Multiple Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor and LED Driver
Datasheet
The Sampling Configuration register controls the length of the sampling window of selected Captive
Touch Sensor channels as indicated in the Sampling Channel Select register.
Increasing the sampling window time will have two effects. The first effect will be to increase the
effective sensitivity of that particular channel so that a touch may be detected with a smaller ΔC or to
allow for degrees of proximity detection. However, at the larger sampling times, the resolution of the
measurement is reduced.
The second effect will be increase the overall round robin rate (and all timing associated with the round
robin rate such as re-calibration times, repeat rate times, and maximum duration times).
All Capacitive Touch Sensors default to a sampling time of 2.5ms. Increasing the sampling time of any
single channel will increase the overall polling cycle by the same amount.
Bits 2 - 0 - OVERSAMP_RATE[2:0] - Determine the sample window of all selected sensors.
