B6TS-04LT-000 10PCS PACK

Overview

The B6TS-04LT is a four-channel capacitive touch sensing IC from Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 to 5.5 V and an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 85°C. The device features adaptive self-teaching, auto threshold, and intelligent filtering for environmental tolerance. It supports serial communication via SPI interface with defined clock cycle times and pulse widths. Power consumption is 4.8 mA in normal measurement mode and 0.4 mA during sleep at 3.0–3.3V. The chip includes EEPROM with 10,000 write cycles and 20-year data retention.

Feature Summary

• Adaptive environmental tolerance with self-teaching and continuous drift compensation
• Flexible panel design freedom allowing various non-conducting materials and electrode geometries
• SPI serial interface for programmable output modes including momentary, latching, and data transmission

Applications

• Dishwasher control panels
• Washing machine interfaces
• Oven controls
• Fitness equipment displays
• HVAC controls

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix LT against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm channel count and package type. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -20°C to 85°C operating temperature range. Confirm power supply stability between 3.0V and 5.5V to maintain electrical characteristics. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Validate that the PCB material, such as FR-2 or CEM-1, meets the design guidelines for capacitive sensing.

Selection Notes

Select the B6TS-04LT when exactly four independent touch channels are required. Consider the B6TS-08NF or B6TS-16NF if additional channels are needed. Evaluate the need for SPI interface capabilities versus simple switching outputs. Assess whether the low-power sleep mode of 0.4 mA is sufficient for battery-operated applications. Verify that the single-sided PCB compatibility aligns with manufacturing constraints.

Part Context

The B6TS series expands Omron's switch product range using capacitive measurement principles. It serves as a microcontroller-based solution for Man Machine Interfaces (MMI). The family includes variants with different channel counts to suit various panel sizes. It is designed for integration into household appliances and industrial controls.
