CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A TTP223 capacitive touch sensor IC detects finger contact and drives an NPN transistor to switch an LED night lamp, powered by a 3V battery.
Key decisions
- Use a 2N2222 NPN transistor because the TTP223 output cannot directly handle the LED current.
- Add a 100nF decoupling capacitor across the IC supply to keep touch sensing stable.
- Model the touch pad as a 10pF capacitor to ground so the net is not left open.
When to reuse this
Reuse for any battery-powered capacitive touch lamp or low-power touch-controlled load.
