EM Microelectronic EM6420
The EM6420 is an ultra low power Touch Sensor Interface IC able to scan sequentially up to 16 capacitive sensors. The device parameters (number of used sensors, sensors scan frequency, sensors sensitivity level, IRQ condition) are configurable either from a host microcontroller through a communication port or through configuration inputs. The EM6420 can also detect the most active sensor in applications where sensors are tightly spaced.| Part No. | EM6420 |

DESCRIPTION
Recognised touch inputs will be signaled with an active edge at the IRQ pad and data are ready to be read through the communicaion port by the host MCU. Conditions for the IRQ to get active are configurable : at the end of every scan, at the end of a scan if at least one sensor is active or at the end of a scan if the sensors state has changed. It compares relative levels among sensors and selects the sensor with the largest signal strength. To increase the number of sensors >16, use several EM6420 in parallel. Depending on the selected supply voltage range, 3 or 4 decoupling capacitors are required for the entire functionality of the EM6420 from -40 to + 85°C.FEATURES
