1. Introduction
Interactive user interfaces like in smartphones have become a must also in automotive,
industrial and white goods control units.
Unlike smartphones where multi-touch, drag and drop and zooming features are used, the
dedicated user interfaces in, for instance climate control or washing machine, only have to
be a replacement of mechanical buttons by on-display touch buttons. Accordingly, the
hardware- and software-design should be as simple as possible.
The PCA8885 and PCF8885 are providing very suitable features for easy configuration,
connection of various numbers of channels, optimization of sensitivity and sampling for
each application.
The purpose of the OM11058 is to demonstrate the capabilities of the PCA8885 and
PCF8885 for touch displays.
1.1 The PCA8885 and PCF8885 multi-channel capacitive proximity
sensors
The PCA8885 and PCF8885 are capacitive 8-channel touch and proximity sensors
detecting changes in capacitance on remote sensing plates. Changes in the static
capacitances (as opposed to dynamic capacitance changes) are automatically

compensated using continuous auto-calibration. Remote sensing plates (for example,
conductive foils) can be connected to the IC. The eight input channels operate
independently of each other. There is also a built-in option for a matrix arrangement of the
sensors: interrupts are generated only when two channels are activated simultaneously,
suppression of additional channel outputs when two channels are already active.
Key features of the PCA8885 and PCF8885 are:
Eight independent channels (can be configured as 4 4 matrix)

If the sensor pads are organized in a matrix layout such as a foil with horizontally
connected diamond pads on one side and vertically connected diamond pads on the other
side, the sensor inputs of a single IC can be used for a 4 4 matrix as shown in
Figure 7.
For larger matrices two PCA8885 packages can be cascaded as shown in
Figure 8 to
locate the XY position of a touch.

3. Quick start
3.1 Power supply
The OM11058 is shipped with a USB cable. The USB supply port should be able to
source 2.5 A. Using the USB connector is also the option giving the highest sensitivity.
Alternatively a AC/DC power adapter (5 V, >2.5 A) can be used. Preferably the power
adapter should be a linear converter. If a switching mode AC/DC converter (SMPS) is
used, it should be a three-pin connector with protective earth.
The supply connectors of the OM11058 are shown in Figure 9.
3.2 Operation
When powering up, it takes about 30 seconds to get the touch operational due to the
delays in the start of the MCU evaluation board in order to get right sequence of
interrupts and I
2
C communication.
All buttons are implemented as single switches.
CAUTION
This device needs a USB source that is able to handle 2.5 A. Ensure that the USB supply
connection is able to provide this amount of power. Otherwise, damages may occur.

The temperature up and down buttons (see Figure 10) are implemented as touch and
hold buttons. If the touch lasts longer than half a second, the temperature steps up or
down 14 steps with 200 ms intervals (the number of steps and interval is adjustable in
the firmware).

4. Waterproof touch display with ultra fast auto-calibration
A liquid droplet or thick film of condensation is continuously compensated. (See
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7RZM8fPVlw).
A significant water droplet or a water splash creating a film of water over a touch
display or a capacitive touch control panel results in increased capacitance. However
the self-capacitance measurement technique is the most efficient way of
adaptability.‘(See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT6acNtj-5c).
Another mechanism for capacitance change could be a magnetic or piezoelectric
haptic feedback generator changing the input capacitance to different levels after
every event as well as mechanical deformations. This is also automatically
compensated.
4.1 Ensuring reliable operation
Regardless of what causes a capacitive event, the most important action is to bring
the capacitive sensor back to a functional state after every event: be it a real touch, a
water droplet, a haptic feedback event or a mechanical movement.
Fast auto-calibration after every touch and action ensures that the sensor is always
ready for the next touch (fast auto-calibration runs 50 times faster than normal
auto-calibration). This procedure takes just a few milliseconds (1 ms to 5 ms) and the
sensor IC enters operation mode as soon as the fast calibration is completed, without
any further intervention from the microcontroller.
