1 Introduction
Introduction The Capacitive mTouchTM Software Library provides the API's to develop capacitive touch applications using the Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) and Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) technique on PIC18F, PIC24F and PIC32MX Microcontrollers (MCUs). The software stack is developed using C language and can be compiled by Microchip C18, C30 and C32 compilers for PIC18F, PIC24F and PIC32MX Microcontrollers. Users of the mTouchTM Software Library can select the PIC microcontroller used for the application and configure the CTMU or CVD Demos as required for the Application. The API's helps the user to integrate the mTouch Capacitive Library with the end application. This library is also designed to operate with other libraries developed by Microchip. The CTMU has a constant current source that can be used for relative capacitance measurement, absolute capacitance measurement and accurate time measurement. This library will use the relative capacitance measurement for capacitive touch sensing application. Refer to the CTMU Family Reference Manual (DS39724) for more details of CTMU. The CVD technique resides in successive charging and discharging cycles of ADC sample and holds capacitor and the external capacity of the sensor, while measuring the voltage left on the sample and hold capacitor after each cycle. This library contains the implementation of the CVD technique. Refer to the Capacitive Touch Using Only ADC (CVD) AN1298 for more details. The Capacitive mTouchTM Software library is also implemented for PIC16F CVD Framework. The Help file for PIC16F is available in the following location: ....\Microchip\Help\mTouch CVD Framework Documentation.

Hardware Setup for testing The PIC18F, PIC24F and PIC32 enhanced Capacitive Touch Eval kit (DM183026-2) is used for testing the Capacitive mTouchTM Software Library and its functionality.

3.1 Physical Layer

mTouch Cap Library Help

3 Software Stack - Layers

The Capacitive mTouch software library is implemented in three layers: 1) Physical Layer: This configures the hardware, based on the PIC device chosen. 2) Functional Layer: This defines all the APIs on the sensing algorithm. 3) Application Layer: Demonstrates how to use the APIs

The layered approach provides the advantage of configuring the stack for the application. For example, the physical layer can be configured based on the sensing technology and PIC MCU used. Details about each layer and files included for each of them are mentioned in the subsequent sections.

3.1 Physical Layer

This is the layer where CTMU, ADC and Timers are configured as per the application needs. The input for configuration comes from the upper layers. Following table shows the files of physical layer and their scope/description:

File Name mTouchCap_PIC18_CTMU_Physical.c/h

Description

These files have control and status handling routines for CTMU and CVD mTouchCap_PIC24_CTMU_Physical.c/h methods. This forms the Physical layer of the software stack. mTouchCap_PIC32MX_CVD_Physical.c/h Functions in this layer take commands from the upper layer to configure the hardware registers(SFRs) controlling the CTMU and CVD methods. Example for CTMU routines of Physical layer includes InitCTMU, ChargeTimeInit, ReadCTMU, Current_trim_config, StablizeChannelData etc. Example for CVD routines of Physical layer includes InitCVD, ReadCVD, StablizeChannelData etc. mTouchCap_Adc.c/h This file comprises all the ADC configurations. The CTMU and CVD work is in conjunction with the ADC module to provide time or charge measurement. Example for CTMU/CVD routines of Physical layer includes OpenADC, SetChannelADC, ReadADCBuff, ADC_InitializeInterrupt, CloseADC etc. This file includes routines to handle Timer peripheral used by software stack. Example for CTMU/CVD routines of Physical layer includes TickInit, ISR routine, etc. 6

3.2 Functional Layer

The Functional layer of Capacitive mTouch software library implements all the APIs of the stack. It provides an interface to the Application layer and the physical layer. It also contains the functions used in the API's routines. All the API functions are implemented in this layer. Note: Users of the library must take care of the pre-conditions mentioned for each API before invoking them.

Following table provides the recommended files and their scope/description:

5 API - mTouch Software Library

Functions Name mTouchCapAPI_AutoAdjustChannel ( page 13) see Description This API is used to automatically adjust the voltage reading(charge level) on a channel. This will read the ADC value after charging the channel, and then adjust the CTMU current source Trim bits to read the value defined as per AUTO_ADJUST_BAND_PERCENT.

mTouchCapAPI_CTMU_GetChannelReading This API is used to get the channel reading. It initializes the ( see page 14) CTMU and ADC module for the corresponding channel passed. It reads ADC data from the channel and returns. mTouchCapAPI_CTMU_SetupCurrentSource This API sets the current source and trim level for a particular ( see page 14) channel. mTouchCapAPI_getChannelTouchStatus ( see page 15) This API will determine if the channel which is associated with a particular key is touched or not. It will output the pressed or unpressed status of the channel based on the Decode method which is associated with the channel. This API will provide the status of the Direct key passed which will be used by the application to perform the related task. This API will provide the status of the Matrix key passed which will be used by the application to perform the related task. This API gets the percentage level of a particular 2-channel slider passed.The output is ratio-metrically calculated from 0% to 100% proportional to the finger on the slider

This API gets the percentage level of a particular 4-channel slider passed.The output is ratio-metrically calculated from 0% to 100% proportional to the finger on the slider

mTouchCapAPI_ScanChannelIterative ( see page 18)

This API is used for scanning the channels, one at a time. This should be called in the Timer tick function, preferably in an interrupt. This will return the Averaged ADC value based on the SampleCount passed. This API will setup the channel associated with the Direct key . The channel number, filter type and decode method are stored in the structure associated with the Direct Key. This API will setup the channels of the Row and Column associated with the Matrix key. The channel number of the Row and Column, filter type and decode method are stored in the structure associated with the corresponding channel. This API will setup the 2 channels associated with the 2-channel Slider. The 2 channel numbers, filter type and decode method are stored in the structure associated with the corresponding 2-Channel Slider
