Device Pin Assignment

Table 1 shows the pin assignment for the MPR03X. For a more detailed description of the functionality of each pin, refer to the

appropriate chapter.

The package available for the MPR03X is a 2 x 2 mm 8 pin

μDFN. The package and pinout is shown in Figure 3.

Recommended System Connections

The MPR03X Capacitive Touch Sensor Controller requires one external passive component. As shown in Table 1, the REXT line

should have a 75 k

Ω connected from the pin to GND. This resistor needs to be 1% tolerance.

4.7 k

Ω pull-up resistor should be included on the IRQ.

The remaining three connections are SCL, SDA, IRQ. Depending on the specific application, each of these control lines can be

interface to communicate with the MPR03X. All of the connections for the MPR03X are shown by the schematic in Figure 4.
