APPLICATIONS
The QT511 QSlide™ IC is a new type of rotary capacitive touch ‘slider’ sensor IC based on Quantum’s patented
charge-transfer methods. 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. Generally it can be used to replace any form of rotary knob,
through a completely sealed panel.
The device uses a simple, inexpensive resistive sensing element between three connection points. The sense element can be
circular or any polygon shape.
The QT511 can report a single rapid touch anywhere along the sense element, or, it can track a finger moving along the wheel
surface in real time. The device self-calibrates under command from a host controller.
This device uses three channels of simultaneous sensing across a resistive element to determine finger position, using
mathematical analysis. 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 QT511 can also be used to create discrete controls in a circle, 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 wheel action
and discrete controls can be mixed on a single element, or, the element 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. The
device is compatible with ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) overlays on top of various displays or simply to provide for a backlighting
effect.
The QT511 has two enhancements over the QT510. It is significantly more stable with temperature and other environmental
influences, and it recognizes a touch in the middle of the wheel as being invalid, which aids considerably in placing a touch
button in the center of the wheel. However, unlike the QT510 the QT511 does not have a proximity detection function.

During development it is wise to first design a regulator onto the PCB just for (and next to) the QT511, but allow for ‘jumpered out’ development it is clear that there are no problems with false detection or ‘angle noise’ even without a regulator just for the QT511, then the regulator can be safely omitted ...

... DRDY Line The DRDY line acts primarily as a way to inhibit the host from clocking to the QT511 when the QT511 is busy. It also acts to signal to the host when fresh data is available after a burst. The host should not attempt to clock data to the QT511 when DRDY is low, or the data will be ignored or cause a framing error ...

... This command is used to read the current status of the QT511. In particular it is used to detect if there is a sensing error caused by a calibration or power- bad time, ie when a finger is on the sensing wheel and thereafter removed.
