Touch Sensors Design Guide
Capacitance (C) is defined in
Equation 1-1. Capacitance
It should therefore be clear that thinner panels and higher dielectric constant materials yield higher
capacitance change during touch and hence a higher gain and a better SNR.

Figure 1-2.
In the context of capacitive sensors, SNR is defined as in
of the touch signal levels.
Equation 1-2. SNR
1. Note that this definition uses the RMS noise present during touch, as this is the worst case.

AVG100 means the simple numeric average of 100 data points, typically taken evenly
spaced over a period of 2 seconds.
RMS100 means the root-mean-square of 100 data points, typically taken evenly
spaced over a period of 2 seconds, using the AVG100 figure as a baseline.
