BU21079F-E2 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BU21079F-E2 is a capacitive switch controller IC designed for touch and proximity sensing in various electronic devices. It integrates a capacitive sensor analog front end, A/D converter, and microcontroller logic with an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The device operates from a single power supply ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V and features automatic self-calibration to compensate for external noise and temperature drift.

 

Key electrical specifications include a typical operating current of 2.5 mA and a typical detect cycle time of 6 msec. The IC supports up to 8 capacitive sensor ports and can be configured to scan up to 16 switches in a matrix arrangement. It also provides continued touch detection and generates an interrupt when a switch operation is detected, making it suitable for low-power applications.

 

The BU21079F-E2 is available in a 16-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width) package, also designated as 16-SOP, with surface-mount mounting. Typical applications include electronic devices with multiple switches, information appliances such as printers, AV equipment like digital TVs and HDD recorders, notebook PCs, and home appliances including air-conditioners, refrigerators, and rice cookers.
