Capacitive-Touch Color Wheel Implementation
Introduction
Application Note 5 V1.0, 2010-08
1 Introduction
This application note describes the Color Wheel Application Kit, a ready-to-use implementation of the touch-
sensing application to adjust light colors with a touch-wheel (Figure 1). The kit is built around the XC822T, a
member of Infineon Technologies 8-bit microcontrollers XC800 Family, which is capable of capacitive touch
detection and LED driving with color control.
The implementation comprises of a touch-wheel PCB board consisting of XC822T, the LEDs and the software
code running on XC822T. This document takes the user through the steps necessary to create their own XC822T1)
solution. The source code provided can be modified and compiled with the free DAvE-Bench tool chain. The user
can download the code into flash, execute it and observe the touch-wheel controls in action.
Please refer to the XC82x User’s Manual for detailed description of the XC822T product.

Color Wheel Features
Application Note 6 V1.0, 2010-08
2 Color Wheel Features
The Color Wheel board starts automatically when the kit is plugged into computer (via USB). This is indicated by
the ‘On/Off’ LED (see LED4 in Figure 6). When a finger moves over the touch-wheel, the software detects the
absolute position of the current finger touch and the color of the RGB LED (D2) changes accordingly. The effect
of the finger position depends on the selected color mode. There are three color modes available:
• Color (‘Hue’)
• Saturation (‘Sat’)
• Brightness (‘Light’)
The three color modes are represented by ‘Hue’, ‘Sat’ and ‘Light’ markings on the top of the respective LEDs as
shown in Figure 1 (or LED3, LED2 and LED1 respectively, as shown in Figure 6). The color modes can be
selected by tapping the centre button. Successive taps on the button cycle through the available color modes, so
the first tap selects ‘Sat’, the second selects ‘Light’ and the third selects ‘Hue’. The respective LED above the
touch-wheel will indicate the current color mode selection.
The main LED is a 3-channel RGB LED (D2), where the color is a combination of the three channels’ relative RGB
values, which are controlled by the PWM signals. When the Color Wheel board is in Color mode, a touch detected
by the touch-wheel will adjust the color aspect. The saturation and brightness aspects remain unchanged, until
the respective Saturation or Brightness mode is selected. The three modes set the HSL (Hue, Saturation,
Lightness) color space, which is converted into RGB space, which is fed into the RGB LED via 3 PWM signals.
The user can therefore adjust the light colors with the touch-wheel and centre button. Please refer to the
Section 3.3 for more details.
The Color Wheel board can be switched off with a continuous press of the centre button (~2s). The ‘On/Off’ LED
indicates the status. When off, the touch-wheel is inactive. Press the centre button again to turn the board on. The
current color mode selection is reset to ‘Hue’ and the RGB LED is reset to the default value.

Application Note 7 V1.0, 2010-08
3 Implementation of Color Wheel Software
The Color Wheel software enables some XC822T device functions, such as Real-Time Clock, Power Down Mode
and LEDTSCU for example. When the Color Wheel board is turned off, it actually enters Power Down Mode. The
device will wake-up every 1 second for less than 500µs, to check if a touch is detected on the centre button. If no
touch is detected, Power Down Mode is re-entered. When a touch is detected, the device will initialize all
parameters and jump to software execution from the main routine. The Color Wheel software flowchart is shown
in Section 3.4.
3.1 Touch Detection Methodology (using Touch-Wheel and LEDTS ROM Library)
The LEDTS ROM Library is enabled, with a customized trip point for touch detection threshold and an oscillation
window for the 4 touch-sense inputs. The centre button uses the TSIN3 touch-sense input, while the touch-wheel
is made up of 3 touch-sense inputs, TSIN0, TSIN1 and TSIN2, as shown in Figure 2. The 4 touch-sense inputs
are represented by bit 3-0 of the output parameters (PADFLAG, PADRESULT and PADERROR) of the LEDTS
ROM Library, FINDTOUCHEDPAD function.
There are two touch detection methodologies used in the Color Wheel Application Kit:
• LEDTS ROM Library touch detection methodology
• Touch-Wheel Library (Library_TouchWheel.lib) touch detection methodology
The centre button uses the LEDTS ROM Library touch detection methodology, while the touch-wheel uses the
Touch-Wheel Library touch detection methodology, as described in Section 3.1.1 and Section 3.1.2 respectively.
Figure 2 Four touch-sense inputs of Color Wheel Application Kit
Note: TSIN3, TSIN0, TSIN1 and TSIN2 are named WHEEL_C, wheel1 (WHEEL_1), wheel2 (WHEEL_2) and
wheel3 (WHEEL_3) respectively, as shown in the diagrams in Figure 2 and Figure 7.
3.1.1 Touch Detection Methodology for the Centre Button
The LEDTS ROM Library is used to detect a touch on the centre button. The outputs of the FINDTOUCHEDPAD
function show whether the centre pad is being touched; i.e. PADRESULT.3 = 1 indicates that the centre pad is
being touched, and the color mode and its respective LED will be updated accordingly.

The pad detection period depends on many parameters, such as the number of pad turns and LED columns
enabled and the accumulation of SFR LTS_TSVAL for example. The ‘All Enabled Pads Accumulated Count
Period’ (AEPACP) is 8.96ms, as defined in Equation (1). The ShortCount determines the minimum ‘valid pad
detection period’ (VPDP). The minimum valid pad detection period is 71.68ms, calculated as shown in
Equation (2).
(1)
where:
• TFD is Time Frame Duration = (((PREscaler x 256)/fCLK) x (Number of Time Slice(s))) = ((42 x 256) / 48MHz)
x 2 Time Slices = 448µs
• Number of Touch-sense inputs is 4
• AccumulatorCounter is defined as 4 in the software code.
(2)
where:
• ShortCount is defined as 0xF8 in the software code
A long touch on the centre button is detected when both PadDownCounter (PDC) is 0x40 and PADFLAG.4 is 1.
This long touch period is 1.71s, defined in Equation (3). If a longer detection period is required, modify PDC to a
smaller value.
(3)
The maximum valid pad detection period is 2.28s, as defined in Equation (4). For this period, the code can be
modified such that PADERROR.3 = 1, indicates a long touch on the centre button.
(4)
Note: PDC is used to keep track of how long the pad is touched. PDC is initialized to be 0xFF at the start of a
detected pad touch, and is decremented once at each All Enabled Pads Accumulated Count Period
(AEPACP). When pad touch is removed, PDC is compared with the user input value, ShortCount, and/or
0x00 to decide if pad touch is valid, invalid or a long touch. PDC is one of the parameters stored in XRAM,
at address 0xF0FF, by the FINDTOUCHEDPAD function.
Note: Please refer to LEDTS ROM Library in the User’s Manual for more details of the FINDTOUCHEDPAD
function, its inputs and its formulas.
3.1.2 Touch Detection Methodology for the Touch-Wheel
The Touch-Wheel Library (Library_TouchWheel.lib linked into the application code and programmed in the flash
memory) is used to detect a touch on the touch-wheel. It is provided as a .lib file and is described in Section 3.2.
The Touch-Wheel Library makes use of the AverageL/H values calculated by the LEDTS ROM Library to
determine the absolute location of the current finger touch on the touch-wheel. In order to keep the averaging
active, the PADFLAG bits are cleared for touch-sense inputs TSIN0, TSIN1 and TSIN2.

3.2 Touch-Wheel Library
The Touch-Wheel Library (Library_TouchWheel.lib) has 2 main functions - calc_touchwheel() and
calc_compensation(). The functions are described in this section.
3.2.1 Calc_Touchwheel() Function
The calc_touchwheel() function provides the status (i.e. whether touch-wheel is touched), the position (the
absolute position of the last touch on the touch-wheel) and the touch-wheel average value as described in Table 1.
3.2.2 Calc_Compensation() Function
The compensation value is one of the user-defined parameters for calc_touchwheel function (see Section 3.2.1).
The compensation values for Wheel1 and Wheel2 are calculated with respect to Wheel3, as shown in
Equation (5) and Equation (6), to ensure that all values are equal under idle (no touch) condition.

The calc_compensation() function provides the compensation values for Wheel1 and Wheel2 as described in
Table 2. The user can call this function during board calibration to obtain an estimation of the compensation
values. The values can be programmed to observe the sensitivity of the touch-wheel and further refined by the
user. This function should be called after an initialization period to get a stable value. Suggested initialization
period is about 640 Time Frame duration or interrupt and it can be calculated from Equation (7).
