DATA AVERAGE
The adaptive threshold algorithm is based on an average calculated
from the previous CDC output data, using the following equation:
where:
Average(N) is the new average value.
Average(N − 1) is the average value from the previous cycle.
Data(N) is the latest complete CDC conversion result.
ThrSettling is a parameter, programmable in the setup registers.
A more specific case of the input capacitance waveform is a step
change. The response of the average to an input capacitance step
change (more exactly, response to a step change in the CDC output
data) is an exponential settling curve, which can be characterized
by the following equation:
where:
Average(N) is the value of average N complete CDC conversion
cycles after a step change on the input.
Average(0) is the value before the step change.
TimeConst = 2
ThrSettling is a parameter, programmable in the setup registers.
See Figure 31 and the Register Descriptions section for further
information.
HYSTERESIS
In adaptive threshold mode, the comparator features hysteresis.
The hysteresis is fixed to ¼ of the threshold sensitivity and can
be programmed on or off. The comparator does not have hyster-
esis in the fixed threshold mode.

TIMEOUT
In the case of a large, long change in the capacitive input, when
the data average adapting to a new condition takes too long, a
timeout can be set.
The timeout becomes active (counting) when the CDC data
goes outside the band of data average ± sensitivity. When the
timeout elapses (a defined number of CDC conversions is
counted), the data average (and thus the thresholds), is forced
to follow the new CDC data value immediately (see Figure 33).
The timeout can be set independently for approaching (for change
in data toward the threshold) and for receding (for change in data
away from the threshold). See Figure 34, Figure 35, and the Register
Descriptions section for further information.
