In this post, we will cover its details about the different paramerts such as working, pinouts, and applications so let get started.
Introduction to MPR121 Capacitive Touch Sensor
- MPR121 is a capacitive touch sensing device that operates through I2c interfacing. This board can be regulated till the 12 single electrodes with 13 simulated electrodes,
- There are 8 light-emitting diode pins it has when these pins are not used as electrodes work to operate any LED.
- It comes with 4 jumpers wires that adjust with the default setting.
- Jumper connects with the Add pinout with the ground it indicates that the default address of the board will be 0x5A
- Before varying the address of the board there must open jumper. Jumper also has SDA, SCL and interrupt pinout with the ten kilo pull-up resistances.
- There is no existence of regulation at the board hence voltage is given must be between 2.5 to 3.6 volts dc.
- The connection of VREG pin to ground with the series combination of 0.1 microFarad capacitor that indicates till you will not adjust the board MPR121 can not run for supply volts of 1.71 to 2.75 volts dc
MPR121 Pinout
- The main pinout of MPR121 are discussed here
- 0 to 11: These pins are used as inputs for capacitive sensors.
- GND: It is ground pins
- ADD: it used as an address selector of I2c
- SDA: It used for serial transmission of data through i2c
- SCL: Serial clock is given here
- IRQ: It is an open-drain interrupt output pinout
- 3.3V: Input power is given here
MPR121 Features
- Its main features are discussed here
- The voltage range for this board is 1.71 to 3.6 volts
- twenty-nine microamperes input current can it get
- its shutdown current is three microamperes
- It comes with twelve electrodes on board
- It has a led operating circuit with eight led pins
- Its operating temperature is minus forty to plus eighty five centigrade temperature
MPR121 Applications
- The main applications of MPR121 discuss here
- It used in computer systems
- Used in sound systems
- It is used in circuits of remote controllers of different devices
- It used in mobile
- Employed for control of light through sensors without a switch
