4 / 28 page For example: NKE = Number of keys enabled = 20 FDIL = Fast detect integrator limit = 5 BS = Burst spacing = 0.5ms FMEA = FMEA test time = 5ms NDIL = Norm detect integrator Limit = 2 HPR = Host polling rate = 10ms The worst case response time is computed as: Tr = ((((NKE + FDIL) * BS) + FMEA) * NDIL) + HPR For the above example values: Tr = ((((20 + 5) * 0.5ms) + 5ms) * 2) + 10ms = 45ms 2.4 Oscillator The oscillator is internal to the device. There is no facility for external clocking. 2.5 Sample Capacitors; Saturation The charge sampler capacitors on the Y pins should be the values shown. They should be X7R or NP0 ceramics or PPS film. The value of these capacitors is not critical but 4.7nF is recommended for most cases. Cs voltage saturation is shown in Figure 2-1. This nonlinearity is caused by excessively negative voltage on Cs inducing conduction in the pin protection diodes. This badly saturated signal destroys key gain and introduces a strong thermal coefficient which can cause 'phantom' detection. The cause of this is usually from the burst length being too long, the Cs value being too small, or the X-Y coupling being too large. Solutions include loosening up the interdigitation of key structures, separating X and Y lines on the PCB more, increasing Cs, and decreasing the burst length. Increasing Cs will make the part slower; decreasing burst length will make it less sensitive. A better PCB layout and a looser key structure (up to a point) have no negative effects. Cs voltages should be observed on an oscilloscope with the matrix layer bonded to the panel material; if the Rs side of any Cs ramps more negative than -0.25 volts during any burst (not counting overshoot spikes which are probe artifacts), there is a potential saturation problem. Figure 2-2 shows a defective waveform similar to that of 2-1, but in this case the distortion is caused by excessive stray capacitance coupling from the Y line to AC ground, for example from running too near and too far alongside a ground trace, ground plane, or other traces. The excess coupling causes the charge-transfer effect to dissipate a significant portion of the received charge from a key into the stray capacitance. This phenomenon is more subtle; it can be best detected by increasing BL to a high count and watching what the waveform does as it descends towards and below -0.25V. The waveform will appear deceptively straight, but it will slowly start to flatten even before the -0.25V level is reached. A correct waveform is shown in Figure 2-3. Note that the bottom edge of the bottom trace is substantially straight (ignoring the downward spikes). Unlike other QT circuits, the Cs capacitor values on QT60xx8 devices have no effect on conversion gain. However they do affect conversion time. Unused Y lines should be left open. 2.6 Sample Resistors There are 3 sample resistors (Rs) used to perform single-slope ADC conversion of the acquired charge on each Cs capacitor. These resistors directly control acquisition gain: larger values of Rs will proportionately increase signal gain. Values of Rs can range from 380K ohms to 1M ohms. 470K ohms is a reasonable value for most purposes. Unused Y lines do not require an Rs resistor. 2.7 Signal Levels Quantum’s QmBtn™ software makes it is easy to observe the absolute level of signal received by the sensor on each key. The signal values should normally be in the range from 250 to 750 counts with properly designed key shapes and values of Rs. However, long adjacent runs of X and Y lines can also artificially boost the signal values, and induce signal saturation: this is to be avoided. The X-to-Y coupling should come mostly from intra-key electrode coupling, not from stray X-to-Y trace coupling. QmBtn software is available free of charge on Quantum’s website. The signal swing from the smallest finger touch should preferably exceed 10 counts, with 15 being a reasonable target. The signal threshold setting (NTHR) should be set to a value guaranteed to be less than the signal swing caused by the smallest touch. lQ 4 QT60248-AS R4.02/0405 Figure 2-1 VCs - Non-Linear During Burst (Burst too long, or Cs too small, or X-Y capacitance too large) Figure 2-2 VCs - Poor Gain, Non-Linear During Burst (Excess capacitance from Y line to Gnd) Figure 2-3 Vcs - Correct |
