The Sensor Noise Threshold registers control the value of a secondary internal threshold to detect
noise and improve the automatic recalibration routine. If a Capacitive Touch Sensor output exceeds
the Sensor Noise Threshold but does not exceed the sensor threshold, then it is determined to be
caused by a noise spike. That sample is not used by the automatic re-calibration routine.
The Sensor Noise Threshold is proportional to the programmed threshold as shown in Table 5.28.
