3-stage data filtering system

Integration and filtering unit

TOUCH is sampled across a programmable period of time. The output of the integration

stage would be a "STRENGTH" (in STRENGTH register) that indicates the number of times

a "TOUCH" is seen, across the integration period. The "STRENGTH" is then compared with

the value in "STRENGTH THRESHOLD" register. If STRENGTH exceeds the STRENGTH

THRESHOLD, this is considered a valid TOUCH.

If required, a 2nd stage filtering feature controlled by FILTER_ PERIOD and

FILTER_THRESHOLD registers.

In data filtering stage, 3 modes of operation are supported:

AFS Mode 1: Only the TOUCH channel with highest STRENGTH is taken

AFS Mode 2: All TOUCH channels with STRENGTH > STRENGTH THRESHOLD is taken

AFS Mode 3: The 2 TOUCH channels with the highest STRENGTH are selected.

These modes are selected using the FEATURE SELECTOR register.

The final, filtered data is accessible through the TOUCH_BYTE register.

5.3.2

Noise filtering

When the STMPE1208S is operating in the vicinity of highly emissive circuits (DC-DC

Converter, PWM Controller/Drive etc), the sensor inputs will be affected by high-frequency

noise. In this situation, the 2-stage time-integrating function could be used to distinguish

between real touch, or emission-related false touch.

5.3.3

BEEP output

STMPE1208S is able to drive an external Piezo Buzzer directly with the built-in beep

generator. The BEEP output can be programmed to varies from 1.5 KHz to 400 KHz, with

period of 100 uS to 2.5 S.
