the Charge Current the Charge Time. This eliminates much of the guess involved with touch sensors and allows the same set-
tings to properly configure the device for a wide range of application and electrodes. As show earlier in this document, the sen-
sitivity of the sensor is maximized by having the baseline be as high as possible for a specific baseline capacitance. The
restriction on the high side is that a system should not charge above V
target voltage used is approximately V
3.0 V. The following three registers should be set based on the V
assuming the lowest voltage necessary for the battery. If the final voltage supply in the system is not known, just use the 1.8 V
values as they represent the worst case. This lower setting will not dramatically affect the performance, thus the 1.8 V could be
considered default and be used in all cases where fine tuning is not required.
One of the new features added in the MPR121 that was not included in the MPR03X is the ability to automatically configure
This implies that the automatic configuration system should target approximately 156 when V
