The kit can be powered by connecting the micro-USB cable to the USB connector on the board and to the computer. On initial power-up, the QT1010 requires approximately 100 ms to power on, to allow power supplies to stabilize. During this time, the OUT-pin state is not valid and should be ignored. 3.2 Operation Modes The kit operates in three different operation modes, which depend on the state of the SYNC pin (High or Low). 3.2.1 Fast Mode The QT1010 runs in Fast mode if the SYNC pin is permanently high. In this mode, the QT1010 runs at maximum speed at the expense of increased current consumption. Fast mode is useful when speed of response is the prime design requirement. The delay between bursts (= touch scans) in Fast mode is approximately 1 ms. 3.2.2 Low-Power Mode The QT1010 runs in Low-Power (LP) mode if the SYNC pin is held low. In this mode, it sleeps for approximately 80 ms at the end of each burst, saving power but slowing response. On detecting a possible key touch, it temporarily switches to Fast mode until either the key touch is confirmed or found to be spurious (via the detect integration process). It then returns to LP mode after the key touch is resolved. 3.2.3 Sync Mode It is possible to synchronize the device to an external clock source by placing an appropriate waveform on the SYNC pin. SYNC mode can synchronize multiple QT1010 devices to each other to prevent crossinterference, or it can be used to enhance noise immunity from low-frequency sources such as 50 Hz or 60 Hz mains signals. The SYNC pin is sampled at the end of each burst. (c) 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. User Guide DS40002062A-page 5 AT42QT1010 Documentation and Relevant Links 4.

Hardware Revision History and Known Issues 5.1 Identifying Product ID and Revision Kits have stickers that have the identifier and revision printed in plain text as A09-nnnn/rr, where 'nnnn' is the identifier and 'rr' is the revision. Boards with limited space have a sticker with only a data matrix code, which contains a serial number string. The serial number string has the following format: "nnnnrrssssssssss" n = product identifier r = revision s = serial number The product identifier for the AT42QT1010 Evaluation Kit is A09-3207. 5.2 Revision 4 Revision 4 of AT42QT1010 (A09-3207/04) is the initial released version. There are no known issues. (c) 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. User Guide DS40002062A-page 7 AT42QT1010 Document Revision History 6.

Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip's Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
