3. GT9110 Touch Key Design

Touch IC GT9110 supports a maximum of 4 touch keys in the following two ways:

1) Sensor extension: Take one Tx channel as a common line for the touch keys and connect the Tx channel to four Rx channels to form four touch keys. The touch keys must not share their Tx channel with the touch screen. However, Rx channels have to be shared.

2) Touch key design on FPC: Connect one separate Tx channel to four Rx channels to form

four touch keys. The touch keys have to share their Rx channels with the touch screen.

Touch key pattern on FPC should be designed independently.
