The Standby Sensitivity register controls the sensitivity for sensors that are active in Standby.
Bits 2 - 0 - STBY_SENSE[2:0] - Controls the sensitivity for sensors that are active in Standby. The
sensitivity settings act to scale the relative delta count value higher or lower based on the system
parameters. A setting of 000b is the most sensitive while a setting of 111b is the least sensitive. At the
more sensitive settings, touches are detected for a smaller delta C corresponding to a “lighter” touch.
These settings are more sensitive to noise however and a noisy environment may flag more false
touches than higher sensitivity levels.
APPLICATION NOTE: A value of 128x is the most sensitive setting available. At the most sensitivity settings, the
MSB of the Delta Count register represents 64 out of ~25,000 which corresponds to a touch
of approximately 0.25% of the base capacitance (or a ΔC of 25fF from a 10pF base
capacitance). Conversely a value of 1x is the least sensitive setting available. At these
settings, the MSB of the Delta Count register corresponds to a delta count of 8192 counts
out of ~25,000 which corresponds to a touch of approximately 33% of the base capacitance
(or a ΔC of 3.33pF from a 10pF base capacitance).
