for Electrostatic Capacitive Touch
Sensors

Overview
The LC717A00AJ is a high-performance, low-cost capacitance-digital-converter LSI for electrostatic capacitive touch
sensor, especially focused on usability. It has 8 channels capacitance-sensor input. The built-in logic circuit can detect
the state (ON/OFF) of each input and output the result. This makes it ideal for various switch applications.
The calibration function is automatically performed by the built-in logic circuit during power activation or whenever
there are environmental changes. In addition, since initial settings of parameters, such as gain, are configured,
LC717A00AJ can operate as stand-alone when the recommended switch pattern is applied.
Also, since LC717A00AJ has a serial interface compatible with I2C and SPI bus, parameters can be adjusted using
external devices whenever necessary. Moreover, outputs of the 8-input capacitance data can be detected and measured
as 8-bit data.

Power-on Reset (POR)
When power is turned on, power-on reset is enabled inside the LSI and its state is released after a certain power-on reset
time, tPOR. Power-on reset operation condition: Power supply rise rate tVDD must be at least 1V/ms.
Since INTOUT pin changes from “High” to “Low” at the same time as the released of power-on reset state, it is
possible to verify the tPOR externally.
During power-on reset state, Cin, Cref and Pout are unknown.

LC717A00AJ is capacitance-digital-converter LSI capable of detecting changes in capacitance in the femto Farad order.
It consists of an oscillation circuit that generates the system clock, a power-on reset circuit that resets the system when
the power is turned on, a multiplexer that selects the input channels, a two-stage amplifier that detects the changes in the
capacitance and outputs analog-amplitude values, a A/D converter that converts the analog-amplitude values into digital
data, and a control logic that controls the entire chip. Also, it has an I2C compatible bus or SPI that enables serial
communication with external devices as necessary.

Details of Pin Functions
●Cin0 to Cin7
These are the capacitance-sensor-input pins. These pins are used by connecting them to the touch switch pattern. Cin
and the Cdrv wire patterns should be close to each other. By doing so, Cdrv and Cin patterns are capacitively coupled.
Therefore, LSI can detect capacitance change near each pattern as 8bit digital data.
However, if the shape of each pattern or the capacitively coupled value of Cdrv is not appropriate, it may not be able
to detect the capacitance change correctly.
In this LSI, there is a two-stage amplifier that detects the changes in the capacitance and outputs analog-amplitude
values. Cin0 to Cin7 are connected to the inverting input of the 1st amplifier.
During measurement process, channels other than the one being measured are all in “Low” condition.
Leave the unused terminals open.
●Cref
It is the reference-capacitance-input pin. It is used by connecting to the wire pattern like Cin pins or is used by
connecting any capacitance between this pin and Cdrv pin.
In this LSI, there is a two-stage amplifier that detects the changes in the capacitance and outputs analog-amplitude
values. Cref is connected to the non-inverting input of the 1st amplifier.
Due to the parasitic capacitance generated in the wire connections of Cin pins and their patterns, as well as the one
generated between the wire patterns of Cin and Cdrv pins, Cref may not detect capacitance change of each Cin pin
accurately. In this case, connect an appropriate capacitance between Cref and Cdrv to detect capacitance change
accurately.
However, if the difference between the parasitic capacitance of each Cin pin is extremely large, it may not detect
capacitance change in each Cin pin correctly.
●Pout0 to Pout7
These are the detection-result-output pins. The capacitance detection results of Cin0 to Cin7 are compared with the
threshold of the LSI. The pin outputs a “High” or a “Low” depending on the result.
●ERROR
It is the error-occurrence-status-output pin.
It outputs “Low” during normal operation. If there is a calibration error or a system error, it outputs “High” to indicate
that an error occurred.
●Cdrv
It is the output pin for capacitance sensors drive. It outputs the pulse voltage which is needed to detect capacitance at
Cin0 to Cin7.
Cdrv and Cin wire patterns should be close to each other so that they are capacitively coupled.
●INTOUT
It is the interrupt-output pin. It outputs “High” when a measurement process is completed.
Connect to a main microcomputer if necessary, and use as interrupt signal.
Leave the terminal open if not in used.
●SCL/SCK
Clock input (I2C) / Clock input (SPI)
It is the clock input pin of the I2C compatible bus or the SPI depending on the mode of operation.
If interface is not to be used, fix the pin to “High”. However, even if interface is not to be used, providing a
communication terminal on board is still recommended.
●GAIN
In this LSI, there is a two-stage amplifier that detects the changes in the capacitance and outputs analog-amplitude
values. It is the selection pin of the initial value of gain of the 2nd amplifier.
Even if this LSI is used alone, gain setting can still be selected through this terminal. At initialization of the LSI, it is
set to 7-times higher than the minimum setting when GAIN pin is “Low”, and is set to 14-times higher than the
minimum setting when GAIN pin is “High”.
No.A2089-10/11
LC717A00AJ
●nCS
Interface selection / Chip-select-inverting input (SPI)
Selection of I2C compatible bus mode or SPI mode is through this terminal. After initialization, the LSI is
automatically in I2C compatible bus mode. To continually use I2C compatible bus mode, fix nCS pin to “High”. To
switch to SPI mode after LSI initialization, change the nCS input “High” → “Low”. The nCS pin is used as the chipselect-inverting input pin of SPI, and SPI mode is kept until LSI is again initialized.
If interface is not to be used, fix the pin to “High”.
●nRST
It is the external-reset-signal-inverting-input pin. When nRST pin is “Low”, LSI is in the reset state.
Each pin (Cin0 to 7, Cref, Pout,0 to 7, ERROR) is “Hi-Z” during reset state.
●SDA/SI
Data input and output (I2C) / Data input (SPI)
It is the data input and output pin of the I2C compatible bus or the data input pin of the SPI depending on the mode of
operation.
If interface is not to be used, fix the pin to “High”. However, even if interface is not to be used, providing a
communication terminal on board is still recommended.
●SA/SO
Slave address selection (I2C) / Data output (SPI)
It is the slave address selection pin of the I2C compatible bus or the data output pin of the SPI depending on the mode
of operation.
If interface is not to be used, fix the pin to “High”. However, even if interface is not to be used, providing a
communication terminal on board is still recommended.
