ZYSWITCH keypads
06.06.2009
ZYSWITCH is a robust replacement for soft membrane switches based upon Zytronic’s embedded Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™)
ZYSWITCH® is a robust, PCT (Projected Capacitive Technology) - based replacement for soft membrane switches. The capacitive sensing is completely solid state with no moving parts; this contributes to its high reliability and durability, which allows custom keypads to benefit from a zero wear-out mechanism and high resistance to scratches and physical or chemical damage.
ZYSWITCH® keypads can be customized to any shape or size required
ZYSWITCH® is suitable for applications that require a keypad or a number of up to 16 buttons, such as domestic appliances, elevator controls, and alarm systems.
ZYSWITCH® has two modes of output:
- Serial output:
In this mode the ZYSWITCH® controller uses 1 output pin when the switch is touched. The switch number is transferred serially at 9600 baud, N81 (No parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit). - Parallel output:
In this mode the Controller uses 4 or 5 output pins, depending on the number of buttons, to indicate the binary code of the switch touched. The output is TTL logic.
