Product Summary

The QT310-IS is a programmable capacitance sensor IC. This device requires only a few external passive parts to operate. It uses spread-spectrum burst modulation to dramatically reduce interference problems. The applications of the QT310-IS are (1)Material detection; (2)Toys & games; (3)Access controls; (4)Micro-switch replacement; (5)Appliance controls; (6)Security systems; (7)Fluid level sensors; (8)Industrial panels.

Parametrics

QT310-IS absolute maximum ratings: (1)Operating temp: as designated by suffix; (2)Storage temp: -65℃ to +15℃; (3)VDD: -0.5 to +6V; (4)Max continuous pin current, any control or drive pin: ±40mA; (5)Short circuit duration to ground, any pin.: infinite; (6)Short circuit duration to VDD, any pin: infinite; (7)Eeprom Setups max write cycles: 100,000; (8)Voltage forced onto any pin: -1V to (Vdd + 0.5) Volts.

Features

QT310-IS features: (1)Single channel digital advanced capacitance sensor IC; (2)Spread spectrum burst modulation for high EMI rejection; (3)Full autocal capability; (4)User programmable via cloning process; (5)Internal eeprom storage of user setups, cal data; (6)Variable drift compensation & recalibration times; (7)BG and OBJ cal modes for learn-by-example; (8)Sync pins for daisy-chaining or noise suppression; (9)Variable gain via Cs capacitor change; (10)Selectable output polarity, high or low; (11)Toggle mode (optional via setups); (12)Push-pull output; (13)Completely programmable output behavior via cloning process from a PC; (14)HeartBeat health indicator (can be disabled).
