1. Introduction
Abstract
This document describes how to implement capacitive sensing functionality using Cypress’s CapSense
®
Express
CY8CMBR2044 device. The following topics are covered in this guide:

Features of the CY8CMBR2044

CapSense principles of operation

Configuration options of the CY8CMBR2044 device

Using the Design Toolbox with the CY8CMBR2044

System electrical and mechanical design considerations for the CY8CMBR2044

Low-power design considerations for the CY8CMBR2044

Additional resources and support for designing CapSense into your system
Cypress’s CapSense Documentation Ecosystem
Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 summarize the CapSense

documentation ecosystem. These resources allow the
implementers to quickly access the information they need to complete a CapSense product design. Figure 1-1 shows
a typical product design cycle with capacitive sensing; this document covers the topics highlighted in green. Table 1-1
offers links to supporting documents for each of the numbered tasks in Figure 1-1 .
