ATMELs Advanced Touch Sensing Technologies


Atmels solutions for buttons, sliders and wheels are based on to two types of patented capacitive touch acquisition methods, QTouch and QMatrix.

QTouch Technology
QTouch detects touches by measuring the charge flow at a given point. The QTouch method is robust and reliable, and makes it easy to wire touch keys. This method is ideal for applications where a small number of keys are required with simple shapes. The QTouch devices are charging a sense electrode of unknown capacitance to a known potential. The electrode is typically a copper area on a printed circuit board. The resulting charge is transferred into a measurement circuit. By measuring the charge after one or more charge-and-transfer cycles, the capacitance of the sense plate can be determined. Placing a finger on the touch surface introduces external capacitance that affects the flow of charge at that point. This registers as a touch. QTouch microcontrollers can also be set up to detect the proximity of a finger, rather than absolute touch. Signal processing in the decision logic makes QTouch robust and reliable. False triggering due to electrostatic spikes or momentary unintentional touch or proximity is eliminated. QTouch sensors can drive single or multiple keys. Where multiple keys are used, each key can be set for an individual sensitivity level. Keys of different sizes and shapes can be used to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. QTouch technology can be deployed in two ways, normal or touch mode and high-sensitivity or proximity mode. The highly sensitive charge transfer proximity sensing is used to detect an end-users approaching finger, and have the user interface interrupt the electronic equipment or electrical appliance to initiate a system function. For excellent electromagnetic compatibility, QTouch sensors use spread-spectrum modulation and sparse, randomized charging pulses with long delays between bursts. Individual pulses can be as short as 5% or less of the intra-burst pulse spacing. The benefits of this approach include lower cross-sensor interference, reduced RF emissions and susceptibility, and low power consumption. QTouch devices feature automatic drift compensation to account for slow changes due to ageing or changing environmental conditions. They have a dynamic range of several decades and do not require coils, oscillators, RF components, special cable, RC networks, or a lot of discrete parts. As an engineering solution QTouch is simple, robust, elegant, and affordable.

Common tools

QMatrix Technology
QMatrix detects touch using a scanned passive matrix of electrode sets. A single QMatrix based device can drive a large number of keys, enabling a very low cost-per-key to be achieved. QMatrix devices are touch sensor ICs that detect touch using a scanned passive matrix of electrode sets. Electrodes are typically areas of copper on a printed circuit board but can also be areas of clear conductive indium tin oxide (ITO) on a glass or plastic touch screen. A single QMatrix device can drive a large number of keys, enabling a very low cost-per-key to be achieved. QMatrix technology replaces mechanical switches on all kinds of control panel, from domestic appliances to mobile phones. It offers a robust, reliable, and aesthetically flexible approach to control panel design. Panels can be up to 50 mm thick. Key shapes and key placement can be arbitrary to suit the aesthetics and functionality of the end product. Lit and backlit keys are easily accommodated. QMatrix uses a pair of sensing electrodes for each channel. One is an emitting electrode into which a charge consisting of logic pulses is driven in burst mode. The other is a receive electrode that couples to the emitter via the overlying panel dielectric. When a finger touches the panel the field coupling is reduced, and touch is detected. QMatrix chips contain drive, receive and processing logic, so require very few external components. They output data in serial SPI or IC form. Uniquely, the technology includes design diagnostics that can be viewed on any PC via a USB interface. QMatrix circuits offer tremendous signal-to-noise ratios, high levels of immunity to moisture films, extreme levels of temperature stability, superb low power characteristics, ease of wiring, and small IC package sizes for a given key count. For these reasons, QMatrix circuits are highly prized for automotive, kitchen appliance, and mobile applications.

ATMELs Adjacent Key Suppression - AKSTM


Where several touch keys are close together, an approaching finger causes a change in capacitance around more than one key. Quantums patented adjacent key suppression AKS - uses an iterative technique to repeatedly measure the capacitance change on each key, compare the results and determine which key the user intended to touch. AKS then suppresses or ignores signals from all other keys, providing that the signal from the selected key remains above the threshold value. This prevents false touch detections on adjacent keys. AKS is selectable by the system designer.

Atmel maXTouch
maXTouch is the solution for a gesture-capable multi-touch display. maXTouch based solutions combine the robustness of a sealed, scratch-resistant surface with the comfort of a gesture-controlled user interface with a fast response time. Smart software algorithms cancel out erroneous or unintentional activation, maximizing ease-of-use with minimal hardware overhead. The maXTouch technology uses a pattern of conductive layers, which usually consists of a transparent ITO (indium-tin-oxide) coating on glass or plastic carrier surface. This matrix pattern on two stacked layers forms an array of sending and receiving antennas covering the entire active area of the surface. Driving and receiving hardware is embedded in the dedicated maXTouch controller; no other analogue circuitry is required to drive a touch panel. Since maXTouch controller is capable of detecting multiple independent touches within the active area, a reliable multi-touch recognition is possible. Ingenious combination of the controller hardware and firmware allow touch and gesture detection with fast response times and rule out erroneous touches initiated by finger tips holding the device or by a cheek, ear or casing inadvertently pressed to it.

maXTouch enabled touch panels are a direct replacement for their resistive counterparts: a rigid and sealed surface protects the underlying display from scratches, aggressive cleaning agents, water, dirt or other environmental influences: the complete body or front panel can now become a single sealed unit. Also the multitouch capabilities of the maXTouch technology pave the way for innovative user interfaces, something which by concept is not possible using resistive touch panels. Glass panels and foils with transparent conductive layers are tailored to the customers requirements: a wide range of display sizes in different aspect ratios can be supported with the maXTouch based solution.
