LDS6025
PureTouch™ Capacitance Touch IC with
Integrated Keypad LED Drivers
The LDS6025 PureTouch™ controller empowers system designers to create streamlined, attractive and
reliable product designs with capacitive touch controls. Integrated LED drivers allow visual feedback to
be implemented when a touch occurs, without the need for host intervention.
Description
The LDS6025 is a programmable capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) designed for use with capacitive
sensor arrays implementing touch-based input controls including sliders, scroll wheels, and buttons.
Featuring 10 sensor inputs, 5 of which are dual-purpose I/Os configurable as either capacitive sensor
inputs or keypad LED drivers, the LDS6025 provides the flexibility to implement multiple touch inputs with
integrated lighting effects using a single controller.
When configured for capacitive sensing, the I/Os are directed through an integrated switch matrix to a
500 kHz sigma-delta CDC which senses changes in the external sensor array. When a sufficiently large
change in capacitance occurs, a sensor activation is registered and the host processor is notified. LED
lighting effects are automatically initiated by a touch event with no processor intervention required.
On-chip calibration logic continuously monitors the environment and automatically adjusts on-and-off
threshold levels to prevent false sensor activation. The LDS6025 is offered with both SPI-compatible and
I2C-compatible interfaces (active interface selected by I/F select pin) and features a general-purpose input/
output (GPIO) and interrupt output for additional communication with the host processor.

Integrated keypad LED drivers
The LDS6025 features integrated keypad LED drivers enabling the implementation of visual feedback for
touch-based controls and fun lighting effects. The keypad LEDs may be powered either from Vbattery
directly or from a regulated voltage supply. On/off transition times are programmed globally for all LEDs
and maximum current may be programmed for each LED individually. LEDs may be either manually
controlled or synchronized to automatically trigger when a touch event occurs.
Ideal solution for portable applications
The LDS6025 is optimized for minimal power consumption, with touch sensor circuits operating from
a 1.8V supply voltage. In full power mode, sensor conversion and calibration occur continuously,
minimizing the time between touch event and touch detection. With its ultra-low touch sensor power
consumption of <150 uW (typical), the LDS6025 may be operated continuously in full power mode,
eliminating the need for introduced latencies that can cause noticeable delays and degrade the
user experience.
The total solution footprint is also optimized for portable applications, with the functionality of multiple
components consolidated into a single device. With integrated keypad LED driver functionality, the
LDS6025 is a flexible solution combining the functionality of two discrete ICs into a compact 4mm x 4mm
