Semtech Corporation SX8636

The SX8636 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 8channel solution for capacitive touch-buttons and proximity detection applications. Each GPIO is typically configured as LED driver with independent PWM source for enhanced lighting control such as intensity and fading. The SX8636 includes a capacitive 10 bit ADC analog interface with automatic compensation up to 100pF.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8636 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO). The high resolution capacitive sensing supports a wide variety of touch pad sizes and shapes and allows capacitive buttons to be created using thick overlay materials (up to 5mm) for an extremely robust and ESD immune system design. The SX8636 incorporates a versatile firmware that was specially designed to simplify capacitive touch solution design and offers reduced time-to-market. Integrated multi-time programmable memory provides the ultimate flexibility to modify key firmware parameters (gain, threshold, scan period, auto offset compensation… ) in the field without the need for new firmware development. The SX8636 supports the 400 kHz I²C serial bus data protocol and includes a field programmable slave address. The tiny 4mm x 4mm footprint makes it an ideal solution for portable, battery powered applications where power and density are at a premium.
