1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The QM98000 digital sensor is the world’s most sensitive sensor, a 10x improvement over our previous generation digital sensors. Force is easily detected through thicker and stiffer materials. The digital output allows a direct connection to a host processor via an industry standard I²C interface.
THR_ADR See sections 9.3 and 9.5 respectively for setting device address and threshold. INTB Interrupt Output. This pin allows the QM98000 to wake-up the host. Serial Clock Input. Serial I C clock input connecting the master clock. Serial Data I/O. Serial I C data pin allowing communications to/from the master.
8.1 TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT Figure 2 shows a typical circuit for a button application utilizing the QM98000. The sensor generates an interrupt when the programmed threshold is exceeded. The host processor can change the threshold by writing to the sensor registers using the I C interface.
8.2 POWER-UP SEQUENCE The QM98000 will be fully operational 10 ms after power is initially applied to the chip. After power-up, it enters active mode by default, see Figure 3. VDD needs to meet 90% of nominal value within 2 ms after power up for correct operation.
The device is soldered onto a PCB, which is then bonded to the back of the surface where the force is to be detected. The QM98000 digital sensor can detect forces as light as a few grams. Figure 4 shows the stack-up for a single button application utilizing one sensor mounted to a PCB.

11.1 FOOTPRINT AND SMT DETAILS Figure 6: Must-Have Footprint Figure 6 depicts the must-have footprint drawing for the QM98000 and the details below must be followed for the SMT of the sensor onto a PCB/FPCB 1. Pad dimensions and type Rounded rectangle with dimensions 7.874 mil x 7.874 mil (0.2 mm x 0.2 mm)
The tip should account for the tolerance of the pick accuracy, so that it’s not possible for the nozzle tip to contact the edge or the corner of a part. The tip size should be as large as possible, while satisfying the above 2 points. QM98000 PRODUCT BRIEF Rev C 10 | P a g e...
2 N (200 gram). Placement forces should be measured periodically using a calibrated load, to ensure parts aren’t placed with a force over this specification. QM98000 PRODUCT BRIEF Rev C 11 | P a g e...
11.4 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The QM98000 can be reflow-soldered using direct-chip-attachment (DCA) techniques to the circuit substrate (e.g. FR-4 or FPC). The chip should be soldered at normal reflow (Table 4) temperatures designed to support RoHS and Pb-free compliance (Figure 8). Reflow assembly houses should follow this profile closely but can chose more conservative ramp-up/down rates.
