PTC - Peripheral Touch Controller
31.1
Overview
The purpose of PTC is to acquire signals to detect touch on capacitive sensors. The external capacitive touch sensor is
typically formed on a PCB, and the sensor electrodes are connected to the analog front end of the PTC through the I/O
pins in the device. The PTC supports both self- and mutual-capacitance sensors.
typically formed on a PCB, and the sensor electrodes are connected to the analog front end of the PTC through the I/O
pins in the device. The PTC supports both self- and mutual-capacitance sensors.
In mutual-capacitance mode, sensing is done using capacitive touch matrices in various X-Y configurations, including
indium tin oxide (ITO) sensor grids. The PTC requires one pin per X-line and one pin per Y-line.
indium tin oxide (ITO) sensor grids. The PTC requires one pin per X-line and one pin per Y-line.
In self-capacitance mode, the PTC requires only one pin (Y-line) for each touch sensor.
