Counts are calculated using Equation 1.

Where:

Sensitivity is calculated using Equation 2.

The upper limit of the capacitance measurement range is calculated using Equation 3.

For example, given the following User Module settings:

Sensitivity = 184.3 Counts/pF

Capacitance measurement range (upper limit) = 88.9 pF

Note: The “sensitivity” calculated above is the capacitive measurement module sensitivity, not the system sensitivity to button/sensor activation.

Note: It is not possible to measure capacitance values all the way down to zero because there will always be some parasitic capacitance, C_P, and pin capacitance measured by the sensor.

Where:

For example, given the following User Module settings:

Resolution = 0.00543 pF

Note: Although the calculation indicates that a change as small as 0.00543 pF can be detected, raw-count noise limits the use of such high resolution. CapSense is not recommended for measuring absolute capacitances.

Note: The “sensitivity” calculated above is the capacitive measurement module sensitivity, not the system sensitivity to button/sensor activation.

The defect will be fixed in the future versions of PSoC Designer but for the current version the following workaround can be used:

1. Download the attached “SmartSense.asm”.
2. Copy this file (and replace the old SmartSense.asm) to the following folder:
   C:\Program Files\Cypress\PSoC Designer\5.2\Common\CypressSemiDeviceEditor\Data\Stdum\SmartSense\Ver_1_30\CY8C21034

It should be noted that the configuration wizard will still show the R_b connection to P1[1]. But the hardware connection for R_b gets modified when the API SmartSense_Start() is called in “main.c” of the project. This workaround modifies ACE00CR2, ACE00CR1, ALT_CR0, CMP_GO_EN, PRT1DM0, PRT1DM1, and PRT1DM2 registers in the SmartSense_Start() API. The details of these registers can be found in the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) for CY8C21x34.

• 8-bit general purpose pulse width modulator (PWM) with an 8-bit dead band generator consumes two PSoC blocks
• Phase1 and Phase2 underlapped outputs track the frequency of the generated PWM signal
• Programmable duty cycle
• Programmable dead time
• Dead Band Kill input drives Phase1 and Phase2 outputs low
• Counter clocking up to 48 MHz
• Interrupt option triggered on rising edge of the PWM generated signal or counter terminal count

The 8-bit PWMDB User Module is a pulse width modulator combined with an 8-bit dead band generator. The pulse width modulator provides a programmable period and pulse width input signal to the dead band generator. The dead band generator outputs two under-lapped signals, with programmable dead time at the same frequency as the input signal. When asserted, the Dead Band Kill input drives the Phase1 and Phase2 output signals low. The clock and enable signals can be selected from several sources. The Phase1 and Phase2 output signals can be routed to the external pin ports or to the global output buses for internal use by other user modules. An interrupt can be programmed to effectively trigger on both edges of the pulse width modulator output.
