The sensor array can consist of combinations of independent sensors, sliding sensors, and touchpads implemented as a pair of orthogonal sliding sensors. High level software routines accommodate slider diplexing. Slider diplexing allows a single pin to measure two electrical sensors in two different physical locations. Diplexing provides resolution enhancement of the slider without the cost of an additional I/O.

This incorrect clock setup was not shown by previous version of PSoC Creator. The warning that comes during build of example projects states as:

    Clock Warning: A clock marked as "Sync" cannot be faster than half the frequency of the clock synchronizing it.

    To remove this warning, please do the following in example project:

    1. Go to TopDesign of the project.
    2. Double click the CapSense component.
    3. Under General Tabs, in the Clock Settings, change the Scan Clock from 24 MHz to 12 MHz.

Hence, to set the slider resolution parameter for these devices, the ‘Generate Project’ icon must be clicked. Once the relevant APIs and .asm files are attached to the project, CSA_HL.asm file must be opened and the portion stating CSA_SLIDER_RESOLUTION_TABLE: @SliderResolutionTable must be replaced by CSA_SLIDER_RESOLUTION_TABLE: dw 0x64. Here, the value 64 indicates a slider resolution of 100 represented in HEX. You may type the resolution of your choice in HEX. Once the modification is made, the file must be saved and built using ‘Build project’ icon. You may also do the same by pressing F7. After modification, the ‘Generate Project’ icon must not be clicked as it would remove the modification made.

Not only are there more, but they also need to be easily installable into increasing more contoured control surfaces. They also have to be cost effective, ruling out hermetically sealed switches. One approach gaining momentum is to convert to capacitive touch switches (cap sense). With no mechanical parts, as well as the ability to conform to contoured surfaces, cap sense switches provide the reliability and cost point required by the automotive industry.

    ]]>     Tue, 03 Jul 2012 02:28:33 -0600     Configuring a CY8C201xx Device for Use Either with External Pull-ups or With a Master Operating at Different VDD – KBA80735 http://www.cypress.com/?rID=64957 Answer: The CY8C201xx devices support internal pull-up resistors on I2C lines. Table 1 shows the factory default settings for internal pull-up resistors.
     

    Table 1: Factory Default Values for Internal Pull-Up Setting
     

    Device
    Internal Pull-Up (factory default)
    CY8C20111/21
    Disabled
    CY8C201A0
    Enabled
    CY8C20110/80/60/40/42
    Enabled


    The setting for the internal pull-up resistors must match the requirements of the overall design. When the setting is incorrect, the following problems can occur:
     

    • Pull-ups should be sized correctly to meet rise time and IOL requirements in an I2C design. Use of internal pull-ups enabled in combination with external pull-ups in a CapSense® device reduces the effective resistance. Proper bus operation is not guaranteed.
    • Consider the scenario in which the CapSense device operates at 3.3 V with internal pull-ups enabled while the master operates at 1.8 V and external pull-ups pull the bus to 1.8 V. Bus voltage (VIH) seen by the master is between 1.8 V and 3.3 V due to the voltage divider formed by internal and external pull-ups. This condition can damage the master device.
       
    In the above scenarios, it is recommended to DISABLE the internal pull-up resistor. This has to be done during the device configuration, before soldering it in the end system. To enable or disable the internal pull-up resistors, configure the I2CDM bit (MSB) in the I2C_ADDR_DM (7Ch) register. For more information, see CY8C201xx : Register Reference Guide.

    Overview:

    This PSoC CapSensePLUS Evaluation Kit features a development board for the CY8C24794-24LFXI PSoC device. Special features of the board include both USB and capacitive touch sense development and debugging support. This evaluation board also includes an LCD module, potentiometer, LEDs, an enunciator and plenty of bread boarding space to meet all of your evaluation needs. The CY3214-PSoCEvalUSB board features an on-chip debugger and can be connected directly to an ICE-Cube (available in the CY3215-DK) for a full featured in-circuit emulation and debugging. A MiniProg programming unit is also included in this kit. The MiniProg programming unit will program PSoC devices directly on the evaluation board or on other boards via a 5-pin header. The MiniProg is small and compact and connects to the user's PC via a USB 2.0 cable (provided in the kit).

    Please visit the Getting Started with PSoC 1page which will guide you through your first steps. It provides basic information about software, technical documentation, training and support infrastructure.

    Inside this kit you'll find:

    • PSoCEvalUSB board
