1. Getting Started
Hardware
To set up the hardware for the CPT007B SLEXP8007A kit:
1. Provide power to the board by connecting the DBG USB connector to the PC using the provided USB cable. When a connection
has been established successfully, the LED (marked in the picture) lights up.
2. Place the acrylic overlay on the board over the capacitive sense pads.
Figure 1.1. Hardware Setup
Software
The first step to get started with your new CPT007B SLEXP8007A kit is to go to
http://www.silabs.com/simplicity
The Simplicity Studio software package contains all the tools, drivers, software examples, and documentation needed to use the
CPT007B Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board. The board comes preconfigured for a Touch Demo for use with the acrylic overlay. The
demo enables the board to recognize touch events and touch release events. Every time a touch is sensed, the paired digital output pin
will go high, the corresponding LED will light up, and the buzzer will sound.
After downloading the latest version of Simplicity Studio and installing the software:
1. The auto-detect feature in Simplicity Studio can cause a CPT device to miss touches. First disable automatic detection by clicking
the [Settings] icon, selecting [Device Manager]>[TCF Device Discovery], and selecting [Never] for [USB Discovery Options].
Click [OK].
2. Click the [Refresh detected hardware] button.
3. Select [CPT007B] under [Detected Hardware]. On the board, a successful USB connection is established when the LED next to
the USB connector turns on.
4. Click the [Capacitive Sense Profiler] tile. This utility graphs touch-related data and events received from the CPT007B
SLEXP8007A for evaluation and analysis.

4. Power and Operation
4.1 Power Selection
The CPT007 Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board is designed to be powered by two different sources:
• Through the on-board USB.
• Through the EXP header.
The figure shows how the different power sources are connected to the device.

Figure 4.1. CPT007B SLEXP8007A Power Supply
When the USB is connected, the board is powered from the LDO internal to the USB device, which is in turn powered by the USB
cable.
The board can also be powered externally through the VMCU and GND pins of the expansion header when the board is attached to a
power supply or an EFM MCU Starter Kit.
When power is provided through the USB or an external power supply, the device can act as a stand alone device. When it is connec-
ted to an EFM MCU Starter Kit through the expansion header, the device acts as a peripheral to the MCU by providing capacitive sense
capabilities.
4.2 Standalone
In standalone mode, the CPT007B SLEXP8007A on the CPT007 Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board is designed to showcase and test
the board's features or act as a breakout board for any application. To operate in this mode, apply power using the USB connector or
an external supply.
The board can operate on its own to demonstrate and test the board's touch features and functionalities. The CPT007B SLEXP8007A
features configurable options such as touch characteristics, output characteristics, and user feedback peripherals. The device's fea-
tures can be configured in Simplicity Studio using [Xpress Configurator], and the capacitive sense data can be viewed in the [Capaci-
tive Sense Profiler].
The device can act as a breakout board to extend functionality of a custom board by simply reading the output results on the pins. The
touch qualification engine on the device will process the touch information and output the results through GPIO. The device outputs can
be accessed through the expansion header, and the capacitive sense inputs can be accessed through the vias on the board.

4.3 Connected to the Expansion Header
The CPT007 Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board is designed to quickly attach to any EFM32 and EFM8 MCU starter kit and jump-start
the development of capacitive sense capable applications. Attach the CPT007 Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board to the STK through
the expansion header to connect the power and communication pins.
To see how the board works in conjunction with the MCU starter kit, go to the starter kit's [Demos] under [Tools] in Simplicity Studio
and run [CPT007B Demo].
For more details on the starter kit, see the corresponding starter kit's user guide.
Note: Not all EFM32 starter kits support this expansion board. See the available demos in Simplicity Studio for more information.

5. Peripherals
The starter kit has a set of peripherals that showcase some of the features of the CPT007B device.
Be aware that some CPT007B I/O routed to peripherals are also routed to the breakout pads. This must be taken into consideration
when using the breakout pads for your application.
5.1 Capacitive Sense Touch Pads
The kit has 7 capacitive sense touch pads. The touch pads are connected in order to pins CS00 - CS06 of the CPT007B SLEXP8007A.
After the touch pad inputs have been processed by the touch qualification engine, the CPT007B SLEXP8007A will output the result
through GPIO.
The capacitive sense inputs can be configured for different thresholds, debounce counter values, scan periods, gain, scanning meth-
ods, touch time-outs, and touch exclusiveness using the [Xpress Configurator] in Simplicity Studio. The device outputs can also be
configured for different pin polarities and drive strength.
See the CPT007B SLEXP8007A Data Sheet for more detailed information on the different configurations.

5.2 LEDs and Buzzer
The device features LEDs and a buzzer to provide feedback to the user when using the device.
There are 7 LEDs located above the capacitive sense touch pads and corresponds 1-to-1 to the touch pads. The LEDs are connected
to the CPT007B on the OUTn pins.
The board's buzzer is located to the bottom left of the board and is connected to the CPT007B on the BUZZER pin.
The LED and BUZZER outputs can be configured to be active or inactive when the touch pads are touched using Configurator.

6. Connectors
6.1 Breakout Pads
The "breakout pads" located on the left of the touch pads are routed to the capacitive sense input traces and power rails.
The capacitive sense input traces can be accessed through the vertically aligned vias located in middle of the board on the left of the
pads. All 7 CPT007B capacitive sensing touch pads are bound to each via.
Furthermore, above the buzzer, there are two breakout pads for VMCU and GND to measure the active current of the board using an
in-circuit ammeter. A 2.54 mm pitch pin header can be soldered in for easy access to these pins.
Note: In order for the capacitive sense pins to be connected properly to your application or power to be measured correctly, the 0 ohm
resistors must be removed. The 0 ohm resistor for a channel can be found next to the corresponding via on the top side of the board.

6.2 Expansion Header
On the left hand side of the board is a female expansion header to connect to a Silicon Labs EFM8 or EFM32 Starter Kit (STK). The
connecter contains a number of output and communication pins that can be used to communicate with the MCU on the STK. The re-
sults from the touch qualification engine are routed out to these pins. Additionally, the VMCU, 3V3, and 5V power rails are also impor-
ted. The figure below shows the pin assignment of the expansion header.
