CAP1206
6-Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor
General Description
The CAP1206 is a multiple channel capacitive touch
sensor controller. It contains six (6) individual capaci-
tive touch sensor inputs with programmable sensitivity
for use in touch sensor applications. Each sensor input
is calibrated to compensate for system parasitic capac-
itance and automatically recalibrated to compensate
for gradual environmental changes.
The CAP1206 includes Multiple Pattern Touch recogni-
tion that allows the user to select a specific set of but-
tons to be touched simultaneously. If this pattern is
detected, a status bit is set and an interrupt is gener-
ated.
The CAP1206 has Active and Standby states, each
with its own sensor input configuration controls. Power
consumption in the Standby state is dependent on the
number of sensor inputs enabled as well as averaging,
sampling time, and cycle time. Deep Sleep is the low-
est power state available, drawing 5µA (typical) of cur-
rent. In this state, no sensor inputs are active, and
communications will wake the device.

TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS
It is our intention to provide our valued customers with the best documentation possible to ensure successful use of your Microchip
products. To this end, we will continue to improve our publications to better suit your needs. Our publications will be refined and
enhanced as new volumes and updates are introduced.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this publication, please contact the Marketing Communications Department via
E-mail at
docerrors@microchip.com.
We welcome your feedback.
Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000000A is version A of document DS30000000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for cur-
rent devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the
revision of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site;
http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
When contacting a sales office, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include -literature number) you are
using.
