Description
The QST108 is the ideal solution for the design of
capacitive touch sensing user interfaces.
Touch-sensitive controls are increasingly
replacing electromechanical switches in home
appliances, consumer and mobile electronics,
and in computers and peripherals. Capacitive
touch controls allow designers to create stylish,
functional, and economical designs which are
highly valued by consumers, often at lower cost
than the electromechanical solutions they
replace.
The QST108 QTouch™ sensor IC is a pure digital
solution based on Quantum's patented charge-
transfer (QProx™) capacitive technology.
QTouch™ and QProx™ are trademarks of the
Quantum Research Group.
Applications
This device specifically targets human interfaces
and front panels for a wide range of applications
such as PC peripherals, home entertainment
systems, gaming devices, lighting and appliance
controls, remote controls, etc.
QST devices are designed to replace mechanical
switching/control devices and the reduced
number of moving parts in the end product
provides the following advantages:

Device overview
The QST108 capacitive touch sensor IC is a pure digital solution based on Quantum's
patented charge-transfer (QProx™) capacitive technology.
This technology allows users to create simple touch panel sensing electrode interfaces for
conventional or flexible printed circuit boards (PCB/FPCB). Sensing electrodes are part of
the PCB layout (copper pattern or printed conductive ink) and may be used in various
shapes (circle, rectangular, etc.).
By implementing the QProx™ charge-transfer algorithm, the QST108 detects finger
presence (human touch) near electrodes behind a dielectric (glass, plastic, wood, etc.). Only
one external sampling capacitor by channel is used in the measuring circuitry to control the
detection.
QST technology also incorporates advanced processing techniques such as drift
compensation, auto-calibration, noise filtering, and Quantum's patented Adjacent Key
Suppression™ (AKS™) to ensure maximum usability and control integrity.
In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers this device in ECOPACK®
packages. These packages have a lead-free second level interconnect. The category of
second level interconnect is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in
compliance with JEDEC Standard JESD97.
The maximum ratings related to soldering conditions are also marked on the inner box label.
ECOPACK is an ST trademark. ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com.
