6.14), then, so long as the touch is held, another interrupt will be generated
based on the programmed repeat rate (see Figure 5.2) and upon release. If repeat rate is not enabled,
an interrupt is generated when a touch is detected and optionally, can be generated at release (see
Section 6.33 and Figure 5.3).

5.8.2
Grouped Sensor Interrupt Behavior
For grouped sensors, an interrupt is generated upon initial detection of a tap, slide, or press and hold
event. Subsequent interrupts are generated as follows:
1. For a slide event, an interrupt is generated based on the programmed repeat rate as well as the
velocity of the slide operation. See Figure 5.6 and Figure 5.7. Additional interrupts are generated
after the slide has finished. These extra interrupts are generated every round robin cycle (~35ms)
and the number is determined by the speed of the slide.
2. For a tap event there are no further interrupts. See Figure 5.4.
3. For a press and hold event, interrupts are generated based on the programmed repeat rate. If the
repeat rate is disabled, no further interrupts are generated. See Figure 5.5.

During Power-On-Reset (POR), the default values are stored in the registers. A POR is initiated when
power is first applied to the part and the voltage on the VDD supply surpasses the POR level as
specified in the electrical characteristics. Any reads to undefined registers will return 00h. Writes to
undefined registers will not have an effect.
When a bit is “set”, this means that the user writes a logic ‘1’ to it. When a bit is “cleared”, this means
that the user writes a logic ‘0’ to it.

Bit 5 - SLEEP - Enables Sleep state by deactivating the LED activity and scanning those sensors
enabled via the Sleep Control register.
„
‘0’ (default) - Sensor scanning is active and LEDs are functional.
„
‘1’ - All LEDs are disabled (except LED11) and the Capacitive Touch Sensor scanning is limited to
the sensors set in the Sleep Channel Control register (see Section 6.22). The status registers will
not be cleared.
Bit 4 - DSLEEP - Enables the Deep Sleep state by deactivating all functions.
„
‘0’ (default) - Sensor scanning is active and LEDs are functional.
„
‘1’ - All sensor scanning is disabled. Except for LED11, all LEDs are driven to their programmed
non-actuated state and no PWM operations will be done. The device will return to its previous
power state when the ALERT pin is driven to its active level (see Section 5.8). The status registers
are automatically cleared and the INT bit is cleared. SMBus communications targeted at the

Bit 1 - PWR_LED - Controls the output of LED11 based on the state of bits 5 and 4.
„
‘0’ (default) - The LED11 output is in the “inactive” or off state. The LED can still be driven by setting
bit 2 LED11_DR in the LED Output Control 2 Register (74h).
„
‘1’ - The LED11 output is active in one of the following conditions:
a. Both bits 4 and 5 are set to a logic ‘0’. The LED will behave as defined by the LED11_CTL
bits (see Section 6.51).
b. Either bit 4 or bit 5 is set to a logic ‘1’. The LED will behave as defined by the LED11_ALT
bits (see Section 6.51).
Bit 0 - INT - Indicates that there is an interrupt. This bit is only set if the ALERT pin has been asserted.
If a channel detects a press and its associated interrupt enable bit is set to a logic ‘0’, no action is
taken.
This bit is cleared by writing a logic ‘0’ to it. When this bit is cleared, the ALERT pin will be deasserted
and all status registers will be cleared if the condition has been removed.

The Button Status Registers store status bits that indicate a button press has been detected. A value
of ‘0’ in any bit indicates that no button press has been detected. A value of ‘1’ in any bit indicates
that a button press has been detected.
All status bits are cleared when the device enters the Deep Sleep or Inactive states (DSLEEP = ‘1’ or
DEACT = ‘1’ - see Section 6.1). All status bits are cleared when the INT bit is cleared and if a touch
on the respective Capacitive Touch Sensor is no longer present. If a touch is still detected, the bits will
not be cleared (but this will not cause the interrupt to be asserted - see Section 6.14)
APPLICATION NOTE: When the Button Status 1 Register is read, the Group Status register will be automatically
cleared. Therefore, the Group Status register should be read prior to reading the Button

The Slider Position / Volumetric Data Register indicates the absolute position of a Tap, Slide, or Press
and Hold event detected on the Grouped sensors (slider). Alternately, the register stores volumetric
data that increases or decreased based on detected operations on the Grouped sensors (slider).
Bits 6-0 - POS[6:0] - Indicate absolute position or volumetric data as determined by the POS_VOL bit
(see Section 6.14).
6.4.1
Absolute Position
The absolute position of a single touch is available from this register. By interpolating information from
up to 3 adjacent buttons, 16 different positions are calculated by the CAP1214 from the center of one
button to the center of each adjacent button. The bits will encode a range from 2 to 98 indicative of
where the touch occurred. Table 6.6 shows an example of the settings assuming a single button is
pressed.
If a slide is detected on the Grouped sensors, the POS[6:0] bits will indicate the most recently touched
sensor (i.e. where the slide ended) however will not indicate where the slide originated.
APPLICATION NOTE: When the device enters the Deep Sleep state, the Slider Position / Volumetric Data Register
(06h) is cleared, if the register is set to represent position data.
APPLICATION NOTE: The register will be cleared to a value of 00h when it is read. It will be set to a valid position
when the next ALERT is generated. It will be updated at the respective repeat rate for a slide
or press and hold event regardless of whether it has been read or not. Therefore, it will only
show the position of the last touch detected at the time of the interrupt.

Volumetric Data
If they are setup to present Volumetric Data (see Section 6.14), the bits will encode a range from 0 to
100. This value is updated based on the Grouped sensor activity:
„
A slide in the “UP” direction will increase the volumetric data by the Volumetric Step setting (see
Section 6.6) whenever an interrupt is generated (including extra interrupts generated after the slide
is complete).
„
A slide in the “DOWN” direction will decrease the volumetric data by the Volumetric Step setting
(see Section 6.6) whenever an interrupt is generated (including extra interrupts generated after the
slide is complete)
„
A tap (see Section 5.5.1) on the “UP” side will increase the volumetric data by a value of 1.
„
A tap on the “DOWN” side will decrease the volumetric data by a value of 1.
„
A press and hold (see Section 5.5.2) on the “UP” side will increase the volumetric data by a value
of 1 at every repeat rate interval.
„
A press and hold (see Section 5.5.2) on the “DOWN” side will decrease the volumetric data by a
value of 1 at every repeat rate interval.
The bits are read / write.

The Noise Status Registers store status bits that are generated from the analog block if the detected
noise is above the operating region of the analog detector or the RF noise detector. These bits indicate
that the most recently received data from the sensor is invalid and should not be used for touch
detection. As long as the bit is set for a particular channel, the delta count value is reset to 00h and
thus no touch is detected.
When set, the S1_RF_NOISE (register 0Ah, bit 7) indicates that the CS1 RF noise detector has
detected noise.
These bits are not sticky and will be cleared automatically if the analog block does not report a noise
error.
APPLICATION NOTE: For the CAP1214-2, if the lid closure detection circuitry is enabled, these bits count as
sensors above the lid closure count threshold even if the corresponding data count is not. If
the corresponding data byte exceeds the lid closure threshold, it is not counted twice.
APPLICATION NOTE: Regardless of the state of the Noise Status bits, if low frequency noise is detected on a
sensor, that sample will be discarded unless the DIS_ANA_NOISE bit is set. As well, if RF
noise is detected on a sensor, that sample will be discarded unless the DIS_RF_NOISE bit
is set.

The Lid Closure Status Registers bits are only set if the lid closure detection circuitry is enabled (see
Section 6.24). These status bits indicate that the corresponding Capacitive Touch Sensor exceeded the
Lid Closure threshold. These bits will be set if a button press is detected because the Lid Closure
threshold is a percentage of the Sensor Threshold.
These bits are used in combination with the Lid Closure Pattern register settings to determine when a
Lid Closure Event is flagged (see Section 6.26).
These bits are not sticky and will be cleared automatically when the corresponding sensor count drops
below the lid closure count threshold. The device does not flag a sensor as above or below the
threshold until it has cycled through the queue (see Section 6.25, "Lid Closure Queue Control
Register").

The Group Status Register indicates that one or more actions were detected on the Grouped sensors.
The detectable actions are described in Section 5.5 and Section 5.6.
Bit 7 - LID - Indicates that a Lid Closure Event has been detected. This bit is sticky. When it is set, it
will remain set until read. When a Lid Closure Event is detected, all new touches will be blocked.
Bit 6 - MULT - This bit is asserted if one or more touches are being blocked because greater than N
buttons are simultaneously pressed.
Bit 5 - RESET - Indicates that the device has exited the reset state. This bit may be set via a power
on reset or upon release of the RESET pin. When it is set, it will remain set until read.
Bit 3 - UP - Indicates that a slide was detected on increasing sensors (i.e. Sensor 8 -> Sensor 9 ->
Sensor 10) or on CS14 when the Grouped sensors are ungrouped. This bit is also set if a touch (tap
or press and hold event) is detected on the “Up” portion of the slider. If the Group auto-repeat is
enabled, the ALERT pin will be periodically asserted while a slide or press and hold event is detected.
This bit will be cleared when read and re-set when another interrupt is generated. This bit is cleared
automatically if the DOWN bit is set.
Bit 2 - DOWN - Indicates that a slide was detected on decreasing sensors (i.e. Sensor 14 -> Sensor
13 -> Sensor 12) or on CS8 when the Grouped sensors are ungrouped. This bit is also set if a touch
(tap or press and hold event) is detected on the “Down” portion of the slider. If the Group auto-repeat
is enabled, the ALERT pin will be periodically asserted while a slide or press and hold event is
detected. This bit will be cleared when read and re-set when another interrupt is generated. This bit
is automatically cleared if the UP bit is set.
Bit 1 - TAP - Indicates that a tap was detected on one of the sensors within the Group. The relative
position of the tap is indicated by the UP and DOWN bits so that a tap on the “UP” side of the group
will assert the UP bit as well as the TAP bit. If the tap event is detected in the “center” of the slider
that is neither “UP” nor “DOWN”, the bit will be set; however, no interrupt will be generated. This bit
is sticky and will remain set until read.

The Sensor Delta Count Registers store the delta count that is compared against the threshold used
to determine if a touch has been detected. The count value represents a change in input due to the
capacitance associated with a touch on one of the sensors and is referenced to a calibrated base “Not
Touched” count value. The delta is an instantaneous change and is updated once per sensor per
sensing cycle (see Section 5.4.4 - sensor cycle).

The value presented is a standard 2’s complement number. In addition, the value is capped at a value
of 7Fh. A reading of 7Fh indicates that the sensitivity settings are too high and should be adjusted
accordingly (see Section 6.13).
The value is also capped at a negative value of FFh for negative delta counts which may result upon
a release.

The Queue Control Register determines the number of consecutive samples for which a single sensor
output is above the Sensor Threshold before a touch is detected. This is also used to determine the
number of consecutive samples used to detect a button release. The queue applies independently to
all channels. This register also determines how the noise status bits affect some data.
Bit 5 - NO_CLR_INTD - Controls whether the accumulation of intermediate data is cleared if the noise
status bit is set.
„
‘0’ (default) - The accumulation of intermediate data is cleared if the noise status bit is set.
„
‘1’ - The accumulation of intermediate data is not cleared if the noise status bit is set.
APPLICATION NOTE: Bits 4 and 5 should both be set to the same value. Either both should be set to ‘0’ or both
should be set to ‘1’.
Bit 4 - NO_CLR_NEG - Controls whether the consecutive negative delta counts counter is cleared if
the noise status bit is set.
„
‘0’ (default) - The consecutive negative delta counts counter is cleared if the noise status bit is set.
„
‘1’ - The consecutive negative delta counts counter is not cleared if the noise status bit is set.
Bits 2 - 0 - QUEUE_B[2:0] - The number of consecutive samples necessary to detect a touch. Default
is 3 consecutive samples. See Table 6.15.

The Data Sensitivity Register controls the sensitivity of all button channels.
Bits 6- 4 DELTA_SENSE[2:0] - Controls the sensitivity of a touch detection. The sensitivity settings act
to scale the relative delta count value higher or lower based on the system parameters. A setting of
000b is the most sensitive while a setting of 111b is the least sensitive (see Table 6.17). At the more
sensitive settings, touches are detected for a smaller delta C corresponding to a “lighter” touch. These
settings are more sensitive to noise and a noisy environment may flag more false touches than less
sensitive levels.
APPLICATION NOTE: A value of 128x is the most sensitive setting available. At the most sensitive 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 ΔC 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 ΔC of 3.33pF from a 10pF base capacitance).

The Configuration Register controls general global functionality that affects the entire device.
Bit 7 - TIMEOUT - Enables the time-out and idle functionality of the SMBus protocol.
„
‘0’ (default) - The SMBus time-out and idle functionality are disabled. The SMBus interface will not
time out if the clock line is held low. Likewise, it will not reset if both the data and clock lines are
held high for longer than 150us. This is used for I2C compliance.
„
‘1’ - The SMBus time-out and idle functionality are enabled. The SMBus interface will time out if
the clock line is held low for longer than 30ms. Likewise, it will reset if both the data and clock lines
are held high for longer than 150us.
Bit 6 - POS_VOL - Determines the behavior of the POS[6:0] status bits when a Grouped sensor is
activated - see Section 6.4.
„
SMSC CAP1214
‘0’ (default) - The POS[6:0] bits represent position information that indicates which sensor was

„
‘1’ - The POS[6:0] bits represent volumetric data. The Position / Volumetric Data register is read /
write.
Bit 5 - DIS_DIG_NOISE - Determines whether the digital noise threshold (see Section 6.29, "Button
Noise Threshold Registers") is used by the device. Setting this bit disables the feature.
„
‘0’ - The digital noise threshold is used. If a delta count value exceeds the noise threshold but does
not exceed the touch threshold, the sample is discarded and not used for the automatic recalibration routine.
„
‘1’ (default) - The noise threshold is disabled. Any delta count that is less than the touch threshold
is used for the automatic re-calibration routine.
Bit 4 - DIS_ANA_NOISE - Determines whether the analog noise filter is enabled. Setting this bit
disables the feature.
„
‘0’ (default) - If low frequency noise is detected by the analog block, the delta count on the
corresponding channel is set to 0. Note that this does not require that Noise Status bits be set.
„
‘1’ - A touch is not blocked even if low frequency noise is detected.
Bit 3 - MAX_DUR_EN_B - Determines whether the maximum duration recalibration is enabled for nongrouped sensors.
„
‘0’ - The maximum duration recalibration functionality is disabled. A press may be held indefinitely
and no re-calibration will be performed on any button.
„
‘1’ (default) - The maximum duration recalibration functionality is enabled. If a press is held for
longer than the MAX_DUR_B bit settings, the re-calibration routine will be restarted (see
Section 6.16).
Bit 2 - RPT_EN_B - Determines whether repeat rate is enabled for all buttons.
„
‘0’ (default) - Repeat rate is not enabled. An interrupt will be generated when a touch is detected.
„
‘1’ - Repeat rate is enabled for all buttons.
Bit 1 - MAX_DUR_EN_G - Determines whether the maximum duration recalibration is enabled for
grouped sensors.
„
‘0’ (default) - The maximum duration recalibration functionality is disabled. A press may be held
indefinitely and no re-calibration will be performed on any button.
„
‘1’ - The maximum duration recalibration functionality is enabled. If a press is held for longer than
the MAX_DUR_G bit settings, the re-calibration routine will be restarted (see Section 6.18).
Bit 0 - RPT_EN_G - Determines the interrupt mechanism used when a Press and Hold event is
detected on a grouped sensor.

The Group Configuration 1 Register controls timings associated with the Capacitive Sensor channels
8 - 14 that are included in the group.
Bits 7-4 - RPT_RATE_PH[3:0] - (default 0100b) Determines the time duration between interrupt
assertions when auto repeat is enabled. This setting applies when a press and hold condition is
detected on the on the Grouped Sensors (see Section 5.5). The resolution is 35ms the range is from
35ms to 560ms as shown in Table 6.23.
Bits 3- 0 - M_PRESS[3:0] - (default 0111b) - Determines the minimum amount of time that a sensor
in the Group must detect a button press to differentiate between a tap and a press and hold. If the
sensor detects a touch for longer than the M_PRESS[3:0] settings, a Press and Hold event is detected.
This has no effect on whether a slide is detected within the group. If a slide is detected before or after
the press has been confirmed, it is treated as a separate event. If a sensor detects a touch for less
than or equal to the M_PRESS[3:0] settings, a Tap event is detected.
The resolution is 35ms the range is from 35ms to 560ms as shown in Table 6.25.

The Calibration Activate Registers force the respective sensors to be re-calibrated. When a bit is set,
the corresponding Capacitive Touch Sensor will be re-calibrated and the bit will be automatically
cleared once the re-calibration routine has finished. This calibration routine will update the internal
analog controls and gain settings followed by a digital calibration to capture the base count for touch
detection. During the re-calibration routine, the sensors will not detect a press for up to 600ms and the
Sensor Base Count register values will be invalid. During this time, any press on the corresponding
sensors will invalidate the re-calibration.

The Lid Closure Pattern Registers act as a pattern to identify an expected sensor profile that is
consistent with lid closure. They are only used when lid closure is enabled (see Section 6.24, "Lid
Closure Configuration Register"). There are two methods for how the Lid Closure Status Registers are
used with the Lid Closure Pattern registers: as specific sensors that must exceed the lid closure
threshold or as the number of sensors that must exceed the lid closure threshold. Which method is
used is based on bit 1 in the Lid Closure Configuration Register. The methods are described below. A
Lid Closure Event is flagged in the Group Status register (see Section 6.10, "Group Status Register").
1. Specific Sensors: If the bits set in the Lid Closure Pattern are also set in the Lid Status registers,
a Lid Closure Event is flagged.
2. Number of Sensors: The number of bits in the Lid Closure Status registers is compared to the
number of bits in the Lid Closure Pattern registers to determine whether a Lid Closure Event is
flagged. If any one of the conditions below is met, the Lid Closure Event is flagged.
6.27
„
If the number of bits in Lid Closure Status 1 register equals or exceeds the number of bits in
the Lid Closure Pattern 1 register, a Lid Closure Event is flagged. In other words, if the number
of simultaneous sensors 1-7 exceeding the lid closure threshold meets or exceeds the number
of bits in the Lid Closure Pattern 1 register, a Lid Closure Event is flagged.
„
If the number of bits in Lid Closure Status 2 register equals or exceeds the number of bits in
the Lid Closure Pattern 2 register, a Lid Closure Event is flagged. In other words, if the number
of simultaneous grouped sensors 8-14 exceeding the lid closure threshold meets or exceeds
the number of bits in the Lid Closure Pattern 2 register, a Lid Closure Event is flagged.
„
If the total number of bits in both the Lid Closure Status 1 and 2 registers equals or exceeds
the total number of bits in both the Lid Closure Pattern 1 and 2 registers, a Lid Closure Event
is flagged. In other words, if the total number of sensors above the lid closure threshold is
greater than or equal to the number of sensors required for both Lid Closure Patterns, a Lid
Closure Event is flagged.
„
A value of 00h in both registers will effectively disable the Lid Closure circuitry and clear the
LID status bit.

The Sensor Threshold Registers store 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 changes due to the
capacitance associated with a touch. If the sensor input change exceeds the threshold settings, a
touch is detected.
When the BUT_LD_TH bit is set (see Section 6.27 - bit 7), writing data to the Sensor 1 Threshold
register will update all of the button threshold registers (31h - 36h inclusive).
When the GP_LD_TH bit is set (see Section 6.27 - bit 6), writing data to the Sensor 1 Threshold
register (30h) will update the Group Threshold register (37h).
Individual button registers and the Group Threshold register may be updated independently of the
Sensor 1 Threshold settings.

The Button Noise Threshold Registers control the value of a secondary internal threshold to detect
noise and improve the automatic recalibration routine. If a Capacitive Touch Sensor output exceeds
the Button Noise Threshold but does not exceed the sensor threshold, it is determined to be caused
by a noise spike. That sample is not used by the automatic re-calibration routine.
This feature can be disabled by setting the DIS_DIG_NOISE bit (see Section 6.14, "Configuration
Register").
The Button Noise Threshold is proportional to the programmed threshold as shown in Table 6.42.

The Slider Velocity Configuration Register controls the speed sensitive behaviors of the slider, allowing
the number of interrupts to be increased as the slide speed increases.
Bit 7 - ACC_INT_EN - Enables the device to generate extra interrupts after an accelerated slide has
been detected.
„
‘0’ - The device will not generate extra interrupts during or after the slide has been detected.
„
‘1’ (default) - The device will generate extra interrupts after an accelerated slide is detected. The
number of extra interrupts generated will be proportional to the speed of the accelerated slide but
will not exceed the maximum number of extra interrupts as determined by the MAX_INT bits.
Bits 6-4 - MAX_INT[2:0] - (default 100b) Determine the maximum number of extra interrupts that will
be generated after a single slide (regardless of length). The variable “T” is the actual slide time and
the parameter SLIDE_TIME is set by bits [3:2] of this register.

Bit 7 - INV_LINK_TRAN - Determines the behavior of the Linked LED Transition controls (see Section
6.48, "Linked LED Transition Control Registers").
„
‘0’ (default) - The Linked LED Transition controls set the min duty cycle equal to the max duty cycle.
„
‘1’ - The Linked LED Transition controls will invert the touch signal. For example, a touch signal
will be inverted to a non-touched signal.
Bit 5 - LED11_CFG - Determines whether LED11 base frequency is configurable.
„
‘0’ (default) - The PWM base frequency for the LED11 driver is set at ~2000Hz.
„
‘1’ - The PWM base frequency for the LED11 driver will be configured per settings in the LED11
Configuration Register (8Ah) (see Section 6.56, "LED11 Configuration Register").
Bit 4 - BLK_POL_MIR - Determines whether the LED Mirror Control register bits are linked to the LED
Polarity bits.
„
‘0’ (default) - When the LED Polarity controls are set, the corresponding LED Mirror control is
automatically set. Likewise, when the LED Polarity controls are cleared, the corresponding LED
Mirror control is cleared.
„
‘1’ - When the LED Polarity controls are changed, the corresponding LED Mirror control is not
automatically changed.
Bit 3 - SHOW_RF_NOISE - Determines whether the Noise Status bits will show RF Noise as the only
input source.
„
‘0’ (default) - The Noise Status registers will show both RF noise and low frequency noise if either
is detected on a Capacitive Touch Sensor channel.
„
‘1’ - The Noise Status registers will only show RF noise if it is detected on a Capacitive Touch
Sensor channel. Generic noise will still be detected and touches will be blocked normally; however,
the status bits will not be updated.
Bit 2 - DIS_RF_NOISE - Determines whether the RF noise filter is enabled. Setting this bit disables
the feature.
„
‘0’ (default) - If RF noise is detected by the analog block, the delta count on the corresponding
channel is set to 0. Note that this does not require that Noise Status bits be set.
„
‘1’ - A touch is not blocked even if RF noise is detected.
Bit 1 - VOL_UP_DOWN - Determines how the Grouped Sensors are to be used.
„
‘0’ (default) - The grouped sensors are used as a slider. All seven of the sensors are sampled
together and may disabled as a whole using the GP_EN (see Section 6.15) or GSLEEP (see
Section 6.22) controls or individually (using the Grouped Sensor Channel Enable register - see
Section 6.34). Alternately, each sensor may be disabled individually via the Group Sensor Channel
Enable register. They will use the Group Threshold settings for all touch detections.
„
‘1’ - The grouped sensors are used as separate sensors and are not grouped. They will behave
as follows:
1. Each sensor will flag individual interrupts when a touch is detected. They will set the
corresponding status bit in the Button Status 2 register.
2. The UP / DOWN, TAP, or PH status bits will not be set for CS9, CS10, CS11, CS12, or CS13.
No slide will be detected.
3. Each sensor will use the Group Threshold settings.
4. Each sensor can be individually enabled / disabled via the Grouped Sensor Enable register
settings.
5. All sensors except CS8 and CS14 will use the button queue controls and repeat rates.
6. The CS8 and CS14 sensors will use the tap and press and hold logic as well as the group
repeat rate settings.

7. All sensors will use the group max duration settings if this feature is enabled via the
MAX_DUR_EN_G bit.
8. For CS8 and CS14, interrupts will be generated in the same way as they would be for a TAP
or Press and Hold event. This means that an interrupt will be generated on a touch. If the button
is held, interrupts will be generated at the Group Repeat rate until the button is released. These
buttons do not use the INT_REL_n control and will only generate an interrupt when a touch is
detected.
9. The CS8 sensor will be the designated “DOWN” button. When a tap or Press and Hold event
is detected, it will cause the DOWN status bit to be set. The TAP and PH status bits will be set
normally.
10. The CS14 sensor will be the designated “UP” button. When a Tap or Press and Hold event is
detected, it will cause the UP status bit to be set. The TAP and PH status bits will be set
normally.
Bit 0 - INT_REL_n - Controls the interrupt behavior when a release is detected on a button.
6.34
„
‘0’ (default) - An interrupt is generated when a press is detected and again when a release is
detected and at the repeat rate (if enabled - see Section 6.14 and Section 6.33).
„
‘1’ - An interrupt is generated when a press is detected and at the repeat rate (if enabled - see
Section 6.14 and Section 6.33).

The Proximity Control Register controls sensitivity settings for CS1.
Bit 7 - CS1_PROX - Determines the functionality of the CS1 channel.
„
‘0’ (default) - The CS1 channel is not measuring proximity. It will use the standard button queue
and data sensitivity controls. The Averaging will be set to a value of ‘1’. Writing to the
PROX_AVG[2:0] bits will change the averaging applied to CS1 (and only CS1).
„
‘1’ - The CS1 channel is measuring proximity. It will not use the queue. In addition, the CS1 channel
will not use the DELTA_SHIFT[2:0] sensitivity settings and will instead use the
PROX_D_SHIFT[2:0] settings. In Proximity mode, the signal is boosted by 8X to detect very small
capacitance changes.
Bit 6 - PROX_SUM - Determines whether the CS1 channel averaging will perform an average or
calculate the sum of the measured channel when comparing the delta count against the threshold.
„
‘0’ (default) - When configured to detect proximity, the CS1 channel delta counts will be the
average.
„
‘1’ - When configured to detect proximity, the CS1 channel will sum the results of the averages
rather than report the true average. This value will be compared against the threshold normally.
Note that this mode is intended for very small signal detection. Because the delta count is the
summation of several consecutive measurements, it may become very large. Adjustments to the
sensitivity and threshold values will be required to maintain proper operation.
Bits 5 - 3 - PROX_AVG[1:0] - Determines the averaging value used when CS1 is set to detect
proximity. When averaging is enabled (i.e. not set at a value of ‘1’), the CS1 sensor will be sampled
the average number of times consecutively during the same polling cycle. The delta counts are
summed and then divided by the number of averages to get an average delta which is compared
against the threshold normally.
This will increase the time of the polling cycle linearly with the number of averages taken. As the polling
cycle time is used to set the update rate, repeat rate, and recalibration times, these will likewise
increase. See Table 6.53.

Bits 2 - 0 - PROX_D_SENSE[2:0] - Controls the sensitivity of detecting proximity. The sensitivity
settings act to scale the relative delta count value higher or lower based on the system parameters. A
setting of 0000b is the most sensitive while a setting of 1111b is the least sensitive. At the more
sensitive settings, touches are detected for a smaller delta C corresponding to a “lighter” touch. These
settings are more sensitive to noise, however, and a noisy environment may flag more false touches
than less sensitive levels. See Table 6.17.

OVERSAMP_RATE[2:0]
00h
The Sampling Configuration Register controls the length of the sampling window of selected Capacitive
Touch Sensor channels as indicated in the Sampling Channel Select register.
Increasing the sampling window time will have two effects. The first effect will be to increase the
effective sensitivity of that particular channel so that a touch may be detected with a smaller ΔC.
However, at the larger sampling times, the resolution of the measurement is reduced.
The second effect will be increase the overall round robin rate (and all timing associated with the round
robin rate such as re-calibration times, repeat rate times, and maximum duration times).
All Capacitive Touch Sensors default to a sampling time of 2.5ms. Increasing the sampling time of any
single channel will increase the overall polling cycle by the same amount.
Bits 2 - 0 - OVERSAMP_RATE[2:0] - Determine the time to take a single sample. This setting applies
to all selected sensors.

The Sensor Base Count Registers store the calibrated “Not Touched” input value from the Capacitive
Touch Sensor inputs. These registers are periodically updated by the re-calibration routine.
The routine uses an internal adder to add the current count value for each reading to the sum of the
previous readings until sample size has been reached. At this point, the upper 16 bits are taken and
used as the Sensor Base Count. The internal adder is then reset and the re-calibration routine
continues.
The data presented is determined by the BASE_SHIFT bits (see Section 6.13).

The LED Status Registers indicate when an LED has completed its configured behavior (see Section
6.51, "LED Behavior Registers") after being actuated by the host (see Section 6.46, "LED Output
Control Registers"). These bits are ignored when the LED is linked to a capacitive sensor input. The
bits are cleared when the INT bit has been cleared. Likewise, these bits are cleared when the DSLEEP
bit is set.

The Feedback Configuration Register controls the output of the FEEDBACK pin (see Section 5.7,
"FEEDBACK Pin").
APPLICATION NOTE: When linked to one or more sensors, the FEEDBACK pin will be activated when a touch is
detected. If the duration, frequency, or linking is changed while the FEEDBACK pin is active,
these changes will be applied the next time that the FEEDBACK pin is activated.
APPLICATION NOTE: If linked to one or more sensors and a second touch is detected while the FEEDBACK pin
is active, it will be restarted immediately without completing the current activity duration. Any
previously programmed setting changes are applied.

The LED Output Control Registers control the output state of the LED pins when they are configured
as outputs (see Section 6.43, "LED / GPIO Direction Register") and are not linked to sensor inputs
(see Section 6.50, "Sensor LED Linking Register"). When these bits are set, the drive of the pin is
determined by the output type and the polarity controls (see Section 6.44, "LED / GPIO Output Type
Register" and Section 6.47, "LED Polarity Registers").
The LED Polarity Control register will determine the non actuated state of the LED pins. The actuated
LED behavior is determined by the LED behavior controls (see Section 6.51, "LED Behavior
Registers").

The LED Polarity Registers control the logical polarity of the LED outputs. When these bits are set or
cleared, the corresponding LED Mirror controls are also set or cleared (unless the BLK_POL_MIR bit
is set - see Section 6.33). Table 6.68, "LED Polarity Behavior" shows the interaction between the
polarity controls, output controls, and relative brightness.
APPLICATION NOTE: The polarity controls determine the final LED pin drive. A touch on a linked Capacitive Touch
Sensor is treated in the same way as the LED Output Control bit being set to a logic ‘1’.
APPLICATION NOTE: The LED drive assumes that the LEDs are configured such that if the LED pin is driven to
a logic ‘0’, the LED will be on and the CAP1214 LED pin is sinking the LED current.
Conversely, if the LED pin is driven to a logic ‘1’, the LED will be off and there is no current
flow. See Figure 5.1, "System Diagram for CAP1214".
APPLICATION NOTE: This application note applies when the LED polarity is inverted (LEDx_POL = ‘0’). For LED
operation, the duty cycle settings determine the % of time that the LED pin will be driven to
a logic ‘0’ state in an inverted system. The Max Duty Cycle settings define the maximum %
of time that the LED pin will be driven low (i.e. maximum % of time that the LED is on) while
the Min Duty Cycle settings determine the minimum % of time that the LED pin will be driven
low (i.e. minimum % of time that the LED is on). When there is no touch detected or the
LED Output Control register bit is at a logic ‘0’, the LED output will be driven at the minimum
duty cycle setting. Breathe operations will ramp the duty cycle from the minimum duty cycle
to the maximum duty cycle.
APPLICATION NOTE: This application note applies when the LED polarity is non-inverted (LEDx_POL = ‘1’). For
LED operation, the duty cycle settings determine the % of time that the LED pin will be driven
to a logic ‘1’ state in a non-inverted system. The Max Duty Cycle settings define the
maximum % of time that the LED pin will be driven high (i.e. maximum % of time that the
LED is off) while the Min Duty Cycle settings determine the minimum % of time that the LED
pin will be driven high (i.e. minimum % of time that the LED is off). When there is no touch
detected or the LED Output Control register bit is at a logic ‘0’, the LED output will be driven
at 100 minus the minimum duty cycle setting. Breathe operations will ramp the duty cycle
from 100 minus the minimum duty cycle to 100 minus the maximum duty cycle.

The Linked LED Transition Control Registers control the LED drive when the LED is linked to a

Bit 6 - LED7_LTRAN - Determines the transition effect when LED7 is linked to CS7.
„
‘0’ (default) - When the LED output control bit for CS7 is ‘1’, and then CS7 is linked to LED7 and
no touch is detected, the LED will change states.
„
‘1’ - If the INV_LINK_TRAN bit is ‘1’, when the LED output control bit for CS7 is ‘1’, and then CS7
is linked to LED7 and no touch is detected, the LED will not change states. In addition, the LED
state will change when the sensor is touched. If the INV_LINK_TRAN bit is ‘0’, when the LED
output control bit for CS7 is ‘1’, and then CS7 is linked to LED7 and no touch is detected, the LED
will not change states. However, the LED state will not change when the sensor is touched.
APPLICATION NOTE: If the LED behavior is not “Direct” and the INV_LINK_TRAN bit it ‘0’, the LED will not perform
as expected when the LED7_LTRAN bit is set to ‘1’. Therefore, if breathe and pulse

The LED Mirror Control Registers determine the meaning of duty cycle settings when polarity is noninverted for each LED channel. When the polarity bit is set to ‘1’ (non-inverted), to obtain correct steps
for LED ramping, pulse, and breathe behaviors, the min and max duty cycles need to be relative to
100%, rather than the default, which is relative to 0%.
APPLICATION NOTE: The LED drive assumes that the LEDs are configured such that if the LED pin is driven to
a logic ‘0’, the LED will be on and the CAP1214 LED pin is sinking the LED current. When
the polarity bit is set to ‘1’, it is considered non-inverted. For systems using the opposite LED
configuration, mirror controls would apply when the polarity bit is ‘0’.
These bits are changed automatically if the corresponding LED Polarity bit is changed (unless the
BLK_POL_MIR bit is set - see Section 6.33).

The Sensor LED Linking Register controls whether a Capacitive Touch Sensor is linked to an LED
output. If the corresponding bit is set, the appropriate LED output will change states defined by the
LED Behavior controls (see Section 6.51, "LED Behavior Registers") in response to the Capacitive
Touch sensor.
If the LED channel is configured as an input, the corresponding Sensor LED Linking bit is ignored.
Bit 7 - UP_DOWN_LINK - Links the LED10 output to a detected UP condition on the group including
a slide in the “up” direction, a tap on the “up” side of the group or a press and hold condition on the

The LED Behavior Registers control the operation of LEDs. Each LEDx / GPIOx pin is controlled by a
2-bit field. If the LEDx / GPIOx pin is configured as an input, these bits are ignored.
If the corresponding LED output is linked to a Capacitive Touch Sensor, the appropriate behavior will
be enabled / disabled based on touches and releases.
If the LED output is not associated with a Capacitive Touch Sensor, the appropriate behavior will be
enabled / disabled by the LED Output Control register. If the respective LEDx_DR bit is set to a logic
‘1’, this will be associated as a “touch”, and if the LEDx_DR bit is set to a logic ‘0’, this will be
associated as a “release”.
Table 6.73 shows the behavior triggers. The defined behavior will activate when the Start Trigger is
met and will stop when the Stop Trigger is met. Note the behavior of the Breathe Hold and Pulse
Release option.
The LED Polarity Control register will determine the non actuated state of the LED outputs (see Section
6.47, "LED Polarity Registers").
APPLICATION NOTE: If an LED is not linked to a Capacitive Touch Sensor and is breathing (via the Breathe or
Pulse behaviors), it must be unactuated before any changes to behavior are processed.
APPLICATION NOTE: If an LED is not linked to the Capacitive Touch Sensor and configured to operate using Pulse
1 Behavior, the circuitry will only be actuated when the corresponding bit is set. It will not
check the bit condition until the Pulse 1 behavior is finished. The device will not remember
if the bit was cleared and reset while it was actuated.
APPLICATION NOTE: If an LED is actuated and it is switched from linked to a Capacitive Touch Sensor to unlinked
(or vice versa), the LED will respond to the new command source immediately if the behavior
was Direct or Breathe. For Pulse behaviors, it will complete the behavior already in progress.
For example, if a linked LED was actuated by a touch and the control is changed so that it
is unlinked, it will check the status of the corresponding LED Output Control bit. If that bit is
‘0’, the LED will behave as if a release was detected. Likewise, if an unlinked LED was
actuated by the LED Output Control register and the control is changed so that it is linked
and no touch is detected, the LED will behave as if a release was detected.

Bits 2 - 0 - DIR_OFF_DLY[2:0] - Determines the Direct behavior mode turn-off delay, which is the
amount of time an LED in Direct behavior mode remains active after it is no longer actuated (such as
after a release has been detected or the drive state has been changed). Available settings are shown
in Table 6.89.

The Sensor Calibration Registers hold the 10-bit value that is used for the analog block when each
sensor is selected. These registers are read only. They are updated automatically by the digital block
when the analog re-calibration routine is performed.
These bits are cleared when the device is placed into Standby or Deep Sleep for all channels that are
not sampled.
