Overview

Description

CAP1203-1-AC3-TR is a 3-channel capacitive touch-sensor IC from the CAP120x family (Microchip). It monitors three touch pads and reports touch events to a microcontroller. Each channel can be configured with its own threshold and debounce, and the device supports auto-calibration to adapt to environment, noise, and aging. It operates with low power and is suitable for battery-powered apps. The sensing is capacitive: touching a pad changes the pad’s capacitance, which the chip detects and converts into a digital output or interrupt for the MCU. The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly; -AC3 and -1 are variant/grade codes. Typical uses include implementing touch buttons on consumer electronics, appliances, remotes, and similar human–machine interfaces.

Features

CAP1203-1-AC3-TR features (concise):
- 3 independent capacitive touch channels (self-capacitance sensing)
- Auto-calibration with ambient noise compensation for stable operation
- Simple serial interface (I2C-like) with programmable registers
- Per-channel and/or global interrupt output for touch events
- Adjustable touch detection thresholds/sensitivity (multi-level)
- Noise filtering and debounce to improve reliability
- Low power operation with fast wake on touch
- Wide operating voltage (typical 2.0–5.5 V)
- Small package; Tape-and-Reel (TR) version for automated assembly
Note: Verify exact voltage range and interface details in the product datasheet for your exact lot.

Pinout

Pin count: 8 pins (8-pin package, tape-and-reel suffix -TR).
Function: The CAP1203-1 is a 3-channel capacitive touch sensor/controller IC. It monitors three touch electrodes, provides configurable sensitivity and auto-calibration, and reports key events via dedicated outputs and an interrupt. Typical pins include VDD, GND, three sensor inputs, three open-drain/key outputs (or multiplexed output pins depending on variant), and an interrupt/flag pin; the device is used to replace mechanical buttons with touch sensing.
