| Interface | 1 | Active | The AT42QT101x Single Key capacitive touch controller family provides an easy way to add a touch key to any application. It implements advanced filtering algorithm to offer robust operation in noisy environment. Sensitivity and low power modes can be configured as well.
The AT42QT1012 has touch-on/touch-off (toggle) functionality and a Auto Off timer to save on power consumption.
The [AT42QT1010](https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/at42qt1010) has "maximum on" touch duration of ~ 60s. The device output will then go low and a subsequent touch event can be detected.
The [AT42QT1011](https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/at42qt1011) output will remain high as long as a touch is detected. No "Max On" time out. |
| Interface | 2 | Active | The Atmel(R) AT42QT1050 is a QTouchADC(TM) sensor driver. The device can sense from one to five keys, dependent on mode. The QT1050 includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of changing conditions, and the outputs are fully debounced. Only a few external parts are required for operation and no external Cs capacitors are required. The QT1050 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to heavily suppress the effects of external noise, and to suppress RF emissions. The QT1050 uses a QTouchADC method of acquisition. This provides greater noise immunity and eliminates the need for external sampling capacitors, allowing touch sensing using a single pin. |
| Sensor, Capacitive Touch | 1 | Active | Sensor IC designed to simplify and speed the development of mobile and other applications. It provides all of the functions needed to create a fully functional touch interface for mobile phones and handheld devices. Based on Microchip QTouch technology, this IC integrates the required signal processing and input/output functions into a 28-pin, 4mm by 4mm RoHS compliant package. It includes a guard channel to prevent false detections by other keys. Its LEDs are directly powered by the IC, eliminating the need for an external LED controller. |
| Interface | 1 | Active | The AT42QT1070 (QT1070) is a digital burst mode charge-transfer capacitive sensor driver. The device can sense from one to seven keys, dependent on mode.
The QT1070 has the optimized architecture where no external components are required and only 1-pin per channel. It includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of changing conditions, and the outputs are fully debounced.
The QT1070 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to heavily suppress the effects of external noise, and to suppress RF emissions. The QT1070 use a dual-pulse method of acquisition. This provides greater noise immunity and eliminates the need for external sampling capacitors, allowing touch sensing using a single pin. |

| Interface | 2 | Active | The Microchip's AT42QT1481 is a capacitive touch controller with configurable 48-QTouch buttons. The Microchip QMatrix sensing algorithm (mutual capacitance) enables the user to achieve more buttons than there are pins because of this matrix layout. This capability makes the device ideal for home appliance customers that require high button counts at low cost. The button sensors can be constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes. The device includes all signal processing functions necessary to provide stable sensing under a wide variety of changing conditions and frequencies (Conducted Immunity certified to EN61000-4-6 Level 2B).
The AT42QT1481 is certified to meet the European Standards (EN) & International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60730 class B home appliance certifications. IEC/EN 60730 (Ed. 4.0) / IEC/EN 60335 (Ed. 5.0) standards cover mechanical, electrical, electronic, EMC, and abnormal operation of appliances. These certifications assure safe operation within an appliance if a fault within the system is detected by shutting it down. Although the certifications are conducted at the system level, selecting the right microcontroller (MCU) increases the ease of passing the certification and helps in bringing a product faster-to-market. With this certification, manufacturers can now easily design household appliances that are IEC/EN-certified with Microchip capacitive touch controllers for button, slider and wheel capability. This device also includes Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) for self-testing purposes to enable users to get their products to market quicker and with more safety and security. |
