2.0 TYPICAL CIRCUIT
The MTCH101 can work either as a stand-alone device
to control a LED (see Figure 2-1) to indicate touch/
proximity, or work with host MCU (see Figure 2-2).

3.0 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The sensitivity of the system determines how far and
fast it can respond to proximity or touch. The MTCH101
provides the MTSA pin to adjust the sensitivity, and the
voltage on this pin will determine the sensitivity. V
DD
voltage will give the lowest sensitivity, while GND
voltage will give the highest sensitivity.
The device will sample the voltage on the MTSA pin
after each scan, so it does not only support setting a
fixed sensitivity by a resistor ladder, but it also allows
adjusting the sensitivity dynamically, while the device is
running. A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
controlled by the host, or a hardware potentiometer can
be used to adjust the sensitivity. See typical circuit in
Figure 3-1 to Figure 3-4.

4.0 POWER MODE
The MTCH101 has two power mode options: Normal
mode and Low-Power mode. The state of the MTPM
pin determines the power mode.
4.1 Normal Mode Option
The device will run in Normal mode if the MTPM pin is
set high and no proximity or touch is detected. In this
mode, after an active scan, sleep time is between 69
and 105 ms, as shown in Figure 4-1. The sleep time
depends on the V
DD voltage, the lower the voltage, the
more time it will be in the Idle state.
FIGURE 4-1: NORMAL MODE
4.2 Low-Power Mode Option
The device will run in Low-Power mode if the MTPM pin
is set low and no proximity or touch is detected. In this
mode, after an active scan, sleep time is between 572
and 845 ms, as shown in Figure 4-2. As in Normal
mode, the sleep time depends on the V
DD voltage, the
lower the voltage, the more time it will be in the Idle
state.
FIGURE 4-2: LOW-POWER MODE
Note: If the device makes a proximity or touch
detection, it will automatically perform
active scans continually. Once the device
releases from its proximity-detected state,
it will return to the power mode set by the
MTPM pin.
