Working Principles

The STMPE16M31QTR utilizes capacitive touch sensing technology to detect touch input. It measures changes in capacitance caused by the presence of a conductive object, such as a finger, on the touchscreen surface. The touch controller then converts these changes into digital signals that can be interpreted by the device's software.

The device continuously scans the touch sensing channels, monitoring for any changes in capacitance. When a touch is detected, an interrupt signal is generated, notifying the host device to process the touch input.
