Introduction

Thank you for your interest in the CY3280-MBR CapSense

®

 Express™ with SmartSense™ Auto-

Tuning Kit. The kit is designed to showcase the abilities of configurable capacitive sensing controller
CY8CMBR2044. This controller is equipped with SmartSense, which allows engineers to go from
prototyping to mass production without re-tuning for manufacturing variations in PCB and/or overlay
material properties. For more information, visit

1.1

Kit Contents

CY3280-MBR Kit

Two AAA batteries 

Overlay - Clear acrylic overlays with matt finish on one side in 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm thickness. 
2 mm thick overlay is stuck to the board

Axial capacitors 10 pF, 22 pF, 33 pF, 68 pF 

Quick Start Guide

1.2

Installation

No software installation is required to make the kit work.

1.3

Features of CY3280-MBR Kit Board

Four CapSense buttons of different dimensions

Four LEDs connected to general purpose output pins

CapSense based power button and power indicator LED

Operates from external power supply and battery

Expansion slots, allowing I/O to expand to external boards

1.4

Factory Default Configuration

When shipped, this kit is stuck with the 2 mm overlay; switch SW1 is in Toggle On position and
switch SW2 is in Sleep Off position. The LED is expected to turn on when the corresponding button
is touched. The kit is configured to provide an approximate battery life of one year in standby mode.
If deep sleep mode of CapSense controller is enabled, current consumption can be reduced to 100
nA and the battery life increases accordingly. The deep sleep mode is not enabled in this kit as a
host controller is recommended to enable this mode.

Note

The kit is in standby mode when the CapSense controller based power button and the

demonstration buttons and LEDs are in inactive state.
