Features
Applications
This device specifically targets human interfaces
and front panels for a wide range of applications
such as PC peripherals, home entertainment
systems, gaming devices, lighting and appliance
controls, remote controls, etc.
QST devices are designed to replace mechanical
switching/control devices and the reduced
number of moving parts in the end product
provides the following advantages:

Fully “debounced” results
Patented AKS™ Adjacent Key Suppression
Self-calibration and auto drift compensation
Spread-spectrum bursts to reduce EMI
Up to 13 general-purpose outputs
ECOPACK® (RoHS compliant) package
Lower customer service costs
Reduced manufacturing costs
Increased product lifetime

Description
The QST104 is the ideal solution for the design of
capacitive touch sensing user interfaces.
Touch-sensitive controls are increasingly
replacing electromechanical switches in home
appliances, consumer and mobile electronics,
and in computers and peripherals. Capacitive
touch controls allow designers to create stylish,
functional, and economical designs which are
highly valued by consumers, often at lower cost
than the electromechanical solutions they
replace.
The QST104 QTouch™ sensor IC is a pure digital
solution based on Quantum's patented charge-
transfer (QProx™) capacitive technology.
QTouch™ and QProx™ are trademarks of the
Quantum Research Group.
