QT60160, QT60240 QMatrix™ ICs

For 16 and 24 Key Touch Sensing

QMatrix™ technology employs transverse charge-transfer sensing electrode designs which can be made very compact and are easily wired. Charge is forced from an emitting electrode into the overlying panel dielectric, and then collected on a receiver electrode which directs the charge into a sampling capacitor which is then converted directly to digital form without the use of amplifiers.

Keys are configured in a matrix format that minimizes the number of required scan lines and device pins. The key electrodes can be designed into a conventional Printed Circuit Board (PCB) or Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) as a copper pattern, or as printed conductive ink on plastic film.

Evaluation Board

Designed for the evaluation and development of applications using the QT60160/QT60240 IC, the E6240 kit includes an evaluation assembly, cables and QmBtn™ software. The assembly has a serial (USB) interface allowing connection to a PC for control and data viewing using QmBtn.
