PT8A2646PE is a series of interface ICs for contactless and touchless capacitive sensors. The series is developed to protect and sensibilize capacitive sensors from external disturbances, to reduce the self-capacitance or mutual capacitance of capacitive sensors and finally to offer a simple interface to the outside of sensor elements. The product covers a wide range of applications for touchless and contactless sensoring, including but not limited to, wall switches, elevator control, automated doors and lamps etc.

The PT8A2646PE is built around a 12-bit, high-speed CMOS analog-to-digital converter, that features 8-bit resolution. The 12-bit internal resolution and the extended analog voltage range allow the design of high-resolution sensors and touchless user interfaces. An internal built-in amplifier with programmable gain allows a wide range of sensing distances between 1 to 100mm. The product can sense up to 8 channels independently and is fully programmable so it can be adapted to different kinds of applications and user interfaces.

The working principle of PT8A2646PE is about capacitive sensing. It uses the capacitive sensing technique to detect the proximity or the touch of a hand or any other object, in a very short proximity or touchable range. It works by detecting small changes in the capacitance of a material due to the presence of a hand or other objects near or in contact with the material. This change in capacitance is converted into an electronic signal that then can be analyzed to determine the presence or absence of a hand or object.

In order to use the PT8A2646PE in a capacitive sensing application, it is necessary to first define the elements that will form the capacitive sensing circuit. The capacitive sensing circuit consists of a sensing electrode, a ground electrode, and an interface IC. The sensing electrode is typically a conductive material and the ground electrode is typically a reference voltage of low impedance connected to ground. The interface IC is the PT8A2646PE and it is responsible for sensing and controlling the capacitance of the sensing element.

The PT8A2646PE is configured by connecting the sensing element to the input port of the IC and the ground electrode to the ground port of the IC. When the IC senses a change in the capacitance of the sensing element due to the presence of a hand or object, it sends a signal to the output port. This signal can then be used by a circuit, or other device, to determine the presence or absence of the hand or object. Additionally, by adjusting the gain of the IC, the detection distance of the sensing element can be increased.

In general, the PT8A2646PE series ICs are designed to provide an accurate and robust solution for capacitive sensing applications. With their highly integrated architecture, they provide a cost-effective and reliable reference design for smart applications like wall switches, elevator control, automated door and lighting etc. They are also easy to setup and configure and are highly suitable for different industrial and consumer applications.
