Touch Sensor Interfacing with 8051 (TTP223B)

In our previous tutorial, we have seen a Sound detecting sensor interfacing with 8051. In this tutorial, we are going to discuss Touch Sensor Interfacing with 8051 (TTP223B).

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial we should know the below topics. If you know already, please go further.

Components Required

Introduction

The TTP223B is a Digital touchpad detector IC that offers 1 touch key. The touching detection IC is designed for replacing traditional direct button keys with diverse pad sizes. This device uses your body as part of the circuit.

When you touch the sensor pad, the capacitance of the circuit is changed and is detected.  That detected change in capacitance results in the output changing states. In the normal state, the module output low, low power consumption; When a finger touches the corresponding position,  the module output high, if not touched for 12 seconds, switch to low-power mode.

Specification

  • Operating voltage 2.0V~5.5V
  • ƒOperating current @VDD=3V, no-load, SLRFTB=1, At low power mode typical 1.5uA, maximum 3.0uA and At fast mode typical 3.5uA, maximum 7.0uA
  • Operating current @VDD=3V, no-load, SLRFTB=0, At low power mode typical 2.0uA, maximum 4.0uA and At fast mode typical 6.5uA, maximum 13.0uA
  • The response time max about 60mS at fast mode, 220mS at low power mode @VDD=3V
  • Provides Fast mode and Low Power mode selection by pad option(LPMB pin)
  • Operating Temperature:-20 ~ +70 ℃

Touch Sensor Pin Outs

Like a lot of the sensors out there, this is three pin sensor.  You provide power, ground, and monitor the output.

  • SIG – Output (If it detects touch, this will be HIGH otherwise LOW)
  • VCC – 2v to 5.5v
  • GND – Ground

Source Code

If this sensor detects any touch, LCD will display “Touch Detected”.

#include<reg51.h>
#define lcd P3
 
sbit TOUCH=P1^0;
 
sbit rs=P2^0; //register select
sbit rw=P2^1; //RW
sbit en=P2^2; //enable
 
void lcd_init();
void cmd(unsigned char);
void dat(unsigned char);
void delay();
void lcd_string(char *s);
 
void main()
{
    lcd_init();
    lcd_string("  EmbeTronicX   ");
    while(1) {
        if(TOUCH) {
            cmd(0xc0);
            lcd_string("Touch Detected");
            delay();
        } else {
            cmd(0xc0);
            lcd_string("                ");
        }
    }
}
 
void lcd_init()
{
    cmd(0x38);
    cmd(0x0e);
    cmd(0x06);
    cmd(0x01);
    cmd(0x80);
}
 
void cmd(unsigned char a)
{
    lcd=a;
    rs=0;
    rw=0;
    en=1;
    delay();
    en=0;
}
 
void dat(unsigned char b)
{
    lcd=b;
    rs=1;
    rw=0;
    en=1;
    delay();
    en=0;
}
 
void lcd_string(char *s)
{
    while(*s) {
       dat(*s++);
     }
}
 
void delay()
{
    unsigned int i;
    for(i=0;i<20000;i++);
}
