2.3.3 CapSense with Sigma Delta Modulator (CSD)

Cypress‘s CSD method uses a switched capacitor circuit on the front end of the system to convert the sensor

capacitance to an equivalent resistor. A Sigma-Delta modulator converts the current measured through the equivalent

resistor into a digital count. When a finger is on the sensor, the capacitance increases and the equivalent resistance

+decreases. This causes an increase in current through the resistor, resulting in an increase in the digital count.

The CSD method requires a single dedicated pin and a single external component, C

MOD

, or two dedicated pins and

two external components, C

MOD

and R

, depending on what CapSense controller family is selected.

Figure 2-6 shows the CSD configuration for the CY8C21x34 CapSense controller family, and the family requires two

external components and two dedicated pins.
