5.7 Noise
Noise is a key point for touch sensing applications. Noise can come from Power supply.
5.7.1 Power supply
Main rules to follow:
• Place Buzzer and LED before LDO.
• Place LDO close to MCU.

5.7.2 False detection
To avoid false detection TSL embed ECS, DXS and DTO algorithms.
Table 15. False detection documentation gives a list of documents containing information about the false
detection.
