Description
The LDS6005 is a programmable capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) designed for use with capacitive
sensor arrays implementing touch-based input controls including sliders, scroll wheels, and buttons.
Featuring 10 sensor inputs, the LDS6005 provides the flexibility to implement multiple touch inputs using
a single controller.
The capacitive sensor inputs are directed through an integrated switch matrix to a 500 kHz sigma-delta
CDC which senses changes in the external sensor array. When a sufficiently large change in capacitance
occurs, a sensor activation is registered and the host processor is notified.
On-chip calibration logic continuously monitors the environment and automatically adjusts on-and-off
threshold levels to prevent false sensor activation. The LDS6005 is offered with both SPI-compatible
2
and I C-compatible interfaces (active interface selected by I/F select pin) and features a general-purpose
input/output (GPIO) and interrupt output for additional communication with the host processor.

Ideal solution for portable applications
The LDS6005 is optimized for minimal power consumption, with touch sensor circuits operating from
a 1.8V supply voltage. In full power mode, sensor conversion and calibration occur continuously,
minimizing the time between touch event and touch detection. With its ultra-low touch sensor power
consumption of <150 uW (typical), the LDS6005 may be operated continuously in full power mode,
even when battery life is of premium importance. The low power architecture of the IDT PureTouch™
solutions eliminates the need for introduced latency periods that can cause noticeable delays and degrade
the user experience.
When touch inputs are not required to be active, the LDS6005 may be put into standby mode, reducing
typical power consumption below 1 uW.
