APPLICATIONS
The QT401 QSlide™ IC is a 1-dimensional position sensor IC designed for human interfaces. This unique IC allows designers
to create speed or volume controls, menu bars, and other more exotic forms of human interface on the panel of an appliance
or over an LCD display.
The device uses a simple, inexpensive resistive sensing strip between two connection end points. The strip element can be an
arc or a semicircle or simply linear. The strip can also be used as a proximity sensor out to several centimeters, to wake up an
appliance or display from a sleep mode in a dramatic fashion.
The QT401 can report a single rapid touch anywhere along the slider element, or, it can track a finger moving laterally along
the slider strip in real time. The device self-calibrates under command from a host controller in one of two modes.
The QT401 is a new type of capacitive sensor based on Quantum’s patented charge-transfer methods. This device uses two
channels of simultaneous sensing across a resistive element to determine finger position, using mathematical analysis. The
accuracy of QSlide™ is theoretically the same as a conventional potentiometer. A positional accuracy of 5% (or better) is
relatively easy to achieve.
The acquisitions are performed in a burst mode which uses proprietary spread-spectrum modulation for superior noise
immunity and low emissions.
The output of the QT401 can also be used to create discrete controls on a strip, by interpreting sets of number ranges as
buttons. For example, the number range 0..19 can be button A, 30..49 button B, 60..79 button C etc. Continuous slider action
and discrete controls can be mixed on a single strip, or, the strip can be reinterpreted differently at different times, for example
when used below or on top of an LCD to act as a menu input device that dynamically changes function in context. In this
fashion the QT401 can be used to create ultra-simple, extremely inexpensive ‘touch screens’. The device is compatible with
ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) overlays on top of various displays.

... Operation The QT401 uses a SPI slave mode interface for control and data communications with a host controller. Acquisition timings and operating parameters are under host control; there are no option jumpers and the device cannot operate in a stand-alone mode.

... See also Section 2.2. 2.4 Power Supply The usual power supply considerations with QT parts applies also to the QT401.

... Do use a ground plane under and around the QT401 itself, back to the regulator and power connector (but not beyond the Cs capacitor). Do not place an electrode (or its wiring) of one QT401 device near the electrode or wiring of another device, to prevent cross interference.

... DRDY Line The DRDY line acts primarily as a way to inhibit the host from clocking to the QT401 when the QT401 is busy. It also acts to signal to the host when fresh data is available after a burst.
