SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS AND IMPLEMENTATION
Capacitance Sensing
The MPR121 uses a constant current touch sensor system with two primary types of control. It can measure capacitances
ranging from 10 pF to 2000 pF by varying the current and the amount of time supplied to each electrode. The electrodes are
controlled independently allowing for a great deal of flexibility in electrode pattern design. To make setup of the device easier, an
automatic configuration system can be used to set the ideal capacitance of each electrode. For information on how to set up this
system refer to application note AN3889.
Once capacitance is calculated, it runs through a couple of levels of digital filtering allowing for good noise immunity in different
environments without sacrificing response time or power consumption. The MPR121 can be configured for sample rates between
1 ms and 128 ms. For information on how to set up this system refer to application note AN3890.
