The AK4160 is a low operating voltage and low power consumption 16-channel capacitive touch sensor.

Maximum 8 channels out of the 16-channel can be configured to LED drive or GPIO. The AK4160 has a channel independent automatic correct function of environmental drifts for each sense input. It reduces false detection by continuous calibration of the internal reference value in the situation when the input capacitance of the touch switch is changed by the external factors such as hydrothermal conditions. The automatic initial setting function sets the charge current and charge time according to the size and the shape of a touch switch. The AK4160 can be configured via serial interfaces, it is suitable for mobile phones, PCs and home electric applications.

AK4160主要特性:

􀂄 Up to 16 capacitive sensor inputs

圖1.AK4160方框圖

The touch switch (capacitor) that is connected to the sense input is charged up with direct current during a given period of time. The switch is connected to ground before the measurement. As a result, the touch switch capacitance is completely discharged before start being charged. When the touch switch is fully charged, the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. When the touch switch is touched, this charge voltage decreases because the capacitance value when the switch is touched is larger than when not touched. The charged voltage is converted to a digital data by ADC. The data is get through the noise reduction filter, and compared to a touch threshold value. When the measurement value exceeds the threshold that is corrected environmental drifts, the AK4160 updates the status register to the touch detected state.
