2. C8051F990 Slider Evaluation Kit Overview
The C8051F990 Slider Evaluation Kit demonstrates the system level possibilities that can be achieved when
combining Silicon Laboratories QuickSense™ technology with the C8051F99x ultra low power capacitive sensing
MCU. The result is a battery powered capacitive sensing solution that has the following features:

AN494: QuickSense Communications Interface
Low Power Wake-on-Slide—Allows the system to be designed without any mechanical components. The
system wakes up when the user slides a finger across the slider. The system has a shelf life of over 5 years in
this low power wake-on-slide mode. For more information on how the wake-on-slide feature achieves gesture
recognition in a low-power system, see "3.5. Wake-on-Slide Firmware Functionality" on page 3.
QuickSense™ Slider Control—Allows multiple capacitive sensing pads to be bound together to form a slider
control. The QuickSense API performs all required calculations and notifies the application software of the
finger position on the slider. The slider demo demonstrates this capability and has a runtime of over 120 hours
at the maximum LED setting. Runtime is limited by LED current and can be increased by dimming the LED.
Gesture Recognition—Quicksense™ events enable the ability to detect gestures, such as a “pinch”, on the
slider. In this system, the “pinch” gesture is used to switch between different demonstration modes.
Miniature Size—The C8051F990 MCU has a built in SmaRTClock oscillator (no crystal required) and is
available in a 3x3 mm package. The sleep mode current is 300 nA and the active mode current is 150 µA/MHz.
Battery Meter—Using the C8051F990’s 12-bit ADC, the system is able to measure the battery voltage and
determine the remaining battery capacity.
LED Dimmer—The system dynamically reduces LED power consumption by driving the LEDs with a PWM
signal. Taking advantage of the fast 2 µs wake-up time, the MCU can efficiently wake up from sleep, adjust the
state of the LED, and go back to sleep very efficiently. This allows a flicker-free, low power, LED dimming mode.
