Overview
This xCHIP is based on the CAP1296 which is a multiple channel capacitive touch (https://en.wikip
edia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing) sensor controller. Each sensor input is calibrated to compensate
for system parasitic capacitance and automatically recalibrated to compensate for gradual
environmental changes. In addition, the CAP1296 can be configured to detect proximity on one or
more channels with an optional signal guard to reduce noise sensitivity. The CAP1296 includes
Multiple Pattern Touch recognition that allows the user to select a specific set of buttons to be
touched simultaneously. If this pattern is detected, a status bit is set and an interrupt is generated.
