IQS229EV01 module user guide
Single Channel Capacitive Proximity/Touch Controller for SAR Applications
Operation Characteristics
Integration
The IQS229 will work in standalone mode
(STD – LED outputs) or streaming mode
(STRM), depending on a resistor placement.
By default the module will be configured in
standalone mode.
“OUT” (BLUE) LED will indicate an
activation (crossing of the threshold)
“MOV_OUT” (GREEN) LED will indicate
movement in small detectable amounts.
Start the integration of the IQS229 by wiring
the following into the intended application:
1. GND
2. CX (Electrode – wire or copper pad)
3. VDDHI
On-board LEDs may be used for feedback, or
the OUT and MOV_OUT pins may be taken
to a microcontroller.

User Configurable Options
Four pins on the IQS229 are used for
external configuration. Floating pins are the
default configuration. The configuration is
read at power-on or reset. To see how
resistor straps are applied, see the next page.
Threshold Level Selection
L = LOGIC LOW, H = LOGIC HIGH,F = FLOAT
T0, THR0 (pin 8)
Start off by choosing a threshold. T0 is used
to set a large jump in threshold and T1 is
used to set smaller offsets.
L
Next choose the preferred
sensitivity by strapping MT.
L
movement
Then choose a no movement time-out. If no
movement is detected in this time, the sensor
will clear the activation. With each movement
the IQS229 will reset the timer.

Using resistor strap options
Resistor straps are used to configure the
device as shown below. It is recommended
to use a 1MΩ resistor for this purpose. After
power-up or reset the values will be read
and each pin is written with the values that
was read. This eliminates potential leakage
current.

Programming
The IQS229 has various one-time-programmable (OTP) fuse options. Information about these
options are available on request and are only recommended for larger orders (>50k) or when
in-circuit programming is an option after the SMT process.
Connect the AZP408A05 to the CT210 as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 AZP408A05 connection to CT210 for IQS229 fuse burn
It is important to remove R2 when configuring the IQS229 OTP bits. The CT210 will configure
the programming via I2C and the R2 / DS1 combination will cause the CLK line to become
sluggish. Place R2 again after programming.
Program the IQS229 using the Azoteq USBProg utility.
