The ATEVK1012A kit is an evaluation kit and demonstration/development of applications using the AT42QT1012-TSHR ("QT1012") integrated circuit (IC). AT42QT1012 single key device featuring a touch on/touch off (toggle) output and programmable auto switch-off capability. The digital burst mode charge transfer (QT) sensor is designed specifically for touch controls. It includes all hardware and signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of changing conditions. Only low cost, noncritical components are required for operation. With its tiny, low cost SOT-23 package, this device can suit almost any product needing a power switch or other toggle mode controlled function, especially small appliances and battery operated products. A unique environmentally conscious feature of this device is its timeout function, which can turn off power after a specified time delay ranging from minutes to an hour.
● Single button or proximity sensor
● Prolonged touch timeout after 60 seconds
● Drift compensation algorithms constantly adjust the reference level
● The devices modulate their frequency whilst measurements are taken
● All the devices have a range of power modes depending on the response time required
● The sensitivity of a capacitive button can be set to work with a wide range of panel thicknesses
● The device will automatically calibrate on power up
● IC"s include signal processing which helps to suppress detections caused by electrical noise
