3.4 CHANGE Pin
Pin 2 (CHANGE) is an active-high output that can be used to
alert the host to key touches or key releases, thus reducing
the need for wasteful I
can simply not bother to communicate with the device, except
when the CHANGE pin goes high.
CHANGE becomes active only when there is a change in key
state (either touch or touch release); CHANGE goes low
again only when the host performs a read from address 1, the
detect status register for all keys on Y0. CHANGE does not
self-clear; only an I
clear.
It is important to read all three key state addresses to ensure
the host has a complete picture of which keys have changed.

In Shift Register mode the CHANGE pin does not operate
and should be left open.
Every key can be individually configured to wake a host
microcontroller upon a touch change; so, a product can wake
from sleep when any key state changes, or only when certain
desired keys change state. The configuration is set in the
Setups block (Section 6.13) on a key-by-key basis.
