Description

DPS7 (ATA2501) using ATLab¡¯s proprietary impedance matching technology not only enables an easy realization of navigation and access to contents in portable devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players and PDA¡¯s, but also is able to replace many mechanical buttons on electronic products. One controller detects 12 sensor inputs of human finger contact and transmits the result to MCU through serial interface at the speed of up to 500 times per second. For computer mouse scroll application, ATLab¡¯s patented navigation

engine is included to calculate direction and magnitude of finger gesture.
Since impedance matching is very difficult to cope with user¡¯s various applications, ATA2501 provides automatic impedance calibration (AIC) function that will automatically adjust contact sensitivity for maximum design flexibility.
Another benefit of using ATA2501 is its low power consumption capability. It only consumes less than 120uA during normal operation. It can also be suspended when device is in the idle state in order to save more power.
There are 2 package types available: 48 TQFP and 40 QFN
