Neovo FotoVivo

FotoVivo from Neovo AG uses a QTouch™ technology to enhance a great product design with its button-free Touchable Frame™ technology. The 8 touch keys in the 7" digital photo frame are powered by a single QT1080 8-channel IC.

Designed primarily for use in mobile phones, MP3 players, PC peripherals, remote controls and similar consumer devices, enabling touch keys through almost any panel material to facilitate a great variety of designs. The QT1080 IC consumes just 40µA at 3V in low power mode.

Other features include fully debounced results, lifetime automatic calibration, adjacent key suppression™ , low noise operation and a fast detection mode for use in applications where a simple touch slider is needed. When used to implement individual touch keys, the sensitivity of each channel can be independently tuned simply by changing a capacitor.

The QT1081 is an improved, lower cost, simplified circuit version of the popular QT1080 sensor IC. The QT1081 is designed for low cost appliance, mobile, and consumer electronics applications.
