active state (scan all sensors, update all baselines, check if any sensor is in the TOUCH state, and so on), and then
returns to sleep state. The resulting instantaneous current graph is shown in Figure 3-23.

The average current consumed by the device over a long period can be calculated by using the following equation.

The average power consumed by the device can be calculated as follows:

3.5.3 Response Time versus Power Consumption
As illustrated in Equation 25, the average power consumption can be reduced by decreasing I

or V

AVE
may be
decreased by increasing sleep time. Increasing sleep time to a very high value leads to poor response time of the
CapSense button. Because of this tradeoff between response time and power consumption, the application developer
must carefully select the sleep time based on system requirements.
In any application, if both power consumption and response time are important parameters to be considered, then, an
optimized method can be used that incorporates both continuous-scan and sleep-scan modes. In this method, the
device spends most of its time in sleep-scan mode where it scans the sensors and goes to sleep periodically as
explained in the previous section and thereby consuming less power. When you touch a sensor to operate the
system, the device jumps to continuous-scan mode where the sensors are scanned continuously without invoking
sleep and thereby giving very good response time. The device remains in continuous-scan mode for a specified
time-out period. If you do not operate any sensor within this time-out period, the device returns to the sleep-scan
mode.
3.6 Pin Assignments
An effective method to reduce interaction between CapSense sensor traces and communication and non-CapSense
traces is to isolate each by port assignment. Figure 3-24 shows a basic version of this isolation for a 32-pin QFN
package. Because each function is isolated, the CapSense controller is oriented such that there is no crossing of
communication, LED, and sensing traces.
