• Other conditions: Ci, 90 pF; vdd3v, 3.3 V; S_XIN, 1/4; S_XCH, 1/2.
•
: Configure the Decimation, Order, and Cutoff as 1, and the final scan result is 110. TSI performs scan
operation for one time, and the scan time is 239 μs.
•
: Change the Decimation to 2, and the final scan result becomes 220. TSI performs scan twice, and the scan
time is 448, about twice of the previous 239 μs.
•
16 times, and the scan time is 3390 μs, saving time by setting order = 2.
By comparing the test results when setting order to 1 and order to 2, the conclusion is:
Increasing TSI conversion result (TSICNT) means to cost longer scan time. When TSI performs multiple scans, it is recommended
to set order to 2 to reduce interference and save touch electrode scan time. Then change the Decimation and Cutoff to adjust the
TSI conversion result. Increase TSI conversion result means longer scan time.
The scan time in this table is measured by the LPTMR module. That is, start LPTMR on the TSI scan start, stop LPTMR on the
TSI scan end, and then read the LPTMR counter to estimate the time cost. There are some inevitable small errors and differences
between LPTMR measurement and real TSI scan time.
2.5.2 Sensitivity test result when sensitivity boost feature enable
When the sensitivity boost function is enabled, NSTEP is calculated by
