2. Introduction

The Si114x-MFB is intended as an evaluation and development platform for the Si1143 infrared proximity and

ambient light sensor. The board has two sides which are separate systems that only share communications and

debug connections to the PC. The active side is chosen using the hardware switch S1, shown in Figure 1. When

the switch is in the upward position, the Top-Side is the active side while the Bottom-Side is active when S1 is in

the downward position. As shown on the left side of Figure 1, the main components of the top side of the Si114x

multi-function board (Si114x-MFB) are the Si1143 sensor (U4), the C8051F931 microcontroller (U1), and the

infrared emitters (DS2 through DS4). On this PCB, the infrared emitters used are OSRAM part number SFH 4056.

These emitters have a power rating of 40 mW and a half-angle of 22 degrees. As shown on the right side of

Figure 1, the main components of the bottom side of the Si114x-MFB are the Si1143 sensor (U6), the C8051F931

microcontroller (U5), and the infrared emitter DS5. This emitter is OSRAM part number SFH 4650 and has a power

rating of 45 mW and a half-angle of 15 degrees. Other emitters with different characteristics may also be used,

depending on the specific application requirements.

The example firmware for the top-side of the board is a thumb-scroll implementation that measures the infrared

light energy detected by the Si1143 while each of three infrared emitters are independently activated. The infrared

light from these emitters will be reflected back to the Si1143 by a thumb that is swiped in proximity to the sensor.

The firmware is able to detect different gestures using the infrared sensor, as described in Table 3 on page 10. The

nine LEDs DS8-DS16 will change state to indicate what gesture was recognized. The Si1143’s ambient light

sensor (ALS) is also monitored by the firmware. The example firmware is intended to be used in conjunction with

the QuickSenseTM Performance Analysis Tool to provide user feedback.

The example firmware on the bottom-side of the board is a long-range implementation that measures the infrared

light energy detected by the Si1143 while a single infrared emitter is activated. All three of the Si1143’s LED drivers

are connected to the one emitter to allow multiple drivers to activate the emitter at the same time in order to send

more current through the emitter than one driver can provide. Driving more current through the emitters can help

achieve longer ranges of detection because the infrared LEDs emit more light with more current. The default

firmware only uses one driver at the default pulse width to drive the LED. The five LEDs DS17-DS21 will change

state to indicate how much infrared light feedback is being measured. The Si1143’s ambient light sensor (ALS) is

also monitored by the firmware. The example firmware is intended to be used in conjunction with the

QuickSenseTM Performance Analysis Tool to provide user feedback.

3. Software Overview

There are several optional software packages available to support the Si114x Multi-Function Kit. QuickSenseTM

Studio contains the Performance Analysis Tool, which can be used to collect data from the board over the USB

interface and display it graphically. The Silicon Labs Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides a means

of developing code for the C8051F931 and uses the USB DEBUG connection on the board to program the MCU

and perform in-system debugging. For users wishing to modify the example code or download the latest version of

firmware into the board, the Si114x Multi-Function Kit installation package contains board-specific materials, such

as the latest version of the pre-built firmware .HEX image and the firmware example source code. All of the

supporting software can be downloaded from the web at the URL http://www.silabs.com/quicksense.

3.1. QuickSense Studio

The QuickSense Studio software facilitates rapid code development and analysis for applications using the Silicon

Labs family of QuickSense products. QuickSense Studio is comprised of multiple programs that guide users

through an intuitive development flow, including graphical configuration wizards, firmware templates, and

performance monitoring tools. These programs interface with the QuickSense Firmware API, a highly-configurable

open-source firmware library that provides support for many different applications, from simple buttons to complex

algorithms like gesture recognition. The main component of QuickSense Studio that is used by the Si114x Multi-

Function Kit is the Performance Analysis Tool, which is described in more detail in “4. Using the Si114x-MFB with

the Performance Analysis Tool” .

4. Using the Si114x-MFB with the Performance Analysis Tool

The Si114x Multi-Function Board is supported by the QuickSense Performance Analysis Tool. The Performance

Analysis Tool allows users to see real-time infrared proximity and ambient light measurements from the Si1143 in a

graphical form. The communications interface to the Si114x Multi-Function Board is provided over the USB

connection via the QuickSense Firmware API. For a more detailed description of the QuickSense Firmware API or

the Serial Interface, see “AN366: QuickSense™ Firmware API.”

To use the Performance Analysis Tool with the Si114x Multi-Function Board:

1. Connect the Si114x Multi-Function Board to the PC using a cable plugged into the COMM USB port.

2. Launch the Performance Analysis Tool from QuickSense Studio or from the Start menu.

3. Select the board from the “Devices” menu (typically either COM3 or COM4 depending on your system).

4. Select the channels you wish to display on the picture of the slider board that appears. The individual channels

available are described in “4.1. Channel Selection” .

5. Click the green “Acquisition” arrow to begin collecting data

Figure 3 shows an example of the Performance Analysis Tool output when connected to the Si114x Multi-Function

Board. To generate the graph, a thumb was moved above the thumb-scroll side of the board. The selected traces

shown are the raw data measurements for the amount of Infrared light being reflected onto the part. The pink trace

represents the proximity measurements from infrared emitter DS3; the green trace represents the measurements

from infrared emitter DS4, and the yellow trace represents the measurements from infrared emitter DS2.

4.1. Channel Selection

Selecting which channels to display is done by checking the appropriate boxes on the Board Representation

window, shown in Figure 4, and the Generic Data window, shown in Figure 5. There are two different groups of

measurements available from the example firmware: raw data channels and generic data channels.

4.1.1. Raw Data Channels

The raw data measurements can be seen by selecting the channels from the Board Representation window, shown

in Figure 4. The two types of raw data measurements are ambient light and infrared proximity.

1. Raw ambient light measurements. The ambient light channels are Channel 0 (red) and Channel 1(blue).

Channel 0 displays measurements of the ambient visible light while Channel 1 displays measurements of the

ambient infrared light.

2. Raw infrared proximity measurements. The infrared proximity channels are Channel 2 (pink) readings using

DS3, Channel 3 (green) readings using DS4, and Channel 4 (yellow) readings using DS2. Channels 3 and 4 will

not be available for the Bottom-Side since it is a single LED implementation. The output is proportional to the

amount of infrared light being reflected onto the part by an object above the board. These outputs are 16-bit

unsigned values.

4.1.2. Generic Data Channels

The generic data channels contain any data generated by the host MCU. These 16-bit channels can be anything

from simple debug channels to calculated position values. See Table 1 or Table 2 for an explanation of all the

channels shown in Figure 5.

AutoRanging Ambient Outputs

AutoRanging will automatically change the modes of the

photodiodes to avoid saturation. When changing modes,

the raw data output changes levels, but AutoRanging will

scale the raw data so that all measurements are on the

same scale. The output from this channel is the pro-

cessed value which can be used without knowledge of

the photodiode modes.

G10 IR

G11 PS1

AutoRanging PS Outputs

These channels are the AutoRanging PS output from

the device. Raw data measurements are processed by

the AutoRanging firmware to make all the readings

across different modes have the same magnitude. Since

the device switches modes to compensate for ambient

light, the raw data will show jumps when changing

modes. These outputs will not display the jumps

because the firmware is stitching the raw outputs

together.

G12 PS2

G13 PS3

G14 VIS s State of Ambient Visible System These channels help indicate what mode the sensor is in

during each of their respective measurements. The four

possible modes are as follows: Low Light, High Sensitiv-

ity, High Signal, and Sunlight. These modes are num-

bered from zero to three. For more information about

each mode, please consult the data sheet.

AutoRanginguses baselining to determinethe no-detect

threshold for readings. Any readings below the values

shown on these channels will be considered no-detect

readings. Any values higher than this baseline will be

shown in the AutoRanging PS Outputs above. For this

Ranging application, this baseline algorithm is bypassed

to allow for the main Ranging algorithm to perform its

own form of baselining.

G10 BLVal Baseline Value

The Bottom-Side Ranging algorithm has its own baselin-

ing algorithm that baselines on the Avg (G0) channel.

This channel is the current value that the baseline is set

to.

G11 BLcnt Baseline Counter The baselining algorithm picks a rolling maximum value

from Avg (G0) and tests to see if that value can be used

as the new baseline. This is the Baseline Test Value. If

the Avg does not stray too far away from the BLtst value

for 40 samples in a row, this BLtst value will become the

new Baseline Value. The sample counter is on G11 as

the Baseline Counter value.

4.2. Gesture Sensing

In addition to infrared and ambient light measurements, the example firmware for the top side contains algorithms

for gesture recognition. When connected to the board with the Performance Analysis Tool, a group window will

appear, as shown in Figure 6. When a gesture is recognized by firmware, the gesture name and parameter

information will be added to the top of the 3D Gesture group. Five gestures are supported by the example code.

The parameters for each gesture are listed in Table 3.

To use the thumb-scroll gestures with high accuracy, the user must be sure to swipe the thumb by starting outside

of the orange box on the overlay and swiping across the box and exiting the orange box on the opposite side. The

thumb should be lain flat such that the thumb creates the most surface area on the glass. For a Tap gesture, the

thumb should enter and exit as straight as possible along the axis which is normal to the surface of the overlay. If a

Tap is attempted and the thumb exits at an off-angle, the Tap might be identified as a swipe.

The speed of the swipe can be determined by the Duration value in the Group Window below. The user should be

weary that very fast swipes have a higher chance of being recognized incorrectly, and very slow swipes might not

be recognized as a gesture because the firmware caps the duration at 255 counts. Each count represents 1.6 ms.

orange square on the overlay.

Swipe Right Duration 1 255 (Fast to Slow) Move thumb from the left edge to the right edge of the

orange square on the overlay.

Swipe Up Duration 1 255 (Fast to Slow) Move thumb from the bottom edge to the top edge of

the orange square on the overlay.

Swipe Down Duration 1 255 (Fast to Slow) Move thumb from the top edge to the bottom edge of

the orange square on the overlay.

Tap Duration 1 255 (Fast to Slow) Move thumb from high above the overlay onto the

center of the orange square and retract.
