Introduction
OUT Pin
The OUT pin of the QT1012 can be configured to be active high or active low.
The QT1012 runs in Low Power (LP) mode. In this mode it sleeps for approximately 80 ms at the
end of each burst, saving power but slowing response. On detecting a possible key touch, it
temporarily switches to fast mode until either the key touch is confirmed or found to be spurious
(via the detect integration process).

• If active high then:
• If active low then:
• If the touch is confirmed, the OUT pin is toggled and the QT1012 returns to LP mode (see
• If the touch is not valid then the chip returns to LP mode but the OUT pin remains unchanged
