having already replaced more than 3 billion buttons, capsense touch-

sensing solutions are changing the face of industrial design. They enable

designers to create the stylish products customers demand in applications

such as cell phones, Pcs, consumer electronics, white goods, automotive,

and industrial.

What’s more, capsense solutions leverage cypress’s robust Psoc®

programmable system-on-chip architecture, which accelerates time-to-market,

integrates a variety of critical system functions, and reduces boM costs.

Psoc technology also dramatically simplifies embedded system

development with a drag-and-drop design environment that provides the

unparalleled fl exibility to make changes late in the design cycle.

style and substance combine to make capsense touch-sensing solutions the

solution of choice for the world’s most successful brands.

CapSenSe TEchNoLoGY: A brEAKThrouGh IN EMbEDDED

Capsense TECHNOLOGy ExpLaINEd

capsense solutions detect the presence or absence of a

conductive object (such as a finger) by measuring changes in

capacitance. This technology lends itself equally well to buttons,

sliders, switches, touchpads, touchscreens, and proximity sensors,

taking industrial design possibilities to a much higher level.

And, thanks to built-in Psoc programmable technology, capsense

solutions are much more than meets the eye. For example, its

proximity-sensing feature can “wake” an idle system when it

detects the presence of an approaching object, such as a hand—

even through protective overlay materials several millimeters thick.

This power-saving feature is often used to illuminate LED buttons or

backlit screens that are otherwise powered off when not in use.

capsense technology can also be used as part of a measurement

and reporting solution for monitoring liquid levels in industrial

applications.

cypress’s smartsense solution is the industry’s first and only true

self-tuning system, revolutionizing the way you think about capsense.

This patent-pending solution optimizes parameters automatically

during the design process, significantly reducing development time,

while providing the most robust and quality capsense solution on

the market.

The newest capsense family from cypress (cY8c20xx6A) features

1.8V core operating voltage and ultra-low stand-by current for

power-sensitive applications. It comes in a range of package sizes

from 16 QFN to 48 QFN and flash sizes from 8k to 32k. The family

also features best-in-class noise immunity, robust water-tolerant

sensing, and smartsense auto-tuning. It includes support for a variety

of interfaces as well as functions like haptics for tactile feedback.
