1.2.1 Capacitive Sensing Device on the Evaluation Board
The CAP1188 device was chosen for the evaluation board because it has the most sensors and LEDs
in the CAP11xx family.
Note:
The CAP1114 and CAP1214 devices, each with 14 sensors and 11 LED drivers, contain
additional features such as slider support which will be highlighted in their own evaluation
board.
The CAP1298 device was chosen for the evaluation board because it is the superset device in the
family, meaning it has the most sensors and features in the CAP12xx family including the signal guard.
The CAP1188, CAP1166, CAP1128, CAP1126, CAP1133, and CAP1106 are similar, with the exception
of the number of capacitive sensor inputs and LED drivers, as shown in
