Rev. A, 11/19/2014 

DESCRIPTION 

The IS31SE5104 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 
solution for capacitive touch applications with up to 4 
surfaces. The chip allows electrodes to project sense 
fields through any dielectric such as glass or plastic. 
On-chip calibration logic continuously monitors the 
environment and automatically adjusts on-and-off 
threshold levels to prevent false sensor activation. 

The IS31SE5104 is fully programmable via a 400kHz 
I2C serial bus protocol. 

 

FEATURES 

 

Supply voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V 

 

I2C interface, 1.8V/2.8V is allowed 

 

Auto offset compensation 

 

Fully integrated sense controller with 4 capacitive 
touch inputs 

 

Interrupt driven output 

 Adjustable 

sensitivity 

with 

external capacitor or by 

internal register 

 

Low power consumption   

 

ESD HBM 8kV 

 

IC controller in QFN-16 (3mm × 3mm)

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT 

 

5.0V, 500mA power supply

 

 

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS 

 

 5.5V power supply

 

Caution: Do not exceed the conditions listed above, otherwise 
the board will be damaged. 

 

PROCEDURE 

The IS31SE5104 evaluation board is fully assembled 
and tested. Follow the steps listed below to verify 
board operation. 

Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections 
are completed. 

1)  Connect the ground lead of the power supply to 

the EVB GND terminal and the positive lead to the 
EVB VCC terminal. Or use the connector (DC IN) 
with a power adaptor: jack size 3.5mm x 1.35mm. 

2)  Turn on the power supply and pay attention to the 

supply current. If the current exceeds 100mA, 
please check for a circuit fault. 

 

EVALUATION BOARD OPERATION 

This evaluation board is controlled by a 
pre-programmed P89LPC922 (80C51 core). 

IS31SE5104 evaluation board has 4 touch surfaces 
designed on a 2mm thick acrylic board to induce a 
dielectric. Each touch surface has an associated LED 
that will light when the corresponding surface area is 
touched.

increases as it approaches the sense area. The 
IS31SE5104 detects this increase in capacitance and 
turns on the associated LED.
