10pcs MPR121 12-Channel Capacitive Touch Module I²C Interface -40°C~85°C, 4 Address Options, 29μA Quiescent Current, for STM32 Arduino
1. Key Parameters Core Chip: MPR121QR2 (Freescale Capacitive Touch Controller) Supply Voltage: 2.5V–3.6V DC (Absolute Max: 3.6V; 5V Destructive!) Quiescent Current: 29μA @ 16ms Sampling Rate (Stop Mode: 3μA) Touch Channels: 12 Independent Electrodes (Supports Proximity Detection) I²C Interface: Address Range: 0x5A (Default, ADDR=GND), 0x5B (ADDR=VCC), 0x5C (ADDR=SDA), 0x5D (ADDR=SCL) Speed: Up to 400kHz (4.7kΩ Pull-up Required) GPIO/LED Control: 8 Multiplexed Pins (Configurable as LED Drivers or Logic I/O) Response Time: 64ms (All 12 Channels) Operating Temp.: -40°C to +85°C (Reliable) Dimensions: 30.5mm × 20.6mm × 1.6mm (Standard Breakout Board) Certifications: RoHS Compliant . 2. Pin Functions VCC: Power Input (2.5V–3.6V) - Requires stable 3.3V LDO; 5V tolerance = 0V! GND: Ground - Star topology to all ground pins. SCL: I²C Clock Line - Sync data transmission; connect 4.7kΩ pull-up resistor to 3.3V. SDA: I²C Data Line - Transfer commands/sensor data; 4.7kΩ pull-up required. IRQ: Interrupt Output - Active-low open-drain; asserts on touch/release events. ADD: Address Select - Tie to GND (0x5A), VCC (0x5B), SDA (0x5C), or SCL (0x5D) for multi-device setups. ELE0–ELE11: Electrode Inputs - Connect to capacitive pads (copper tape/PCB traces); max trace length: 20cm. 3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1: I²C communication fails (address not found) A: Confirm ADD pin configuration (default: 0x5A if ADDR=GND). Add 4.7kΩ pull-ups on SDA/SCL to 3.3V (omit if board includes pull-ups) .
