7 Description of User
Options
This section describes the individual user
programmable options of the IQS133 in more
detail.
A number of standard device configurations
are available (refer to Chapter 6). Azoteq can
supply pre-configured devices for large
quantities.
The touch event is triggered based on TTH,
CS and LTA. A touch event is identified
when for at least 4 consecutive samples of
the following equation holds:
TTH =< LTA-CS
With lower average CS (therefore lower LTA)
values the touch threshold will be lower and
vice versa. The Touch Threshold for CH0 &
CH2 are set as follow:
Configuration: Bank0 bit 4-2
7.1 Adjustable Proximity
Threshold
TTHR0:TTHR2: Touch Thresholds
The IQS133 has 4 proximity threshold settings.
The proximity threshold is selected by the
designer to obtain the desired sensitivity and
noise immunity. The proximity event is
triggered based on the selected proximity
threshold; the CS and LTA (Long Term
Average) The threshold is expressed in terms
of counts; the same as CS.

Power Modes
The IQS133 IC has eight power modes
specifically designed to reduce current
consumption for battery applications.
The power modes are implemented around
the occurrence of charge cycle every tSAMPLE
seconds (refer to Table 7.1). Lower sampling
frequencies yield lower power consumption
(but decreased response time).
During normal operation charge cycles are
initiated approximately every 50ms. This is
referred to as Normal Power Mode (NP). The
IQS133 by default charges in Boost Power
Mode.
The timings for all the Power Modes are
provided in the table below. While in any
power mode the device will zoom to BP
whenever the counts (CS) indicate a
possible proximity or touch event. This
improves the response time. The device will
remain in BP for tZOOM seconds and then
return to the selected power mode. The
Zoom function allows reliable detection of
events with counts being produced at the BP
rate.

7.5 ATI Base Value
The sensitivity gain of the Proximity channel
can be set by adjusting the Base Value of the
ATI algorithm. Decreasing the base from 200
to 150 or even 50 will increase the sensitivity
and vice versa. By decreasing the base value,
the analog gain from the sensor is increased.

functions such as identification of proximity
and touch events.
The LTA is calculated from the counts (CS).
The filter only executes while no proximity or
touch event is detected to ensure

for
environmental
changes. However there may be instances
where sudden changes in the environment or
changes in the environment while a proximity
or touch event has been detected cause the
CS to drift away from the LTA. To
compensate for these situations a Halt Timer
(tHALT) has been defined.
The Halt Timer is started when a proximity or
touch event occurs (for the 133Z, all the
channels’ filters halt on a proximity event) and
when it expires the LTA filter is recalibrated.
Recalibration causes LTA < CS, thus the
disappearance of proximity or touch events.
The designer needs to select a Halt Timer
value to best accommodate the required
application.
7.6.1 Long Term Average (LTA)
Capacitive touch devices detect changes in
capacitance that are not always related to the
intended proximity or touch of a human. This
is a result of changes in the environment of
the sense plate and other factors. These
changes need to be compensated for in
various manners in order to reliably detect
touch events and especially to detect
proximity events. One mechanism the IQS133
employs is the use of a Long Term Averaging
filter (IIR type filter) which tracks slow
changes in the environment (expressed as
changes in the counts). The result of this filter
is a Long Term Average (LTA) value that
forms a dynamic reference used for various

The IQS133 has advanced immunity to RF
noise sources such as GSM cellular
telephones, DECT, Bluetooth and WIFI
devices. Design guidelines should however be
followed to ensure the best noise immunity.

Notes for layout:
A ground plane should be placed under the
IC, except under the Cx lines
Place the sensor IC as close as possible to
the sense electrodes.
All the tracks on the PCB must be kept as
short as possible.
The capacitor between VDDHI and GND as
well as between VREG and GND, must be
placed as close as possible to the IC.
A 100 pF capacitor can be placed in
parallel with the 1uF capacitor between
7.8 Guard Channel
VDDHI and GND. Another 100 pF
capacitor can be placed in parallel with the
1uF capacitor between VREG and GND.
When the device is too sensitive for a
specific application a parasitic capacitor
(max 5pF) can be added between the Cx
line and ground.
Proper sense electrode and button design
principles must be followed.
Unintentional coupling of sense electrode
to ground and other circuitry must be
limited by increasing the distance to these
sources.
In some instances a ground plane some
distance from the device and sense
electrode may provide significant shielding
from undesired interference.
When the capacitance between the sense
electrode and ground becomes too large the
sensitivity of the device may be influenced.
For more guidelines on proper layout, please
see the application note: “AZD008 - Design
Guidelines for Touch Pads” on the Azoteq

9.2 Data Streaming Protocol
9 Data Streaming
The IQS133 has the capability to stream data to
a MCU. This provides the designer with the
capability to obtain the parameters within the
device in order to aid design into applications,
and debugging systems. Data streaming may
further be used by an MCU to control events or
further process results obtained from the
IQS133. Data streaming is performed as a 1wire data protocol on one of the output pins
(TO0). The functions of all the other output pins
are therefore lost when the device is put in
streaming mode. Data Streaming can be
enabled as indicated below:
When data streaming is enabled data is sent
following each charge cycle.
Figure 9.1 illustrates the communication protocol
for initialising and sending data with the 1 wire
communication protocol.
1. Communications is initiated by a START
bit. This bit is defined as a low condition
for tSTART.
2. Following
the
START
bit
a
synchronisation byte (tINIT = 0xAA) is
sent. This byte is used by the MCU for
clock synchronisation.
3. Following tINIT the data bytes will be sent.
8 Bytes will be sent after each charge
cycle.
4. Each byte sent will be preceded by a
START bit and a STOP bit will follow
every byte.
5. A STOP bit is indicated by taking pin 7
high. The STOP bit does not have a
defined period.

10 Auto Tuning Implementation (ATI)
ATI
is
a
sophisticated
technology
implemented in the latest generation
ProxSense® devices that optimises the
performance of the sensor in a wide range of
applications and environmental conditions
(refer to application note AZD0027 - Auto
Tuning Implementation).
ATI makes adjustments through internal
reference capacitors to obtain optimum
performance.
ATI adjusts internal circuitry according to two
parameters, the ATI multiplier and the ATI

compensation. The ATI multiplier can be
viewed as a course adjustment and the ATI
compensation as a fine adjustment.
The adjustment of the ATI parameters will
result in variations in the counts and
sensitivity. Sensitivity can be observed as the
change in counts as the result of a fixed
change in sensed capacitance. The ATI
parameters have been chosen to provide
significant overlap. It may therefore be
possible to select various combinations of
ATI multiplier and ATI compensation settings

to obtain the same count values. The
sensitivity of the various options may
however be different for the same counts.
in most instances the effect will be
hardly noticeable.
Shortly after the completion of the retuning process the sensitivity of
Proximity detection may be reduced
slightly for a few seconds as internal
filters stabilises.
10.1 Automatic ATI
The IQS133 implements an automatic ATI
algorithm. This algorithm automatically
adjusts the ATI parameters to optimise the
sense electrodes connection to the device.
The device will execute the ATI algorithm
whenever the device starts-up and when the
counts are not within a predetermined range.
While the Automatic ATI algorithm is in
progress this condition will be indicated in the
streaming data and proximity and touch
events cannot be detected. The device will
only briefly remain in this condition and it will
be entered only when relatively large shifts in
the counts has been detected.
The automatic ATI function aims to maintain
a constant count value, regardless of the
capacitance of the sense electrode (within
the maximum range of the device).
The effects of auto-ATI on the application are
the following:
Automatic adjustment of the device
configuration
and
processing
parameters for a wide range of PCB and
application designs to maintain an
optimal configuration for proximity and
touch detection.
Automatic tuning of the sense
electrodes at start-up to optimise the
sensitivity of the application.
Automatic re-tuning when the device
detects changes in the sense electrodes
capacitance to accommodate a large
range of changes in the environment of
the application that influences the
sensing electrodes.
Re-tuning only occurs during device
operation when a relatively large
sensitivity reduction is detected. This is
to ensure smooth operation of the
device during operation.
Re-tuning may temporarily influences
the normal functioning of the device, but

Automatic ATI can be implemented so
effectively due to:
Excellent system signal to noise ratio
(SNR).
Effective digital signal processing to
remove AC and other noise.
The very stable core of the devices.
The built in capability to accommodate a
large range of sensing electrode
capacitances.
10.2 Partial ATI
If the ATI Select bit is set (to Partial), the
touch threshold for CH1 is the same as for
CH0 &CH2 (see Section 7.2, CH1 touch
threshold is now also set in Bank 0). If the
ATI bit is not set (default), CH1 has its own
touch threshold. The same applies to the
Proximity channel’s base value, which is not
set in the first two bits of Bank 0 anymore.
Instead, the first 5 bits of Bank 0, changes to

12.2 Package MSL
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions for some
semiconductors. The MSL is an electronic standard for the time period in which a moisture
sensitive device can be exposed to ambient room conditions (approximately 30°C/85%RH see
J-STD033C for more info) before reflow occur.
