Overview
Der TouchPad 2 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die projizierte kapazitive Berührungen problemlos in ihre Anwendungen integriert. Diese Platine verfügt über den IQS525, einen projizierten kapazitiven Touch- und Proximity-Trackpad/Touchscreen-Controller von Azoteq. Es bietet erstklassige Empfindlichkeit, Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis und automatische Abstimmung der Elektroden sowie Multi-Touch- und Multi-Hover-Funktionen. Dieses Click Board™ zeichnet sich durch integrierte Gesten-Engine-Erkennung für einfache Gesten (Tippen, Wischen, Halten) und integrierte Rauscherkennung und -filterung aus. Dieses Click Board™ eignet sich für Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen, Tastatur- oder Scrollfunktionen, gestenbasierte Schnittstellen mit einem Finger und mehr.
Das TouchPad 2 Click Board™ wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ ist ein gründlich getestetes Produkt und kann auf einem System verwendet werden, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Touchpad 2 Click Board™ Work?
The Touchpad 2 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the IQS525, a capacitive sensing controller designed for multitouch application using projected capacitance touch panel from Azoteq. It offers high sensitivity proximity/hover detection and contact (touch) detection. The device has an internal voltage regulator and Internal Capacitor Implementation (ICI) to reduce external components, which can be noticed on the Click board™ (very few additional components required by this IC). Advanced integrated signal processing capabilities yield a stable, high-performance capacitive controller with high sensitivity.
On the front side of the Touchpad 2 Click, there is a clearly defined field that represents a touchpad area. This area is a matrix of conductive electrodes on the PCB, electrically isolated from each other, arranged as rows and columns of X and Y. An electrode consists of multiple diamond-shaped elements, each connected to the next with a conductive neck.
The controller uses the principle of projected capacitance charge transfer on the touchpad area. When a conductive object such as a human finger approaches the sense plate, it will decrease the detected capacitance. Observing the measured results at various sensing points on the touchpad area enables the controller to determine proximity/hover detection and contact (touch) detection on all channels and accurately determine the coordinates on the touch area.
Due to the advanced sensitivity of the IQS525, multiple non-contact (proximity hover) coordinates also can be obtained. These hover coordinates can predict the touch coordinate of an approaching user before the touch is made, allowing innovative user interface options. Multiple filters are implemented to suppress, detect noise, and track slow varying environmental conditions and avoid effects of possible drift.
The Touchpad 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using a standard I2C 2-Wire interface, with a clock frequency up to 100kHz in the Standard and 400kHz in the Fast Mode. An additional ready signal, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, is added, which indicates when the communication window is available. Thus, it is optimal for the response rate to use the INT pin as a communication trigger, but polling is also a less attractive option.
ThTouchpad 2 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
