Multiple Touch Pattern Configuration Register

The Multiple Touch Pattern Configuration register controls the settings for the multiple touch pattern detection circuitry.

This circuitry works like the multiple touch detection circuitry with the following differences:

The detection threshold is a percentage of the touch detection threshold as defined by the MTP_TH[1:0] bits

whereas the multiple touch circuitry uses the touch detection threshold.

The MTP detection circuitry either will detect a specific pattern of sensor inputs as determined by the Multiple

Touch Pattern register settings or it will use the Multiple Touch Pattern register settings to determine a minimum

number of sensor inputs that will cause the MTP circuitry to flag an event (see Section 5.15, "Multiple Touch Pat-

tern Register"). When using pattern recognition mode, if all of the sensor inputs set by the Multiple Touch Pattern

set, the MTP bit will be set. When using the absolute number mode, if the number of sensor inputs with thresholds

above the MTP threshold or with Noise Flag Status bits set is equal to or greater than this number, the MTP bit

will be set.

When an MTP event occurs, all touches are blocked and an interrupt is generated.

All sensor inputs will remain blocked so long as the requisite number of sensor inputs are above the MTP thresh-

old or have Noise Flag Status bits set. Once this condition is removed, touch detection will be restored. Note that

the MTP status bit is only cleared by writing a ‘0’ to the INT bit once the condition has been removed.

Bit 7 - MTP_EN - Enables the multiple touch pattern detection circuitry.

• ‘0’ (default) - The MTP detection circuitry is disabled.

• ‘1’ - The MTP detection circuitry is enabled.

Bits 3 - 2 - MTP_TH[1:0] - Determine the MTP threshold, as shown in Table 5-26. This threshold is a percentage of sen-

sor input threshold (see Section 5.18, "Sensor Input Threshold Registers") for inputs enabled in the Active state or of

the standby threshold (see Section 5.23, "Standby Threshold Register") for inputs enabled in the Standby state.

Bit 1 - COMP_PTRN - Determines whether the MTP detection circuitry will use the Multiple Touch Pattern register as a

specific pattern of sensor inputs or as an absolute number of sensor inputs.

• ‘0’ (default) - The MTP detection circuitry will use the Multiple Touch Pattern register bit settings as an absolute

minimum number of sensor inputs that must be above the threshold or have Noise Flag Status bits set. The num-

ber will be equal to the number of bits set in the register.

• ‘1’ - The MTP detection circuitry will use pattern recognition. Each bit set in the Multiple Touch Pattern register

indicates a specific sensor input that must have a delta count greater than the MTP threshold or have a Noise Flag

Status bit set. If the criteria are met, the MTP status bit will be set.
