LDC2112, LDC2114 Inductive Touch Solution for Low-Power HMI Button Applications
1 Features
3 Description
•
Inductive sensing technology enables touch button
design for human machine interface (HMI) on a wide
variety of materials such as metal, glass, plastic, and
wood, by measuring small deflections of conductive
targets. The sensor for an inductive touch system is a
coil that can be implemented on a small PCB located
behind the panel and protected from the environment.
Inductive sensing solution is insensitive to humidity or
non-conductive contaminants such as oil and dirt. It is
able to automatically correct for any deformation in
the conductive targets.

The LDC2112/LDC2114 is a multi-channel low-noise
inductance to digital converter with integrated
algorithms to implement inductive touch applications.
The device employs an innovative LC resonator that
offers high rejection of noise and interference. The
LDC2112/LDC2114 can reliably detect material
deflections of less than 200 nm.
The LDC2112/LDC2114 includes an ultra-low power
mode intended for power on/off buttons in battery
powered applications.
The LDC2112/LDC2114 is available in a 16-pin
DSBGA or TSSOP package. The 0.4 mm pitch
DSBGA package has a very small 1.6 × 1.6 mm
nominal body size with a maximum height of 0.4 mm.
The 0.65 mm pitch TSSOP package has a 5.0 × 4.4
mm nominal body size with a maximum height of 1.2
mm.

7.1 Overview
The LDC2112/LDC2114 is a multi-channel, low-noise, high-resolution inductance to digital converter (LDC)
optimized for inductive touch applications. Button presses form micro-deflections in the conductive targets which
cause frequency shifts in the resonant sensors. The LDC2112/LDC2114 can measure such frequency shifts and
determine when button presses have occurred. With adjustable sensitivity per input channel, the
LDC2112/LDC2114 can reliably operate with a wide range of physical button structures and materials. The high
resolution measurement enables the implementation of force level buttons. The LDC2112/LDC2114 incorporates
customizable post-processing algorithms for enhanced robustness.
The LDC2112/LDC2114 can operate in an ultra-low power mode for optimal battery life, or can be toggled into a
higher scan rate for more responsive button press detection for game play or other low latency applications. The
LDC2112/LDC2114 is operational from –40 °C to +85 °C with a 1.8 V ± 5% power supply voltage.
The LDC2112/LDC2114 is configured through 400 kHz I2C. Button presses can be reported through the I2C
interface or with configurable polarity dedicated push-pull outputs. Besides the LC resonant sensors, the only
external components necessary for operation are supply bypassing capacitors and a COM pin capacitor to
ground.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Multi-Channel and Single-Channel Operation
The LDC2112 provides two independent sensing channels; the LDC2114 provides four independent sensing
channels. In the following sections, some parameters, such as DATAn and SENSORn_CONFIG, contain a
channel index n. In those instances, n = 0 or 1 for LDC2112, and n = 0, 1, 2, or 3 for LDC2114.
The LDC2112's two available channels are always enabled in Normal Power Mode. The LDC2112 sequentially
samples both channels at the configured scan rate. Either channel can be independently enabled in Low Power
Mode by setting the LPENn (n = 0 or 1) bit fields in Register EN (Address 0x0C).
Any of the LDC2114’s four available channels can be independently enabled by setting the ENn and LPENn (n =
0, 1, 2, or 3) bit fields in Register EN (Address 0x0C). The low-power-enable bit LPENn only takes effect if the
corresponding ENn bit is also set. If only one channel is set active, the LDC2114 periodically samples the single
active channel at the configured scan rate. When several channels are set active, the LDC2114 operates in
multi-channel mode, and it sequentially samples the active channels at the configured scan rate. Each channel of
the LDC2114 can be independently enabled in Low Power Mode and Normal Power Mode.
7.3.2 Button Output Interfaces
Button events may be reported by using two methods. The first method is to monitor the OUTn pins (n = 0, 1, 2,
or 3), which are push-pull outputs and can be used as interrupts to a micro-controller. The polarities of these pins
are programmable through Register OPOL_DPOL (Address 0x1C). Any button press or error condition is also
reported by the push-pull interrupt pin, INTB. Its polarity is configurable through Register INTPOL (Address
0x11). Any assertion of INTB is cleared upon reading Register STATUS (Address 0x00). Each push-pull output
must be assigned to a dedicated general-purpose input pin on the micro-controller to avoid potential current
fights.
The second method is by use of the LDC2112/LDC2114’s I2C interface. The Register OUT (Address 0x01)
contains the fields OUT0, OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3, which indicate when a button press has been detected. For
more advanced button press measurements, the output DATAn registers (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3, Addresses 0x02
through 0x09), which are 12-bit two’s complements, can be retrieved for all active buttons, and processed on a
micro-controller. A valid button push is represented by a positive value. The polarity is configurable in Register
OPOL_DPOL (Address 0x1C). The DATAn values can be used to implement multi-level buttons, where the data
value is correlated to the amount of force applied to the button.

7.3.3 Programmable Button Sensitivity
The GAINn registers (Addresses 0x0E, 0x10, 0x12, and 0x14) enable sensitivity enhancement of individual
buttons to ensure consistent behavior of different mechanical structures. The sensitivity has a 64-level gain factor
for a normalized gain between 1 and 232. Each gain step increases the gain by an average of 9%.
The gain required for an application is primarily determined by the mechanical rigidity of each individual button.
The individual gain steps are listed in the Gain Table.
7.3.4 Baseline Tracking
The LDC2112/LDC2114 incorporates a baseline tracking algorithm to automatically compensate for any slow
change in the sensor output caused by environmental variations, such as temperature drift. The baseline tracking
is configured independently for Normal Power Mode and Low Power Mode. For more information, refer to
Tracking Baseline.
7.3.5 Integrated Button Algorithms
The LDC2112/LDC2114 features several algorithms that can mitigate false button detections due to mechanical
non-idealities. The algorithms look for correlated button responses, for example, similar or opposite responses
between two neighboring buttons, to determine if there is any undesirable mechanical crosstalk. For more
information, refer to Mitigating False Button Detections.
7.3.6 I2C Interface
The LDC2112/LDC2114 features an I2C Interface that can be used to program the internal registers and read
channel data. Before reading the OUT (Address 0x01) or channel DATAn (n = 0, 1, 2 or 3, Addresses 0x02
through 0x05) registers, the user should always read Register STATUS (Address 0x00) first to lock the data. The
LDC2112/LDC2114 supports burst mode with auto-incrementing register addresses.
For the write sequence, there is a special handshake process that has to take place to ensure data integrity. The
sequence of register write is illustrated as follows:
• Set CONFIG_MODE (Register RESET, Address 0x0A) bit = 1 to start the register write session
• Poll for RDY_TO_WRITE (Register STATUS, Address 0x00) bit = 1
• I2C write to configure registers
• Set CONFIG_MODE (Register RESET, Address 0x0A) bit = 0 to terminate the register write session
After CONFIG_MODE is de-asserted, the new scan cycle will start in less than 1 ms. The waveform of the above
process is shown in Figure 12.

7.3.6.1 Selectable I2C Address (LDC2112 Only)
The LDC2112 provides an I2C address select pin, ADDR. Connecting this pin to ground will set the LDC2112 I2C
address to 0x2A. Connecting ADDR to VDD will set the LDC2112 I2C address to 0x2B.
The LDC2114 has a fixed I2C address of 0x2A.

SNOSD15B – DECEMBER 2016 – REVISED APRIL 2017
Feature Description (continued)
7.3.6.3 I2C Bus Control
The LDC2112/LDC2114 cannot drive the I2C clock (SCL), i.e. it does not support clock stretching. In the unlikely
event where the SCL is stuck LOW, power cycle any device that is holding the SCL to activate its internal PowerOn Reset (POR) circuit. If the LDC is connected to the same power supply as that device, there will be about 66
ms set-up time before the LDC becomes active again. For more information, refer to Defining Power-On Timing.
If the data line (SDA) is stuck LOW, the I2C master should send nine clock pulses. The device that is holding the
bus LOW should release it sometime within those nine clocks. If not, then power cycle to clear the bus.
The LDC2112/LDC2114 has built-in monitors to check that the device is currently working. In the unlikely event
of a device fault, the device state will be reset internally, and all the registers will be reset with default settings.
For system robustness, it is recommended to check the value of a modified register periodically to monitor the
device status and reload the register settings if needed.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The LDC2112/LDC2114 supports two power modes of operation, a Normal Power Mode for active sampling at
10, 20, 40, or 80 SPS, and a Low Power Mode for reduced current consumption at 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, or 5 SPS.
Refer to Configuring Button Scan Rate for details.
7.4.1 Normal Power Mode
When the LPWRB input pin is set to VDD, all enabled channels operate in Normal Power Mode. Each channel
can be enabled independently through Register EN (Address 0x0C). For the electrical specification of Normal
Power Mode Scan Rate, refer to Electrical Characteristics.
7.4.2 Low Power Mode
When the LPWRB input pin is set to Ground, only the low-power-enabled channels are active. Each channel can
be enabled independently to operate in Low Power Mode through Register EN (Address 0x0C). For a channel to
operate in the Low Power Mode, both the LPENn and ENn bits (n is the channel index) must be set to 1. The
Low Power Mode allows for energy-saving monitoring of button activity. In this mode, the device is in an inactive
power-saving state for the majority of the time. Lower scan rates correspond to lower current consumption. In
addition, the individual button sampling window should be set to the lowest effective setting (this is system
dependent, but typically 0.8 to 1 ms). For the electrical specification of the configurable Low Power Mode Scan
Rate, refer to Electrical Characteristics.
If a channel is operational in both Low Power Mode and Normal Power Mode, it is recommended to toggle the
LPWRB pin only after the button associated with that channel is released.
7.4.3 Configuration Mode
Before configuring any register settings, the device must be put into the configuration mode first. Setting
CONFIG_MODE = 1 through Register RESET (Address 0x0A) stops data conversion and holds the device in
configuration mode. Any device configuration changes can then be made. The current consumption in this mode
is typically 0.3 mA. After all changes have been written, set CONFIG_MODE = 0 for normal operation. Refer to
I2C Interface for more information.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LDC2112/LDC2114 supports multiple buttons. Each button can be configured in various ways for optimal
operation.
8.1.1 Theory of Operation
An AC current flowing through an inductor will generate an AC magnetic field. If a conductive material, such as a
metal object, is in close proximity to the inductor, the magnetic field will induce circulating eddy currents on the
surface of the conductor. The eddy currents are a function of the distance, size, and composition of the
conductor. If the conductor is deflected toward the inductor as shown in Figure 17, more eddy currents will be
generated.
Figure 17. Metal Deflection
The eddy currents create their own magnetic field, which opposes the original field generated by the inductor.
This effect reduces the effective inductance of the system, resulting in an increase in sensor frequency.
Figure 18 shows the inductance and frequency response of an example sensor with a diameter of 14 mm. As the
sensitivity of an inductive sensor increases with closer targets, the conductive plate should be placed quite close
to the sensor—typically 10% of the sensor diameter for circular coils. For rectangular or race-track-shaped coils,
the target to sensor distance should typically be less than 10% of the shorter side of the coil.

The output DATAn registers (Addresses 0x02 through 0x09) of the LDC2112/LDC2114 contain the processed
values of the changes in sensor frequencies.
8.1.2 Designing Sensor Parameters
Each inductive touch button uses an LC resonator sensor, as illustrated in Figure 19, where L is the inductor, C
is the capacitor, and RS is the AC series resistance of the sensor at the frequency of operation. The key
parameters of the LC sensor include frequency, effective parallel resistance RP, and quality factor Q. These
parameters must be within the ranges as specified in the Sensor section of the Electrical Characteristics table.
Note that the effective RP and Q changes when the conductive target is in place.

Figure 20. Equivalent Parallel Circuit
RP can be viewed as the load on the sensor driver. This load corresponds to the current drive needed to maintain
the oscillation amplitude. RP must be between 350 Ω and 10 kΩ.
In summary, the LDC2112/LDC2114 requires that the sensor parameters are within the following ranges when
the conductive target is present:
• 1 MHz ≤ fSENSOR ≤ 30 MHz
• 5 ≤ Q ≤ 30
• 350 Ω ≤ RP ≤ 10 kΩ
8.1.3 Setting COM Pin Capacitor
The COM pin requires a bypass capacitor to ground. The capacitor should be a low ESL, low ESR type. CCOM
must be sized so that the following relationship is valid for all channels.
100 × CSENSORn / QSENSORn < CCOM < 1250 × CSENSORn / QSENSORn
(4)
The value of QSENSORn when the sensor is at the minimum target distance should be used. The maximum
acceptable value for CCOM is 20 nF. The CCOM range for a particular sensor configuration can be obtained with
the Spiral_Inductor_Designer tab of the LDC Calculations Tool.
8.1.4 Defining Power-On Timing
The low power architecture of the LDC2112/LDC2114 makes it possible for the device to be active all the time.
When not being used, the LDC2112/LDC2114 can operate in Low Power Mode with a single standby power
button, which typically consumes less than 10 µA. If additional power-saving is desired, or in the rare event
where a power-on reset becomes necessary (see I2C Interface), the output data will become ready after 50 ms
startup time, about 1 ms optional register loading time, and two sampling windows for all active channels. The
power-on timing of the LDC2112/LDC2114 is illustrated in Figure 21 below.
Only Channels 0 and 1 are enabled. Scan rate: 40 SPS.

8.1.5 Configuring Button Scan Rate
The LDC2112/LDC2114 periodically samples all active channels at the selected scan rate. The device can
operate at eight different scan rates to meet various power consumption requirements, where a lower scan rate
achieves lower power consumption. In Normal Power Mode, the scan rate can be programmed to 80, 40, 20, or
10 SPS through Register NP_SCAN_RATE (Address 0x0D). In Low Power Mode, the scan rate can be
programmed to 5, 2.5, 1.25, or 0.625 SPS through Register LP_SCAN_RATE (Address 0x0F). The mode is
selected by setting the LPWRB pin to VDD (Normal Power) or ground (Low Power). In either mode, each button
can be independently enabled through a bit in Register EN (Address 0x0C). For typical distribution of the scan
rates, refer to Figure 9.

8.1.6 Programming Button Sampling Window
The button sampling window is the actual duration per scan cycle for active data sampling of the sensor
frequency. It is programmed with the exponential parameter, LCDIV, in Register LC_DIVIDER (Address 0x17),
and the individual linear sensor cycle counter SENCYCn (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3) in Registers SENSORn_CONFIG (n =
0, 1, 2, or 3, Addresses 0x20, 0x22, 0x24, 0x26). For most touch button applications, the button sampling
window should be set to between 1 ms and 8 ms. The recommended minimum sensor conversion time is 1 ms.
Longer conversion time can be used to achieve better signal-to-noise ratio if needed. If multiple channels are
enabled, the active channels will sample sequentially, as illustrated in Figure 22.

In the equation above, LCDIV (0 to 7, default 3) is the exponential LC divider that sets the approximate ranges
for all channels, and SENCYCn (0 to 31, default 4) is the linear sensor cycle scaler that fine-tunes each
individual channel. Together they set the number of sensor oscillation cycles used to determine the button
sampling window.
For example, if the LC sensor frequency is 9.2 MHz, and it is desirable to get 1 ms button sampling window, then
this can be achieved by setting SENCYCn = 17 and LCDIV = 2.
Alternatively, from the button sampling window and sensor frequency, the LCDIV can be read off from Figure 23.
For example, 1 ms button sampling window and 9.2 MHz sensor frequency intersect at the region where LCDIV
= 2. Then SENCYCn can be calculated accordingly.

8.1.8 Setting Button Triggering Threshold
Every material shows some hysteresis when it deforms then returns to the original state. The amount of
hysteresis is a function of material properties and physical parameters, such as size and thickness. This feature
modifies the hysteresis of the button signal threshold according to different materials and various button shapes
and sizes. Hysteresis can be programmed in Register HYST (Address 0x18). By default, the button triggering
hysteresis is set to 32. The nominal button triggering threshold is 128. With hysteresis, the effective on-threshold
is 128 + 32 = 160. This means if the DATAn (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3) reaches 160, the LDC considers that as a button
press. When the DATAn decreases to 128 – 32 = 96, the LDC considers the button to be released.

8.1.9 Tracking Baseline
The LDC2112/LDC2114 automatically tracks slow changes in the baseline signal and compensates for
environmental drifts and variations. In Normal Power Mode, the effective baseline increment per scan cycle
(BINCNP) can be determined by Equation 9:
BINCNP
2NPBI
72
where:
•
NPBI is the Normal Power Baseline Increment index that can be configured in Register NP_BASE_INC (Address
0x15).

In Low Power Mode, the effective baseline increment per scan cycle (BINCLP) can be determined by
Equation 10:
BINCLP
2LPBI
9
where:
•
LPBI the Low Power Baseline Increment index that can be configured in Register LP_BASE_INC (Address 0x13).
(10)
As a result of baseline tracking, a button press with a constant force only lasts for a finite amount of time. The
duration of a button press is defined by Equation 11 (DATAn > ThresholdON).
DATAn ThresholdOFF

BINC
where:
•
•
•
Duration of Button Press is the number of scan cycles that the channel is asserted,

BINC is the baseline increment per scan cycle.

8.1.10 Mitigating False Button Detections
The LDC2112/LDC2114 offers several algorithms that can mitigate false button detections due to mechanical
non-idealities associated with groups of buttons. These are listed below.
8.1.10.1 Eliminating Common-Mode Change (Anti-Common)
This algorithm eliminates false detection when a user presses the middle of two or more buttons, which could
lead to a common-mode response on multiple buttons. All the buttons can be individually enabled to have this
feature by programming Register COMMON_DEFORM (Address 0x1A).

This algorithm enables the system to select the button pressed with maximum force when multiple buttons are
pressed at the same time. This could happen when two buttons are physically very close to each other, and
pressing one causes a residual reaction on the other. Buttons can be individually enabled to join the “max-win”
group by configuring Register BTPAUSE_MAXWIN (Address 0x16).

8.1.10.3 Overcoming Case Twisting (Anti-Twist)
The anti-twist algorithm reduces the likelihood of false detection when the case is twisted, which could cause
unintended mechanical activation of the buttons, or an opposite reaction in two adjacent buttons. When this
algorithm is enabled, detection of button presses is suppressed if any button’s output data is negative by a
configurable threshold. The anti-twist algorithm can be enabled by configuring Register TWIST (Address 0x19).

8.1.10.4 Mitigating Metal Deformation (Anti-Deform)
This function filters changes due to metal deformation in the vicinity of one or more buttons. Such metal
deformation can be accidentally caused by pressing a neighboring button that does not have sufficient
mechanical isolation. The user can specify which buttons to join the anti-deform group by configuring Register
COMMON_DEFORM (Address 0x1A).
8.1.11 Reporting Interrupts for Button Presses and Error Conditions
INTB, the LDC2112/LDC2114 interrupt pin, is asserted when a button press or an error condition occurs. The
default polarity is active low and can be configured through Register INTPOL (Address 0x11).
Figure 29 shows the LDC2112/LDC2114 response to a single button press on Channel 0. At the end of the
button sampling window following a press of Button 0, the OUT0 pin and INTB pin are asserted. The
OUT_STATUS bit changes from 0 to 1, and remains so until a read of the STATUS register clears it. The OUTn
(n = 0, 1, 2, or 3) and INTB pins are asserted until the end of the button sampling window following the release of
the button.

characterized by Equation 13:
12
IACTIVEn 1.6
0.011u fSENSORn
1 16 u RPn1.21
where
•
•
•
•
IACTIVEn is the supply current in mA during active sampling,
RPn is the sensor parallel resonant impedance in kΩ,
fSENSORn is the sensor frequency in MHz, and
n is the channel index, i.e. n = 0 or 1 for LDC2112; n = 0, 1, 2, or 3 for LDC2114.
(13)
The LDC2112/LDC2114 is only actively sampling the enabled channels during a fraction of the scan window. So
the average supply current is:
1
IDD
tSCAN

IDD is the average supply current in mA,
tSCAN is the scan window (set by the scan rate) in ms,
IACTIVEn is the supply current when the device is active as defined by Equation 13, and
tSAMPLE is the button sampling window in ms.

8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Touch Button Design
The low power architecture of LDC2112/LDC2114 makes them suitable for driving button sensors in consumer
electronics, such as mobile phones. Most mobile phones today have three buttons along the edges, namely the
power button, volume up, and volume down. The LDC2112 can support two buttons, and LDC2114 can support
four.
On a typical smartphone, the two volume buttons are next to each other, so they may be susceptible to false
detections such as simultaneous button presses. To prevent such mis-triggers, they can be grouped together to
take advantage of the various features that mitigate false detections as explained in Mitigating False Button
Detections. For example, if Max-win is applied to the two volume buttons, only the one with the greater force will
be triggered.
The inductive touch solution does not require any mechanical cutouts at the button locations. This can support
reduced manufacturing cost for the phone case and enhance the case’s resistance to moisture, dust, and dirt.
This is a great advantage compared to mechanical buttons in the market today.
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The sensor parameters, including frequency, RP, and Q factor have to be within the design space of the
LDC2112/LDC2114 as specified in Electrical Characteristics.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The LDC2112/LDC2114 is a multi-channel device. The italic n in the parameters below refers to the channel
index, i.e., n = 0 or 1 for LDC2112, and n = 0, 1, 2, or 3 for LDC2114.
1. Select system-based options:
• Select Normal or Low Power Mode of operation by setting the LPWRB pin to VDD or Ground, respectively.
Configure the enable bits for all channels in Register EN (Address 0x0C).
• Select the polarities of OUTn and INTB pins by configuring Register OPOL_DPOL (Address 0x1C) and
Register INTPOL (Address 0x11).

Typical Application (continued)
•
Configure the sensor frequency setting in Registers SENSORn_CONFIG (Addresses 0x20, 0x22, 0x24,
0x26).
2. Choose the sampling rate (80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, or 0.625 SPS) based on system power consumption
requirement, and configure Register NP_SCAN_RATE (Address 0x0D) or Register LP_SCAN_RATE (Address
0x0F).
3. Choose the button sampling window based on power consumption and noise requirements (recommended: 1
ms to 8 ms). While a longer button sampling window provides better noise performance, 1 ms is typically
sufficient for most applications. Set SENCYCn and LCDIV in Registers SENSORn_CONFIG (Addresses 0x20,
0x22, 0x24, 0x26) and Register LC_DIVIDER (Address 0x17) in the following steps:
• Calculate LCDIV = ceiling (log2 (fSENSORn × tSAMPLEn) – 12), where fSENSORn is the sensor frequency in MHz,
tSAMPLEn is the button sampling window in µs
• If LCDIV < 0, set it to 0
• Adjust SENCYCn to get desired tSAMPLEn according to tSAMPLEn = 128 × (SENCYCn + 1) × 2LCDIV / fSENSORn
4. Calibrate gain in the appropriate Registers GAINn (Addresses 0x0E, 0x10, 0x12, 0x14). The gain setting can
be used to tune the sensitivity of the touch button. GAINn is a 6-bit field with 64 different gain levels
corresponding to normalized gains between 1 and 232. A good mechanical and sensor design typically requires
a gain level of around 32 to 50, corresponding to relative gains of 16 to 76 (normalized to gain level of 0). Use
the following sequence to determine the appropriate gain for each button:
• Apply minimum desired force to the button.
• Read initial DATAn value after the button press. Note that the baseline tracking will affect this value.
• Calculate gain factor needed to increase DATAn to the programmed threshold (default is 160).
• Look up the Gain Table to find the required gain setting.
5. Enable special features to mitigate button interference if there is any. Registers BTPAUSE_MAXWIN, TWIST,
COMMON_DEFORM (Addresses 0x16, 0x19, 0x1A).
For more information on inductive touch system design, including mechanical design and sensor electrical
design, refer to Inductive Touch System Design Guide.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LDC2112/LDC2114 power supply should be bypassed with a 1 µF and a 0.1 µF pair of capacitors in parallel
to ground. The capacitors should be placed as close to the LDC as possible. The smaller value 0.1 µF capacitor
should be placed closer to the VDD pin than the 1 µF capacitor. The capacitors should be a low ESL, low ESR
type. To enable close positioning of the capacitors, use of 0201 footprint devices for the bypass capacitors is
recommended for the DSBGA package.
Refer to Recommended Operating Conditions for more details.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The COM pin must be bypassed to ground with an appropriate value capacitor. For details of how to choose the
capacitor value, refer to Setting COM Pin Capacitor. CCOM should be placed as close as possible to the COM
pin. The COM signal should be tied to a small copper fill placed underneath the INn signals. The INn signals
should stay clear of other high frequency traces.
Each active channel needs to have an LC resonator connected to the corresponding INn pins. The sensor
capacitor should be placed within 10 mm of the corresponding INn pin, and the inductor (NOT shown in
Figure 32) should be placed at the appropriate location next to (but not touching) the metal target. The INn traces
should be at least 6 mil (0.15 mm) wide to minimize parasitic inductances.
For the DSBGA package, the inner four device pads (INTB, OUT3, LPWRB, and SDA) should be routed out on
an inner layer through vias, with the traces offset to reduce coupling with other signals. These four vias may
need to use blind vias or microvias to bring the signals out. The PCB layer stack should use a thinner (4 mil or
0.1 mm thickness) dielectric between the top copper and next copper layer so that microvias can be used.

10.3 DSBGA Light Sensitivity
Exposing the DSBGA device to direct light may cause incorrect operation of the device. Light sources such as
halogen lamps can affect electrical performance if they are situated in proximity to the device. Light with
wavelengths in the red and infrared part of the spectrum have the most detrimental effect.
