Figure 3-1 shows a circuit having slightly greater precision and sensitivity than that of Figure 3-2, however both will perform well in most situations. Note that the Figure 3-2 circuit must have the Cs clamp control (command ^S) polarity set to 0x01 to operate properly. 3.1 Part Differences QT60xx5 parts use identical circuits and operate in identical manner in all respects, except that only the QT60645 can acquire 64 keys. The QT60325 and QT60485 only acquire 32 and 48 keys respectively, but both still use an 8x8 matrix; any 32 or 48 keys in the matrix can be used. Unused keys must be disabled by setting their burst length to zero (command ^F). These devices have their upper keys disabled (keys 32 and 48 and up respectively). Upper keys can be enabled by first disabling undesired lower keys so that the maximum number of keys is never exceeded during the setup process. 3.2 Matrix Scan Sequence The circuit operates by scanning each key sequentially, key by key. Key scanning begins with location X=0 / Y=0. X axis keys are known as rows while Y axis keys are referred to as columns. Keys are scanned sequentially by row, for example the sequence Y0X0 Y0X1 .... Y0X3, Y1X0 Y1X1... etc. Each key is sampled from 1 to 64 times in a burst whose length is determined by command ^F. A burst is completed entirely before the next key is sampled; at the end of each burst the resulting analog signal is converted to digital by the part’s ADC. The burst length directly impacts key gain; each key can have a unique burst length in order to allow tailoring of key sensitivity on a key by key basis. 3.3 Signal Path Refer to Figures 1-4, 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. Further descriptions can be found in Section 1.20. Charge gate. Only one X row is pulsed during a burst. Charge is coupled across a key's Cx capacitance from the X row to all Y columns. A particular key is chosen by gating the charge from a single Y column into a charge integrator. The gate is an 8:1 analog mux whose path is selected by lines YS0, YS1, and YS2; the gate is enabled by a pulse from the PLD. The charge integrator is described below. Dwell time. The gate must be switched closed just prior to the rising edge of X and must be reopened just after X has finished rising, in order to capture the charge driven across key capacitance Cx. The delay time from the rise of X to the opening of the gate is known as the Y-sample dwell time. Dwell time duration has a dramatic effect on the suppression of signals due to moisture films as described in Section 3.13. Dwell time is fixed in these devices to 167ns but this can be shortened using an external circuit (Section 3.9). Charge neutralization. When X falls again, the charge across Cx must be neutralized. Without neutralization, Cx charge would be sampled one time only and not again during operation. To accomplish this, the PLD always clamps all Y lines to ground except during the rise of X for the key being scanned. Charge integrator. The first opamp is configured as an integrator with a reset switch; capacitor Cs (C14 in Figure 3-1, and C7 in Figure 3-2) performs the charge integration function. Capacitor Ca (C11 in Figure 3-1 only) acts to absorb charge momentarily before the Figure 3-1 opamp can react to absorb the charge across Cs; the value of Ca is not critical. A P-channel jfet resets Cs between bursts (n-channel mosfet in the case of Figure 3-2). The output of the opamp of Figure 3-1 swings negative, and as a consequence a negative power supply is required for that circuit; the circuit of Figure 3-2 is unipolar and requires only a positive supply. Charge cancellation. Two Cz capacitors are used to cancel charge across Cs in stepwise fashion in order to increase signal range. These capacitors can switch during the course of a burst to reduce the final output of the amplifier chain, preventing early signal saturation due to large keys (high Cx) and/or long burst lengths. The Cz's are normally driven to +5V when not in use; switching them to ground causes a step subtraction of charge from the integrator. Signal amplification; offset. At the end of the burst, the charge integrator result is amplified, and an offset from an R2R ladder DAC driven off the X drive lines is applied. This offset repositions the final analog signal as close as possible to the center of the ADC span, or at about 2.5V. The amount of offset applied is determined during the calibration process. Burst / R2R timing. Figure 3-3 relates to a particular key being addressed by an X row line and gate control lines YSn. At the end of the burst, the X pins drive the R2R ladder network to generate a correction offset to the amplifier chain. The amplifier must stabilize to within ½ LSB (10mV) 8µs after the application of the R2R value so that the signal can be accurately sampled by the QT60xx5 on pin Ain. Signal gain. Gain is directly controlled by burst length, amplifier gain, and the value of Cs. Burst length can be adjusted on a key by key basis whereas Av and Cs are fixed for all keys. See Section 3.6. The detection threshold setting also factors directly into key sensitivity. 3.4 'X' Electrode Drives The 'X' lines are directly connected to the matrix without buffering. The positive edges of these signals are used to create the transient field flows used to scan the keys. Only one X line is actively driving the matrix for scanning purposes at a time, and it will pulse for a ‘burst length’ for each key as determined by the 'Burst Length' Setups parameter (see command ^F, page 25 and Section 3.6). 3.4.1 RFI FROM X LINES X drive lines will radiate a small amount of RFI. This can be attenuated if required by using series resistor in-line with each X trace; the resistor should be placed near to the QT60xx5. Typical values can range from 47 to 470 ohms. Excessive amounts of R will cause a counterproductive drop in signal strength. RC networks can also be used as shown in Figure 4-4. Inserted resistors in the X lines also have the positive effect of limiting ESD transient currents (Section 3.22). © Quantum Research Group Ltd. lQ 9 www.qprox.com QT60xx5 / R1.05 |
