Holtek HT32 MCU Touch Key Library
Introduction
The HT32 touch key library developed by Best Solution is a library that integrates into the MCU all of the touch key underlying driver library files. The library has pre-configured the touch-related MCU hardware, and provides intuitive and flexible touch key sensitivity settings, while integrating common functions such as key detection and power-saving sleep modes. Using the HT32 touch key library simplifies the use of the MCU touch functions, allowing users to get started quickly and reducing the development period. This document will describe in detail the environmental configuration and library usage.
Environmental Configuration
Obtain HT32 Touch Key Library
Contact Best Solution’s FAE or refer to its website:
http://www.bestsolution.com.tw/EN/
Or download the library from the Holtek website: https://www.holtek.com
Obtain HT32 Firmware Library
Refer to the following link to quickly obtain the firmware library:
https://www.holtek.com/productdetail/-/vg/HT32F54231_41_43_53
Open the link, select the Documents option as shown in Figure 1, where the red
box indicates the location of the HT32 compressed files. Note that only the
firmware library of version v022 or above supports the HT32 touch key library
.
Keil Project Configuration
- The user’s PC needs to have the Keil development tool installed.
- Unzip the firmware library. The files are listed as shown in Figure 2. Click on Holtek.HT32_DFP.latest to install it, after which the installation completion screen, as shown in Figure 3, will appear.
- Unzip the HT32 touch key library which includes two folders, example and library.
- Copy the example and library folders to the HT32_STD_xxxxx_FWLib_v022_XXXX folder.
- Execute ..\example\TouchKey\TouchKey_LIB\_CreateProject.bat (Figure 6).
- An interface, as shown in Figure 7, will appear. Input the number corresponding to the user’s IDE, after which a “*” sign will appear before the selected IDE, as shown in Figure 8. Input “N” to go to next step.
- As shown below, input “*” to create projects for all IC types or input the IC name to create a project for the selected IC.
- After finishing steps 1~7, as shown in Figure 11, select the desired IC project such as Project_54xxx.uvprojx from the ..\example\TouchKey\TouchKey_LIB\MDK_ARMv5\ path.
Note that only the MCU with the largest resources in each series is used to create the project. For example, to use the HT32F54231 users must select the HT32F54241 project.
Considerations
As the touch key program may enter the sleep state, it is required to set the
project to power on reset, otherwise it will not be available for programming.
The setting steps are as follows.
- Step 1: Click the button in the Keil5 tool menu, as shown below.
- Step 2: Select Debug–> Settings.
- Step 3: Select “under Reset” in the Connect field.
Library Files Description
Library Used Resources
Keil Project| Usable IC| ROM/RAM Resources| Used IP|
Max. Number of Keys
---|---|---|---|---
HT32F54241| HT32F54241 HT32F54231| 7148B / 2256B| Touch key
BFTM0 RTC
| 24
HT32F54253| HT32F54243 HT32F54253| **** 7140B / 2528B| Touch key BFTM0
RTC
| **** 28
- The RTC is used to wake up MCU from the sleep state and used as time base for sleep state processing.
- When the program is loaded into the IC, the Keil will determine whether the ROM or RAM size has been exceeded.
- For the specific use of resources, refer to the actual library version.
