The communication interface for this solution is GPO. This Matrix solution is backwards compatible with standard mechanical matrix overlays, offering the required output to communicate with a host processor.

This solution can emulate a typical Keypad Scan Interface similar to that of a mechanical keypad.

Cypress's world leading CapSense® technology is now the easiest to use for matrix keypads. This 16 button configurable solution is ready to provide a quick time-to-market advantage for customers, and contains Cypress's SmartSense, which auto-tunes for variance in temperature, noise, and overlay thickness. SmartSense establishes, monitors, and maintains the matrix SNR (System-to-Noise Ratio) for optimal CapSense performance.

With auto-tuning, the value provided by this solution is simple: the ability to create a unique user interface solution without having to learn or utilize custom programming firmware. The Matrix Keypad is outside of a standard MCU development environment, offering pin configurable solutions for setting button sensitivity, flanking sensor suppression, and General Purpose Output (GPO) functionality. This ends the need to both tune the system in development as well as during test, saving valuable engineering resources.

The Matrix Keypad is also backwards compatible with standard mechanical matrix overlays, offering the requisite output to communicate with a host processor. Customers no longer have to define a completely new interface system for a capacitive transition, but can maintain overall system stability.

The Matrix Keypad is powered by Cypress's world leading CapSense technology, enabled with SmartSense. This potent combination provides significant value to customers who are either new to the embedded space or who lack the development time to build a capacitive system from scratch.

CapSense has led the capacitive market for years, through robust noise immunity, flexible performance, and the ability to quickly create a platform system. In Matrix applications, CapSense offers low power consumption, small form factor for layout considerations, high performance across various overlays and thickness. With the addition of SmartSense, no firmware coding is necessary to implement this functional Matrix system. The CapSense device will automatically detect a change in a parameter such as temperature and adjust in-system, eliminating the need for intensive tuning.

World leading technology that is the easiest to use makes the CapSense Matrix Keypad a simple design decision for engineers.

Integrated USB and I2C interface option make it versatile for embedded and embedded PC applications.

Availability for the full swing (5V / Vcc) capsense voltage range makes the design very robust.

Optimal SNR enables tick overlay (up to 6mm glass) support widely needed for industrial, medical and automotive applications.

Integrated IDAC availability allows the implementation of several design features like self calibration (system auto tuning) for easy system tuning to design changes, production tolerances and variances. The same enables a dynamic finger threshold providing an equalized user experience to different finger sizes while providing glove operation support.

The PSoC flexibility did allow for a CapSense-like user design approach for Force sensor creating an homogenous design environment for all sensor solutions.

PSoC 1 based industrial timer provides cost effective, programmable solution to meet the market requirements. The solution is available in two flavors.

1. Timers with display (based on CY8C27x43 family)
2. Timers without display i.e. blind timers (based on CY8C24x23A, CY8C21x23 families)

In blind timers, potentiometers and DIP switches are used to set the ON / OFF time, time range, unit of time and mode. The on-chip ADC is used to interface with the potentiometers. Blind timers start timing operation immediately after it is powered ON. There is no control input logic in blind timers.

The relay outputs are turned ON (or) OFF based on the timing logic. The LEDs indicate the relay status and power on status.

The Temperature Controller Solution, based on Cypress’s PSoC® programmable system-on chip device, is a universal input temperature controller that supports RTD, J, K, R, and S types of thermocouples, 4-20 mA current input, and 0-10 V DC input. The solution runs the PID algorithm with auto-tuning feature.

The analog integration in PSoC makes it a single-chip solution and eliminates the need for external components such as Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA), voltage reference, and analog multiplexer that are required for signal conditioning. The solution has automatic cold junction compensation. It is also compensated for drift and stability over the entire operating temperature range.

The measured temperature is displayed in a four-digit, seven segment display. There are user keys to set parameters such as type of temperature sensor, set points, and hysteresis. The settings are stored in an on-chip flash memory. There are two programmable relay outputs - one for heating and cooling and one for PID logic. The solution is based on PSoC 1 (CY8C28452) and available in a small form factor. It is designed and developed by Triveni Electronics, one of Cypress’s premier design partners in India. The solution is highly programmable for any temperature sensor input and can be quickly customized to meet the specific needs of any temperature controller / indicator vendor.

• Based on Cypress’s CapSense technology.
• No mechanical movement and hence no wear and tear that results in longer span of switches
• Can be controlled with smooth touch.
• Can be commissioned easily on the existing switch board.
• Occupies less space than the conventional module switches.
• Stylish and aesthetic design gives elegant look.
• LED indicator for ON/OFF status and for current speed of fan (or) dimming status of light.

• Spill proof body and no need for mechanical cutout on the boards.
• Robust design and production ready solution.

The CapSense based fan regulators and switches solution uses Cypress’s Capsense technology for touch controlled ON/OFF of switches and swipe controlled speed variation of fans. The modules can be used as electrical switches.

The module’s unique size allows to commission on the existing switch board itself without doing any alterations on the wiring. Since there is no any mechanical moving parts, the life of the module switches lasts for long. The stylish design of the body looks elegant.

The different available modules are unique in size and this leads advantages of easy commissioning. The robust design of the fan regulator works without any hum noise in slower speed.
