| "Protecting" capacitive touch buttons from LED PWM signal |
| (1/1) |
| 3dgeo:
Hi, I'm working on a project where I'm using cap touch buttons and RGB LED near them. I found that it's recommended to use 10nF bypass capacitors on LED leads to reduce LED power lines influence on touch pads. Each pin of a LED is PWMed – anode about 500 Hz, cathodes 100-200 kHz. Will 10nF cap do any good in this situation or it will mess things up? Currently LEDs are in the middle of the Tpad, but on a next revision I will add on top of LEDs another PCB (will be 2.4mm gap between PCBs) with Tpads and ground on a bottom to reduce influence. Don't know if this makes any different but TP ICs I'm testing is TTP229-LSF and TS20. Ideas? |
