Product Description:

1.General Description
    The integrated circuit MS8891A is an ultra-low power, two channel capacitive sensor specially designed for human body detection. It offers two operating modes: meter mode or switch mode. In switch mode the sensor capacitance is compared with the internal reference capacitance. The sensor output changes polarity if the sensor capacitance falls below or rises above a threshold capacitance. The threshold capacitance can be individually set for both channels.
    The MS8891A can also be operated in meter mode where the absolute capacitance values of the sensor channels are measured. The MS8891A is configured via an I2C serial interface. The comparator outputs are available at circuit pins in switch mode or can be read via the I2C serial interface. The configuration of the various options and the operation of the meter mode are done via the I2C serial interface. After programming the configuration to the one-time programmable (OTP) memory, the MS8891A can be operated in switch mode as a stand-alone solution.
