Working Principles

The AT42QT2120-MMH operates based on the principle of self-capacitance. Each touch sensor channel acts as a capacitor, and when a conductive object, such as a finger, approaches the sensor, it changes the capacitance value. The AT42QT2120-MMH detects these changes and interprets them as touch inputs.
