SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING GENERAL DESCRIPTION KEY PRODUCT FEATURES The SX8663 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 12-channel solution for capacitive touch-button matrix (up to 36 keys) and proximity applications. Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8663 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO) which can be used to drive up to 30 matrix LEDs (i.e. one per key). Each of the on-chip GPIO/LED driver is equipped with independent PWM source for enhanced visual effect such as dimming, and breathing. Complete Capacitive Touch-Button Solution The SX8663 includes a capacitive 10 bit ADC analog interface with automatic compensation up to 100pF. The high resolution capacitive sensing supports a wide variety of touch pad sizes and shapes and allows capacitive buttons to be created using thick overlay materials (up to 5mm) for an extremely robust and ESD immune system design. The SX8663 incorporates a versatile firmware that was specially designed to simplify capacitive touch solution design and offers reduced time-to-market. Integrated multi-time programmable memory provides the ultimate flexibility to modify key firmware parameters (gain, threshold, scan period, auto offset compensation) in the field without the need for new firmware development. with Auto Lightening o Configurable Single or Continuous Fading Mode o 256 steps PWM Linear and Logarithmic control Proximity Sensing up to several centimeters High Resolution Capacitive Sensing o Up to 100pF of Offset Cap.

A finger approaching the capacitive sensors will change the charge that can be loaded on the sensors. The SX8663 measures the change of charge and converts that into digital values (ticks). The larger the charge on the sensors, the larger the number of ticks will be. The charge to ticks conversion is done by the SX8663 Analog Sensor Interface (ASI). The ticks are further processed by the SX8663 and converted in a high level, easy to use information for the user’s host. The information between SX8663 and the host is passed through the I2C interface with an additional interrupt signal indicating that the SX8663 has new information. For buttons this information is simply touched or released. User feedback, done through the SX8663’s GPIOs, can be visual via LEDs and/or audio via a buzzer. 3.1.2 Parameters The SX8663 has many low level built-in, fixed algorithms and procedures. To allow a lot of freedom for the user and adapt the SX8663 for different applications these algorithms and procedures can be configured with a large set of parameters which will be described in the following sections. Sensitivity and detection thresholds of the sensors are part of these parameters. Assuming that overlay material and sensors areas are identical then the sensitivities and thresholds will be the same for each sensor. In case sensors are not of the same size then sensitivities or thresholds might be chosen individually per sensor. So a smaller size sensor can have a larger sensitivity while a big size sensor may have the lower sensitivity. 3.1.3 Configuration During a development phase the parameters can be determined and fine tuned by the users and downloaded over the I2C in a dynamic way. The parameter set can be downloaded over the I2C by the host each time the SX8663 boots up. This allows a flexible way of setting the parameters at the expense of I2C occupation. In case the parameters are frozen they can be programmed in Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile Memory (NVM) on the SX8663. The programming needs to be done once (over the I2C). The SX8663 will then boot up from the NVM and additional parameters from the host are not required anymore. In case the host desires to overwrite the boot-up NVM parameters (partly or even complete) this can be done by additional I2C communications. 3.2 Scan Period The basic operation Scan period of the SX8663 sensing interface can be split into three periods over time. In the first period (Sensing) the SX8663 is sensing all enabled CAP inputs, from CAP0 towards CAP11. In the second period (Processing) the SX8663 processes the sensor data, verifies and updates the GPIO and the I2C. In the third period (Timer) the SX8663 is set in a low power mode and waits until a new cycle starts. Figure 6 shows the different SX8663 periods over time. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 10 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 6 Scan Period The scan period determines the minimum reaction time of the SX8663. The scan period can be configured by the host from 15ms to values larger than a second. The reaction time is defined as the interval between a touch on the sensor and the moment that the SX8663 generates the interrupt on the INTB pin. The shorter the scan period the faster the reaction time will be. Very low power consumptions can be obtained by setting very long scan periods with the expense of having longer reaction times. All external events like GPIO, I2C and the interrupt are updated in the processing period, so once every scan period. 3.3 Operation modes The SX8663 has 3 operation modes. The main difference is found in the reaction time (corresponding to the scan period) and power consumption. Active mode offers fast scan periods. The typical reaction time is 30ms. All enabled sensors are scanned and information data is processed within this interval. Doze mode increases the scan period time which increases the reaction time to 195ms typical and at the same time reduces the operating current. Sleep mode turns the SX8663 OFF, except for the I2C peripheral, minimizing operating current while maintaining the power supplies. In Sleep mode the SX8663 does not do any sensor scanning. The Sleep mode will be exited by any I2C access. The user can specify other scan periods for the Active and Doze mode and decide for other compromises between reaction time and power consumption. In most applications the reaction time needs to be fast when fingers are present, but can be slow when no person uses the application. In case the SX8663 is not used for a specific time it will go from Active mode into Doze mode and power will be saved. This time-out is determined by the Passive Timer which can be configured by the user or turned OFF if not required. To leave Doze mode and enter Active mode this can be done by a simple touch on any button. The host can decide to force the operating mode by issuing commands over the I2C (using register CompOpMode) and take fully control of the SX8663. The diagram in Figure 7 shows the available operation modes and the possible transitions. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 11 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 7 Operation modes 3.4 3.4.1 Sensors on the PCB Matrix Keys/Buttons (MK) In opposition to most of the other Semtech capacitive sensing products where 1 button = 1 sensor (CAP0…CAP11)., the SX8663 requires sensors to be routed in matrix and each button is formed by the intersection/concatenation of two sensors areas. The buttons are covered by isolating overlay material (typically 1mm...3mm). The area of a button is typically one square centimetre which corresponds about to the area of a finger touching the overlay material. Figure 8 Matrix Buttons Layout/Connections (Red = Top; Brown = Inner1; Blue = Inner2) IMPORTANT: Please note that while the matrix structure allows increasing dramatically the potential maximum number of buttons (up to 36 with only 12 sensors) it also limits the operation to max one matrix button reported at a time (ie single button touch operation). When several matrix buttons are touched only the first one is reported. 3.4.2 Priority Key/Button (PK) When the priority key is enabled in BtnCfg[6], CAP11 (or CAP10 if PS=ON) can be routed outside the matrix to a separate standard button sensor. Matrix size is then reduced to 6x5 keys (or 5x5 if PS is ON). Priority key operation/reporting is independent from the matrix and can be used for any “high priority” key (Power, Reset, etc) or “multi-touch” function (Shift, Alt, etc). th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 12 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.4.3 Proximity Sensor (PS) When the proximity sensor is enable in ProxCfg[7], CAP11 can be routed to a separate proximity sensor which is usually surrounding all buttons as illustrated in figure below.

Figure 11 Buttons A finger touch is reported as soon as the ASI ticks of both sensors forming the button exceed their user-defined threshold plus a hysteresis. A finger release is reported as soon as the ASI ticks of at least one of the sensors forming the button goes below its user-defined threshold minus a hysteresis. The hysteresis around the threshold avoids rapid touch and release signalling during transients. IMPORTANT: Please note that while the matrix structure allows increasing dramatically the potential maximum number of buttons (up to 36 with only 12 sensors) it also limits the operation to max one matrix button reported at a time (ie single button touch operation). When two matrix buttons are touched only the first one is reported. Note that the principle of proximity sensing (PS) operation is exactly the same as for touch buttons except that proximity sensing is done several centimeters above the overlay through the air. ON state means that finger/hand is detected by the sensor and OFF state means the finger/hand is far from the sensor and not detected. 3.6 Analog Sensing Interface The Analog Sensing Interface (ASI) converts the charge on the sensors into ticks which will be further digitally processed. The basic principle of the ASI will be explained in this section. The ASI consists of a multiplexer selecting the sensor, analog switches, a reference voltage, an ADC sigma delta converter, an offset compensation DAC and an external integration capacitor (see Figure 12). Figure 12 Analog Sensor Interface th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 15 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING To get the ticks representing the charge on a specific sensor the ASI will execute several steps. The charge on a sensor cap (e.g CAP0) will be accumulated multiple times on the external integration capacitor, Cint. This results in an increasing voltage on Cint proportional to the capacitance on CAP0. At this stage the offset compensation DAC is enabled. The compensation DAC generates a voltage proportional to an estimation of the external capacitance. The estimation is obtained by the offset compensation procedure executed e.g. at power-up. The difference between the DAC output and the charge on Cint is the desired signal. In the ideal case the difference of charge will be converted to zero ticks if no finger is present and the number of ticks becomes high in case a finger is present. The difference of charge on Cint and the DAC output will be transferred to the ADC (Sigma Delta Integrator). After the charge transfer to the ADC the steps above will be repeated. The larger the number the cycles are repeated the larger the signal out of the ADC with improved SNR. The sensitivity is therefore directly related to the number of cycles. The SX8663 allows setting the sensitivity for each sensor individually in applications which have a variety of sensors sizes or different overlays or for fine-tuning performances. The optimal sensitivity is depending heavily on the final application. If the sensitivity is too low the ticks will not pass the thresholds and user detection will not be possible. In case the sensitivity is set too large, some power will be wasted and false touch information may be output (i.e. for touch buttons => finger not touching yet). Once the ASI has finished the first sensor, the ticks are stored and the ASI will start measuring the next sensor until all (enabled) sensors pins have been treated. In case some sensors are disabled then these result in lower power consumption simply because the ASI is active for a shorter period and the following processing period will be shorter. The ticks from the ASI will then be handled by the digital processing. The ASI will shut down and wait until new sensing period will start. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 16 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.7 Offset Compensation The capacitance at the CAP pins is determined by an intrinsic capacitance of the integrated circuit, the PCB traces, ground coupling and the sensor planes. This capacitance is relatively large and might become easily some tens of pF. This parasitic capacitance will vary only slowly over time due to environmental changes. A finger touch is in the order of one pF. If the finger approaches the sensor this occurs typically fast. The ASI has the difficult task to detect and distinguish a small, fast changing capacitance, from a large, slow varying capacitance. This would require a very precise, high resolution ADC and complicated, power consuming, digital processing. The SX8663 features a 16 bit DAC which compensates for the large, slow varying capacitance already in front of the ADC. In other words the ADC converts only the desired small signal. In the ideal world the ADC will put out zero ticks even if the external capacitance is as high as 100pF. At each power-up of the SX8663 the Digital Compensation Values (DCV) are estimated by the digital processing algorithms. The algorithm will adjust the compensation values such that zero ticks will be generated by the ADC. Once the correct compensation values are found these will be stored and used to compensate each CAP pin. If the SX8663 is shut down the compensation values will be lost. At a next power-up the procedure starts all over again. This assures that the SX8663 will operate under any condition. Powering up at e.g. different temperatures will not change the performance of the SX8663 and the host does not have to do anything special. The DCVs do not need to be updated if the external conditions remain stable. However if e.g. temperature changes this will influence the external capacitance. The ADC ticks will drift then slowly around zero values basically because of the mismatch of the compensation circuitry and the external capacitance. In case the average value of the ticks become higher than the positive noise threshold (configurable by user) or lower than the negative threshold (configurable by user) then the SX8663 will initiate a compensation procedure and find a new set of DCVs. Compensation procedures can as well be initiated by the SX8663 on periodic intervals. Even if the ticks remain within the positive and negative noise thresholds the compensation procedure will then estimate new sets of DCVs. Finally the host can initiate a compensation procedure by using the I2C interface. This is e.g. required after the host changed the sensitivity of sensors. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 17 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.8 Processing The first processing step of the raw ticks, coming out of the ASI, is low pass filtering to obtain an estimation of the average capacitance: tick-ave (see Figure 13). This slowly varying average is important in the detection of slowly changing environmental changes. ASI processing SPM processing ticks (raw) tick-diff PWM LED controller tick-ave GPIO controller low pass I2C compensation DCV Figure 13 Processing The difference of the tick average and the raw ticks, tick-diff, is a good estimation of rapid changing input capacitances. The tick-diff, tick-ave and the configuration parameters in the SPM are then processed and determines the sensor information, I2C registers status and PWM control. 3.9 Configuration Figure 14 shows the building blocks used for configuring the SX8663. Figure 14 Configuration The default configuration parameters of the SX8663 are stored in the Quick Start Memory (QSM). This configuration data is setup to a very common application for the SX8663 with 8 buttons. Without any programming or host interaction the SX8663 will start up in the Quick Start Application. The QSM settings are fixed and cannot be changed by the user. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 18 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING In case the application needs different settings than the QSM settings then the SX8663 can be setup and/or programmed over the I2C interface. The configuration parameters of the SX8663 can be stored in the Multiple Time Programmable (MTP) Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The NVM contains all those parameters that are defined and stable for the application. Examples are the number of sensors enabled, sensitivity, active and Doze scan period. The details of these parameters are described in the next chapters. At power up the SX8663 checks if the NVM contains valid data. In that case the configuration parameter source becomes the NVM. If the NVM is empty or non-valid then the configuration source becomes the QSM. In the next step the SX8663 copies the configuration parameter source into the Shadow Parameter Memory (SPM). The SX8663 is operational and uses the configuration parameters of the SPM. During power down or reset event the SPM loses all content. It will automatically be reloaded following power up or at the end of the reset event. The host will interface with the SX8663 through the I2C bus and the analog output interface. The I2C of the SX8663 consists of 16 registers. Some of these I2C registers are used to read the status and information of the buttons. Other I2C registers allow the host to take control of the SX8663. The host can e.g. decide to change the operation mode from active mode to Doze mode or go into sleep (according Figure 7). Two additional modes allow the host to have an access to the SPM or indirect access to the NVM. These modes are required during development, can be used in real time or in-field programming. Figure 15 shows the Host SPM mode. In this mode the host can decide to overwrite the SPM. This is useful during the development phases of the application where the configuration parameters are not yet fully defined and as well during the operation of the application if some parameters need small deviations from the QSM or NVM content. Figure 15 Host SPM mode The content of the SPM remains valid as long as the SX8663 is powered. After a power down the host needs to re-write the SPM at the next power-up. Figure 16 shows the Host NVM mode. In this mode the host will be able to write the NVM. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 19 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 16 Host NVM mode The writing of the host towards the NVM is not done directly but done in 2 steps (Figure 16). In the first step the host writes to the SPM (as in Figure 15). In the second step the host signals the SX8663 to copy the SPM content into the NVM. Initially the NVM memory is empty and it is required to determine a valid parameter set for the application. This can be done during the development phase using dedicated evaluation hardware representing the final application. This development phase uses probably initially the host SPM mode which allows faster iterations. Once the parameter set is determined this can be written to the NVM over the I2C using the 2 steps approach by the host or a dedicated programmer for large volumes production (as described in the paragraphs 6.6 and 6.7). 3.10 Power Management The SX8663 uses on-chip voltage regulators which are controlled by the on-chip microprocessor. The regulators need to be stabilized with an external capacitor between VANA and ground and between VDIG and ground (see Table 5). Both regulators are designed to only drive the SX8663 internal circuitry and must not be loaded externally. 3.11 Clock Circuitry The SX8663 has its own internal clock generation circuitry that does not require any external components. The clock circuitry is optimized for low power operation and is controlled by the on-chip microprocessor. The typical operating frequency of the oscillating core is 16.7MHz from which all other lower frequencies are derived. 3.12 I2C interface The I2C interface allows the communication between the host and the SX8663. The I2C slave implemented on the SX8663 is compliant with the standard (100kb/s) and fast mode (400kb/s) The default SX8663 I2C address equals 0b010 1011. A different I2C address can be programmed by the user in the NVM. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 20 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.13 Interrupt 3.13.1 Power up During power up the INTB is kept low. Once the power up sequence is terminated the INTB is cleared autonomously. The SX8663 is then ready for operation. Figure 17 Power Up vs. INTB During the power on period the SX8663 stabilizes the internal regulators, RC clocks and the firmware initializes all registers. During the power up the SX8663 is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden. The GPIOs set as inputs with a pull up resistor. As soon as the INTB rises the SX8663 will be ready for I2C communication. The GPIOs are then configured according the parameters in the SPM. The value of INTB before power up depends on the INTB pull up resistor supply voltage. 3.13.2 Assertion INTB is updated in Active or Doze mode once every scan period. The INTB will be asserted at the following events: • if a Button event occurred (touch or release if enabled). I2C register CapStatKeys show the detailed status of the Buttons, • when actually entering Active or Doze mode via a host request (may be delayed by 1 scan period). I2C register CompOpmode shows the current operation mode, • once compensation procedure is completed either through automatic trigger or via host request (may be delayed by 1 scan period), • once SPM write is effective (may be delayed by 1 scan period), • once NVM burn procedure is completed (may be delayed by 1 scan period), • during reset (power up, hardware RESETB, software reset). 3.13.3 Clearing The clearing of the INTB is done as soon as the host performs a read to any of the SX8663 I2C registers. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 21 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 3.13.4 Example A typical example of the assertion and clearing of the INTB and the I2C communication is shown in Figure 18. Figure 18 Interrupt and I2C When a button is touched the SX8663 will assert the interrupt (1). The host will read the SX8663 status information over the I2C (2) and this clears the interrupt. If the finger releases the button the interrupt will be asserted (3), the host reads the status (4) which clears the interrupt. In case the host will not react to an interrupt then this will result in a missing touch. 3.14 Reset The reset can be performed by 3 sources: - power up, - RESETB pin, - software reset. 3.14.1 Power up During power up the INTB is kept low. Once the power up sequence is terminated the INTB is released autonomously. The SX8663 is then ready for operation. Figure 19 Power Up vs. INTB th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 22 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING During the power on period the SX8663 stabilizes the internal regulators, RC clocks and the firmware initializes all registers. During the power up the SX8663 is not accessible and I2C communications are forbidden. As soon as the INTB rises the SX8663 will be ready for I2C communication. 3.14.2 RESETB When RESETB is driven low the SX8663 will reset and start the power up sequence as soon as RESETB is driven high or pulled high. In case the user does not require a hardware reset control pin then the RESETB pin can be connected to VDD. Figure 20 Hardware Reset 3.14.3 Software Reset To perform a software reset the host needs to write 0xDE followed by 0x00 at the SoftReset register at address 0xB1.

GPIO7 only; in this mode the GPIO can be connected to an external buzzer. The input state of the GPIO is only used during the initial phase of the power up period. Each of these GPIO modes is described in more details in the following sections. The polarity of the GPO pins is defined as in figure below, driving an LED as example. It has to be set accordingly in SPM parameter GpioPolarity. Figure 22 polarity = 1/Normal (a), polarity = 0/Inverted (b) The PWM blocks used GPO modes are 8-bits based and clocked at 2MHz typ. hence offering 256 selectable pulse width values with a granularity of 0.5us typ. Figure 23 PWM definition, (a) small pulse width, (b) large pulse width 3.15.1 GPO GPIOs configured as GPO will operate as digital outputs which can generate both standard low/high logic levels and PWM low/high duty cycles levels. Typical application is LED ON/OFF control. Transitions between ON and OFF states can be triggered either automatically (Autolight ON) or manually by the host (Autolight OFF). This is illustrated in figures below. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 24 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 24 LED Control in GPO mode, Autolight OFF Figure 25 LED Control in GPO mode, Autolight ON Additionally these transitions can be configured to be done with or without fading following a logarithmic or linear function. This is illustrated in figures below. Figure 26 GPO ON transition (LED fade in), normal polarity, (a) linear, (b) logarithmic Figure 27 GPO ON transition (LED fade in), inverted polarity, (a) linear, (b) logarithmic The fading out (e.g. after a button is released) is identical to the fading in but an additional off delay can be added before the fading starts (Figure 28 and Figure 29). th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 25 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 28 GPO OFF transition (LED fade out), normal polarity, (a) linear, (b) logarithmic Figure 29 GPO OFF transition (LED fade out), inverted polarity, (a) linear, (b) logarithmic Please note that standard high/low logic signals are just a specific case of GPO mode and can also be generated simply by setting inc/dec time to 0 (i.e. OFF) and programming intensity OFF/ON to 0x00 and 0xFF. 3.15.2 Fading Modes The SX8663 supports two different fading modes, namely Single and Continuous. These fading modes can be configured for each GPIO individually. Please see 5.7 “GPIO Parameters” for more information on how to configure this feature. i) Single Fading Mode: The GPO pin fades in when the associated button is touched and it fades out when it is released. This is shown in Figure 30 OFF OFF ON ON intensity OFF intensity OFF intensity fading-in delay_off fading-out Figure 30 Single Fading Mode ii) Continuous Fading Mode: th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 26 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING The GPO pin fades in and fades out continuously when the associated button is touched. The fading in and out stops when the button is released. This is shown in Figure 31.

To make this possible with the limited GPIOs available a Tri-State Multiplexing driver has been implemented on chip and a specific LED matrix connection must be followed for correct operation. Figure 32 Tri-State Multiplexing Schematics (DMKx = LED of button MKx, Cf Figure 50) Whenever set to GPO with Autolight ON, GPIO0-6 (GPIO0-5 if PK is enabled) are automatically configured for TSM operation. If only PS is enabled the matrix is reduced to 6x5 LEDs, DMK31-36 can be removed and GPIO6 is available. If both PS and PK are enabled the matrix is reduced to 5x5 LEDs, DMK26-36 can be removed and GPIO6 is automatically used for PK independent LED feedback (if Autoligth ON, else can be controlled by the host). In addition to the standard individual button touch/release, if PS is enabled and ProxCfg[4:2] != 000 the remaining DMKx (6x5 or 5x5) will partially turn ON when proximity is detected as illustrated in figure below. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 28 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Figure 33 Typical Tri-State Multiplexing Behavior when Proximity Sensing is Enabled th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 29 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 4 PIN DESCRIPTIONS 4.1 Introduction This chapter describes briefly the pins of the SX8663, the way the pins are protected, if the pins are analog, digital, require pull up or pull down resistors and show control signals if these are available. 4.2 ASI pins CAP0, CAP1,...,CAP11 The capacitance sensor pins (CAP0, CAP1,..., CAP11) are connected directly to the ASI circuitry which converts the sensed capacitance into digital values. The capacitance sensor pins which are not used should be left open. The enabled CAP pins need be connected directly to the sensors without significant resistance (typical below some ohms, connection vias are allowed). The capacitance sensor pins are protected to VANA and GROUND. Figure 34 shows the simplified diagram of the CAP0, CAP1,...CAP11 pins.

This chapter describes the details of the configuration parameters of the SX8663. The SPM is split by functionality into 5 configuration sections: • General: operating modes, • Capacitive Sensors: related to lower level capacitive sensing, • Buttons (MK and PK): related to the conversion from sensor data towards button information, • Buzzer: defining parameters for the buzzer • GPIOs: related to the setup of the GPIO pins. The total address space of the SPM and the NVM is 128 bytes, from address 0x00 to address 0x7F. Two types of memory addresses, data are accessible to the user. • ‘application data’: Application dependent data that need to be configured by the user. • ‘reserved’: Data that need to be maintained by the user to the QSM default values (i.e. when NVM is burned). The Table 9 and Table 10 resume the complete SPM address space and show the ‘application data’ and ‘reserved’ addresses, the functional split and the default values (loaded from the QSM). th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 36 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Address Name Default/QSM value Address 0x00 Reserved 0xxx 0x20 Reserved 0x00 0x01 Reserved 0xxx 0x21 Reserved 0x00 0x02 Reserved 0x43 0x22 BtnCfg 0x30 0x03 Reserved Name Default/QSM value BtnAvgThresh 0x50 0x2B 0x24 BtnCompNegThresh 0xA0 0x05 ActiveScanPeriod 0x02 0x25 BtnCompNegCntMax 0x01 DozeScanPeriod 0x0D 0x26 BtnHysteresis 0x0A 0x06 Buttons 0x23 I2CAddress General 0xxx 0x04 0x00 0x27 BtnStuckAtTimeout 0x00 Reserved 0x00 0x28 Reserved 0x80 0x09 CapModeMisc 0x00 0x29 Reserved 0x00 0x0A Reserved 0x55 0x2A Reserved 0xFF 0x0B Reserved 0x55 0x2B Reserved 0x00 0x0C Reserved 0x55 0x2C ProxCfg 0x7D 0x0D CapSensitivity0_1 0x44 0x2D ProxDebounce 0x00 0x0E CapSensitivity2_3 0x44 0x2E ProxHysteresis 0x0A 0x0F CapSensitivity4_5 0x44 0x2F Reserved 0x00 0x10 CapSensitivity6_7 0x44 0x30 Reserved 0x64 0x11 CapSensitivity8_9 0x44 0x31 Reserved 0x34 Capacitive Sensors Proximity PassiveTimer 0x08 0x07 0x44 0x32 ProxAvgThresh 0x50 0xA0 0x33 ProxCompNegThresh 0xA0 CapThresh1 0xA0 0x34 ProxCompNegCntMax 0x01 CapThresh2 0xA0 0x35 ProxStuckAtTimeout 0x00 CapThresh3 0xA0 0x36 Reserved 0x00 0x17 CapThresh4 0xA0 0x37 BuzzerCfg 0xA4 0x18 CapThresh5 0xA0 0x38 BuzzerFreqPhase1 0x40 0x19 CapThresh6 0xA0 0x39 BuzzerFreqPhase2 0x20 0x1A CapThresh7 0xA0 0x3A Reserved 0x00 0x1B CapThresh8 0xA0 0x3B Reserved 0x00 0x1C CapThresh9 0xA0 0x3C Reserved 0x00 0x1D CapThresh10 0xA0 0x3D Reserved 0x00 0x1E CapThresh11 0xA0 0x3E Reserved 0x00 0x1F CapPerComp 0x00 0x3F Reserved 0x00 0x13 0x14 0x15 0x16 Buzzer CapSensitivity10_11 CapThresh0 0x12 Table 9 SPM address map: 0x00…0x3F Note • ‘0xxx’: th write protected data Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 37 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Address Name Default/QSM value Address Name Default/QSM value 0x00 0x60 GpioDecTime7_6 0x44 Reserved 0x00 0x61 GpioDecTime5_4 0x44 0x42 Reserved 0x00 0x62 GpioDecTime3_2 0x44 0x43 GpioMode7_4 0x00 0x63 GpioDecTime1_0 0x44 0x44 GpioMode3_0 0x00 0x64 GpioOffDelay7_6 0x00 0x45 GpioIntensityOn0 0xFF 0x65 GpioOffDelay5_4 0x00 0x46 GpioIntensityOn1 0xFF 0x66 GpioOffDelay3_2 0x00 0x47 GpioIntensityOn2 0xFF 0x67 GpioOffDelay1_0 0x00 0x48 GpioIntensityOn3 0xFF 0x68 Reserved 0x00 0x49 GpioIntensityOn4 0xFF 0x69 Reserved 0x00 0x4A GpioIntensityOn5 0xFF 0x6A Reserved 0x00 0x4B GpioIntensityOn6 0xFF 0x6B Reserved 0x00 0x4C GpioIntensityOn7 0xFF 0x6C Reserved 0x00 0x4D GpioIntensityOff0 0x00 0x6D GpioFadingMode7_4 0x00 0x4E GpioIntensityOff1 0x00 0x6E GpioFadingMode3_0 0x00 0x4F GpioIntensityOff2 0x00 0x6F Reserved 0x50 0x50 GpioIntensityOff3 0x00 0x70 Reserved 0x74 GpioIntensityOff4 0x00 0x71 Reserved 0x10 GpioIntensityOff5 0x00 0x72 Reserved 0x45 0x53 GpioIntensityOff6 0x00 0x73 Reserved 0x02 0x54 GpioIntensityOff7 0x00 0x74 Reserved 0xFF 0x55 Reserved 0xFF 0x75 Reserved 0xFF 0x56 GpioOutPwrUp 0x00 0x76 Reserved 0xFF 0x57 GpioAutoLight 0xFF 0x77 Reserved 0xD5 0x58 GpoPolarity 0x7F 0x78 Reserved 0x55 0x59 GpioFunction 0x00 0x79 Reserved 0x55 0x5A GpioIncFactor 0x00 0x7A Reserved 0x7F 0x5B GpioDecFactor 0x00 0x7B Reserved 0x23 0x5C GpioIncTime7_6 0x00 0x7C Reserved 0x22 0x5D GpioIncTime5_4 0x00 0x7D Reserved 0x41 0x5E GpioIncTime3_2 0x00 0x7E Reserved 0xFF 0x51 0x52 GpioIncTime1_0 0x5F 0x00 0x7F GPIOs Reserved 0x41 GPIOs 0x40 SpmCrc 1 0xXX Table 10 SPM address map: 0x40…0x7F 1 Note • SpmCrc: th Rev5 4 August 2011 CRC depending on SPM content, updated in Active or Doze mode. © 2011 Semtech Corp. 38 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 5.2 General Parameters General Parameters Address Name Bits Description 0x04 I2CAddress 7 Reserved (0) 6:0 Defines the I2C address.

At the end of the sensing activity, GPIOs activity resume normally. CapModeMisc By default the ASI uses common sensitivity for all capacitive sensors in the case overlay material and sensors sizes are about equal. The register bits CapSensitivity0_1[7:4] determine the sensitivity for all sensors in common sensitivity mode. The ASI can use an individual sensitivity for each CAP pin The individual sensitivity mode results in longer sensing periods than required in common sensitivity mode. CapSensitivity0_1, CapSensitivity10_11 CapSensitivity2_3, CapSensitivity4_5, CapSensitivity6_7, CapSensitivity8_9, The sensitivity of the sensors can be set between 8 values. The higher the sensitivity is set the larger the value of the ticks will be. The minimum sensitivity can be used for thin overlay materials and large sensors, while the maximum sensitivity is required for thicker overlay and smaller sensors. The required sensitivity needs to be determined during a product development phase. Too low sensitivity settings result in missing touches. Too high sensitivity settings will result in fault detection of fingers hovering above the touch sensors. The sensitivity is identical for all sensors in common sensitivity mode using the bits CapSensitivity0_1[7:4] and can be set individually using register CapModeMisc[2:0]. CapThresh0, CapThresh1, CapThresh2, CapThresh3, CapThresh4, CapThresh5, CapThresh6, CapThresh7, CapThresh8, CapThresh9, CapThresh10, CapThresh11: For each CAP pin a threshold level can be set individually. The threshold levels are used by the SX8663 for making touch and release decisions. The details are explained in the sections for buttons. CapPerComp The SX8663 offers a periodic offset compensation for applications which are subject to substantial environmental changes.

Figure 45 shows an example of a touch and a release. The ticks will vary slightly around the zero idle state. When the touch occurs the ticks will rise sharply. At the release of the button the ticks will go down rapidly and converge to the idle zero value. Figure 45 Touch and Release Example As soon as the ticks become larger than the CAP thresholds (see registers of the previous section) plus the hysteresis (defined in register BtnHysteresis ) the debounce counter starts. In the example of Figure 45 the touch is validated after 2 ticks (BtnCfg [2:0] = 1). The release is detected immediately (BtnCfg [3] = 0) at the first tick which is below the threshold minus the hysteresis. BtnCfg The user can select to have the interrupt signal (INTB) on touching a button, releasing a button or both. In noisy environments it may be required to debounce the touch and release detection decision. In case the debounce is enabled the SX8663 will count up to the number of debounce samples BtnCfg [1:0], BtnCfg [3:2] before taking a touch or release decision. The sample period is identical to the scan period. BtnAvgPosThresh Small environmental and system noise cause the ticks to vary slowly around the zero idle mode value. In case the ticks get slightly positive this is considered as normal operation. Very large positive tick values indicate a valid touch. The averaging filter is disabled as soon as the average reaches the value defined by th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 43 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING BtnAvgPosThresh. This mechanism avoids that a valid touch will be averaged and finally the tick difference becomes zero. In case three or more sensors reach the BtnAvgPosThresh value simultaneously then the SX8663 will start an offset compensation procedure. ticks_avg Small environmental and system noise cause the ticks to vary slowly around the zero idle mode value. In case the ticks get slightly negative this is considered as normal operation. However large negative values will trigger an offset compensation phase and a new set of DCVs will be obtained. The decision to trigger a compensation phase based on negative ticks is determined by the value in the register BtnCompNegThresh and by the number of ticks below the negative thresholds defined in register BtnCompNegCntMax. An example is shown in Figure 46. Figure 46 Negative Ticks Offset Compensation Trigger BtnCompNegThresh Small negative ticks are considered as normal operation and will occur very often. Larger negative ticks however need to be avoided and a convenient method is to trigger an offset compensation phase. The new set of DCV will assure the idle ticks will be close to zero again. A trade-off has to be found for the value of this register. A negative threshold too close to zero will trigger a compensation phase very often. A very negative threshold will never trigger. BtnCompNegCntMax As soon as the ticks get smaller than the Negative Threshold the Negative Counter starts to count. If the counter goes beyond the Negative Counter Max then the offset compensation phase is triggered. The recommended value for this register is ‘1’ which means that the offset compensation starts on the first tick below the negative threshold. BtnHysteresis The hysteresis percentage is identical for all buttons. A touch is detected if the ticks are getting larger as the value defined by: CapThreshold + CapThreshold * hysteresis. A release is detected if the ticks are getting smaller as the value defined by: CapThreshold - CapThreshold * hysteresis. BtnStuckAtTimeout The stuckat timer can avoid sticky buttons. If the stuckat timer is set to one second then the touch of a finger will last only for one second and then a compensation will be performed and button hence considered released, even if the finger remains on the button for a longer time. After the actual finger release the button can be touched again and will be reported as usual. In case the stuckat timer is not required it can be set to zero. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 44 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 5.5 Proximity (PS) Parameters Proximity Parameters Address Name Bits Description 0x2B Reserved 7:0 Reserved (0x00) 0x2C ProxCfg 7 Proximity enable: 0: OFF (PK=CAP11 if enabled) (default) 1: ON (PS = CAP11; PK =CAP10 if enabled) 6:5 Prox events to be reported on NIRQ: 00 : None 01 : Close (same as touch for buttons) 10 : Far (same as release for buttons) 11 : Both (default) 4:2 Defines the MK LEDs intensity during proximity “close” : 000: OFF, proximity status reported on GPIO7 (if set as GPO + Autoligth ON) 001: 3% 010: 5% 011: 8% 100: 10% 101: 12% 110 : 14% 111: 16% (default) 1 Reserved 0 Defines the Prox LED (GPIO7) status when a button (MK or PK) is touched: 0: OFF 1: ON (default) 7:4 Defines the delay between proximity “far” and start of fading out of MK LEDs (single fading) 0x0: instantaneous (default) 0x1: 200 ms 0x2: 400 ms 0x3: 600ms … 0xA: 2s 0xB: 4s 0xC: 6s 0xD: 8s 0xE: 10s 0xF: 12s 3:2 Defines the number of samples at the scan period for determining proximity “far” status. 00 : no debounce, use incoming sample (default) 01 : 2 samples debounce 10 : 3 samples debounce 11 : 4 samples debounce 1:0 Defines the number of samples at the scan period for determining proximity “close” status. 00 : no debounce, use incoming sample (default) 01 : 2 samples debounce 10 : 3 samples debounce 11 : 4 samples debounce 7:0 Defines the proximity hysteresis corresponding to a percentage of the CAP thresholds (defined in Table 12). 0x00: 0% 0x01: 1% … 0x0A: 10% (default) … 0x2D ProxDebounce 0x2E ProxHysteresis th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 45 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING Proximity Parameters Address Name Bits Description 0x64: 100% 0x2F Reserved 7:0 Reserved (0x00) 0x30 Reserved 7:0 Reserved (0x64) 0x31 Reserved 7:0 Reserved (0x34) 0x32 ProxAvgThresh 7:0 Defines the positive threshold for disabling the processing filter averaging.

The default address can be changed in the NVM at address 0x04. The host can use the I2C to read and write data at any time. The effective changes will be applied at the next processing phase (section 3.2). Three types of registers are considered: - status (read). These registers give information about the status of the capacitive buttons, GPIs, operation modes etc… - control (read/write). These registers control the soft reset, operating modes, GPIOs and offset compensation. - SPM gateway (read/write). These registers are used for the communication between host and the SPM. The SPM gateway communication is done typically at power up and is not supposed to be changed when the application is running. The SPM needs to be re-stored each time the SX8663 is powered down. The SPM can be stored permanently in the NVM memory of the SX8663. The SPM gateway communication over the I2C at power up is then not required. The I2C will be able to read and write from a start address and then perform read or writes sequentially, and the address increments automatically. The supported I2C access formats are described in the next sections. 6.1 I2C Write The format of the I2C write is given in Figure 48. After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The SX8663 then acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the master sends an 8 bit Data Byte consisting of the SX8663 Register Address (RA). The slave acknowledges [A] and the master sends the appropriate 8 bit Data Byte (WD0). Again the slave acknowledges [A]. In case the master needs to write more data, a succeeding 8 bit Data Byte will follow (WD1), acknowledged by the slave [A]. This sequence will be repeated until the master terminates the transfer with the Stop condition [P]. Figure 48 I2C write The register address is incremented automatically when successive register data (WD1...WDn) is supplied by the master. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 51 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 6.2 I2C read The format of the I2C read is given in Figure 49. After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The SX8663 then acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data consisting of the Register Address (RA). The slave acknowledges [A] and the master sends the Repeated Start Condition [Sr]. Once again, the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘1’) indicating a Read. The SX8663 responds with acknowledge [A] and the Read Data byte (RD0). If the master needs to read more data it will acknowledge [A] and the SX8663 will send the next read byte (RD1). This sequence can be repeated until the master terminates with a NACK [N] followed by a stop [P].

Write the SPM base address to SpmBaseAddr (The base address needs to be a value modulo 8). 3. Write the eight consecutive bytes to I2C address 0, 1, 2, …7 4. Terminate by writing “000” to SpmCfg[5:3]. Figure 51 SPM write sequence The complete SPM can be written by repeating 16 times the cycles shown in Figure 51 using base addresses 0x00, 0x08, 0x10,…0x70, 0x78. Once the SPM write sequence is actually applied, the INTB pin will be asserted. The host clears the interrupt by reading any I2C register. At the same time the bit GenStatMsb[6], indicating the SPM write is done, will be cleared. th Rev5 4 August 2011 © 2011 Semtech Corp. 58 www.semtech.com SX8663 Capacitive Button Matrix (up to 36) and Proximity Controller with Individual LED Drivers and Buzzer Output ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING 6.6.2 SPM Read Sequence The SPM must always be read in blocks of 8 bytes. The sequence is described below: 1. Set the I2C in SPM mode by writing “01” to SpmCfg[5:4] and SPM read access by writing ‘1’ to SpmCfg[3]. 2. Write the SPM base address to SpmBaseAddr (The base address needs to be a value modulo 8). 3. Read the eight consecutive bytes from I2C address 0, 1, 2, …7 4.

The burning of the NVM can be done up to three times and must be done only when the SPM is completely written with the desired data. The number of times the NVM has been burned can be monitored by reading NvmCycle from the I2C register GenStatLsb[7:5]. Figure 53 Simplified Diagram NvmCycle Figure 53 shows the simplified diagram of the NvmCycle counter. The SX8663 is delivered with empty NVM and NvmCycle set to zero. The SPM points to the QSM. Each NVM burn will increase the NvmCycle. At the fourth NVM burn the SX8663 switches definitely to the QSM. The burning of the SPM into the NVM is done by executing a special sequence of four I2C commands. 1. Write the data 0x62 to the I2C register I2CKeyMsb. 2. Write the data 0x9D to the I2C register I2CKeyLsb. 3. Write the data 0xA5 to the I2C register I2CSpmBaseAddr. 4. Write the data 0x5A to the I2C register I2CSpmBaseAddr. Terminate the I2C write by a STOP. Terminate the I2C write by a STOP. Terminate the I2C write by a STOP. Terminate the I2C write by a STOP.
