7.2 Example of Touch+Proximity Module
7.2.1
To demonstrate the proximity sensing feature of the SX863x family, a module has been designed and is illustrated
in figure below.
The touch button controller is running in stand-alone (ie without host) and uses the Autolight mode to turn LEDs
ON/OFF accordingly to the touch buttons and proximity sensing status.
7.2.2
Module operation can be seen as 5 steps which are described in figure below
Notes:
- For better user experience, bicolor LEDs have been used here but one could decide to design a module with
normal unicolor LEDs. In this case, step 3 above would simply consist in a higher (blue) intensity for the LED of
the button touched.
- For obvious demonstration purposes the overlay used here is transparent but in typical applications (TV,
Monitor, Set-top box, etc) the overlay would be opaque enough so that when LEDs are OFF (ie no proximity
detected) the PCB is not visible to the user.
7.2.3
The proximity sensing distance of detection has been measured in these conditions:
- CapProxEnable = ON
