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.
