6 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor with 6 LED Drivers
Datasheet
The Sensor Status Registers store status bits that indicate a touch has been detected. A value of ‘0’
in any bit indicates that no touch has been detected. A value of ‘1’ in any bit indicates that a touch
has been detected.
All status bits are cleared when the device enters the Deep Sleep (DSLEEP = ‘1’ - see Section 5.1).
All status bits are cleared when the INT bit is cleared and if a touch on the respective Capacitive Touch
Sensor is no longer present. If a touch is still detected, then the bits will not be cleared (but this will
not cause the interrupt to be asserted - see Section 5.6).
5.2.1
Sensor Status
Bit 5 - CS6 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 6. This sensor can be linked to LED6.
Bit 4 - CS5 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 5. This sensor can be linked to LED5.
Bit 3 - CS4 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 4. This sensor can be linked to LED4.
Bit 2 - CS3 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 3. This sensor can be linked to LED3.
Bit 1 - CS2 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 2. This sensor can be linked to LED2.
Bit 0 - CS1 - Indicates that a touch was detected on Sensor 1. This sensor can be linked to LED1.
5.2.2
LED Status
Bit 5 - LED6_DN - Indicates that LED6 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED6_CTL bits.
Bit 4 - LED5_DN - Indicates that LED5 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED5_CTL bits.
Bit 3 - LED4_DN - Indicates that LED4 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED4_CTL bits.
Bit 2 - LED3_DN - Indicates that LED3 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED3_CTL bits.
Bit 1 - LED2_DN - Indicates that LED2 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED2_CTL bits.
Bit 0 - LED1_DN - Indicates that LED1 has finished its ramping behavior as determined by the
LED1_CTL bits.

Noise Flag Status
00h
The Noise Flag Status registers store status bits that are generated from the analog block if the
detected noise is above the operating region of the analog detector. These bits indicate that the most
recently received data from the sensor is invalid and should not be used for touch detection.
Furthermore, so long as the bit is set for a particular channel, no decisions are made with the data. A
touch is not detected, and a release is not detected.
These bits are not sticky and will be cleared automatically if the analog block does not report a noise
error.
