Description
The STM8T143 is a single channel, fully integrated, touch sensing capacitive sensor. It uses a ProxSense™ charge transfer capacitive acquisition method that is capable of near range proximity detection. The STM8T143 offers a state of the art capacitive sensing engine with an embedded sampling capacitor and voltage regulator allowing the overall solution cost to be reduced and improving system immunity in noisy environments. It can target a detection range up to 20 cm thanks to the electrode parasitic capacitance compensation (EPCC) feature. The EPCC automatically compensates ground parasitic capacitance sources (such as ground planes, printed circuit board tacks, and large metal objects) which significantly reduce the proximity detection range.
