channel selection when there are less ITO Rx channels on the sensor than Rx channels on the chip.


Sample Layout: the ITO Rx channels on the sensor are connected to the Rx channels on the chip in
sequence from SENS0 to SENS19:



5.2 Layout of Tx Channels


DRV0 to DRV31 are 32 Tx channels on the chip directly connected to 32 ITO Tx channels on the
sensor. Please refer to GT9 Series Channel Selector for channel selection and assignment.

After the layout of the Tx channels is determined, relevant registers of GT9271 shall be configured to

ensure logic positions of Tx channels are consistent with their physical positions, so that the reported
coordinates match the physical coordinates.

For details of sensor design, please refer to layout guidelines.

To ensure data consistency and uniformity on the entire screen, it is necessary to ensure the sensor
design complies with the above requirements. For detailed requirements, please refer to Sensor
Design Guidelines of Goodix.

In addition, when Tx channel/trace and Rx channel/trace are adjacent and parallel to each other,

separate the traces with a ground trace. For ground trace width, please refer to Sensor Design
Guidelines. Note that ground trace width should not be less than 0.2mm.

5.4 Touch Key Design

GT9271 supports at most 4 separated touch keys in the following two ways:

1) Touch key design on sensor: Take one Tx channel as a common port for the touch keys and
connect the Tx channel to four Rx channels to enable 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 enable

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.

6.I2C Communication

6.1 I2C Timing

GT9271 provides a standard I2C interface for SCL and SDA to communicate with the host.
GT9271 always serves as slave device in the system with all communication being initialized by
the host. It is strongly recommended that transmission rate be kept at or below 400Kbps. The I2C


timing is shown below:


Test condition 1: 1.8V host interface voltage, 400Kbps transmission rate, 2K pull-up resistor

Parameter Symbol Min. Max. Unit



SCL low period tlo 1.3 - us
SCL high period thi 0.6 - us
SCL setup time for Start condition tst1 0.6 - us
SCL setup time for Stop condition tst3 0.6 - us
SCL hold time for Start condition thd1 0.6 - us
SDA setup time tst2 0.1 - us

SDA hold time thd2 0 - us

Test condition 2: 3.3V host interface voltage, 400Kbps transmission rate, 2K pull-up resistor

Parameter Symbol Min. Max. Unit


SCL low period tlo 1.3 - us
SCL high period thi 0.6 - us

SCL setup time for Start condition tst1 0.6 - us


SCL setup time for Stop condition tst3 0.6 - us
SCL hold time for Start condition thd1 0.6 - us
SDA setup time tst2 0.1 - us
SDA hold time thd2 0 - Us

GT9271 supports two I2C slave addresses: 0xBA/0xBB and 0x28/0x29. The host can select the
address by changing the status of Reset and INT pins during the power-on initialization phase. See
the diagram below for detailed timings:

10-Point Capacitive Touch Controller for MID: GT9271


a) Data Transmission

(For example:slave address is 0xBA/0xBB)

Communication is always initiated by the host. Valid Start condition is signaled by pulling SDA line
from high to low when SCL line is high. Data flow or address is transmitted after the Start condition.


All slave devices connected to I2C bus should detect the 8-bit address issued after Start condition and
send the correct ACK. After receiving matching address, GT9271 acknowledges by configuring SDA
line as output port and pulling SDA line low during the ninth SCL cycle. When receiving unmatched
address, namely, not 0XBA or 0XBB, GT9271 will stay in an idle state.

For data bytes on SDA, each of 9 serial bits will be sent on nine SCL cycles. Each data byte consists
of 8 valid data bits and one ACK or NACK bit sent by the recipient. The data transmission is valid

when SCL line is high.

When communication is completed, the host will issue the Stop condition which implies the transition
of SDA line from low to high when SCL line is high.

b) Writing Data to GT9271


(For example:slave address is 0xBA/0xBB)

Timing for Write Operation

The diagram above displays the timing sequence of the host writing data onto GT9271. First, the host

issues a Start condition. Then, the host sends 0XBA (address bits and R/W bit; R/W bit as 0 indicates
Write operation) to the slave device.

After receiving ACK, the host sends the 16-bit register address (where writing starts) and the 8-bit
data bytes (to be written onto the register).

The location of the register address pointer will automatically add 1 after every Write Operation.
Therefore, when the host needs to perform Write Operations on a group of registers of continuous
addresses, it is able to write continuously. The Write Operation is terminated when the host issues the
Stop condition.

c) Reading Data from GT9271


(For example:slave address is 0xBA/0xBB)


Timing for Read Operation

The diagram above is the timing sequence of the host reading data from GT9271. First, the host
issues a Start condition and sends 0XBA (address bits and R/W bit; R/W bit as 0 indicates Write
operation) to the slave device.

After receiving ACK, the host sends the 16-bit register address (where reading starts) to the slave


device. Then the host sets register addresses which need to be read.

Also after receiving ACK, the host issues the Start condition once again and sends 0XBB (Read
Operation). After receiving ACK, the host starts to read data.

GT9271 also supports continuous Read Operation and, by default, reads data continuously.
Whenever receiving a byte of data, the host sends an ACK signal indicating successful reception.

After receiving the last byte of data, the host sends a NACK signal followed by a STOP condition
which terminates communication.

10-Point Capacitive Touch Controller for MID: GT9271

7.HotKnot
7.1 Start HotKnot
When data needs to be sent, the host sends command 0x21 to GT9271, enabling GT9271 to enter
" Master Approach mode" and work as a transmitting terminal. GT9271 will then be able to detect the
receiving terminal communicating with it. When GT9271 succeeds in detecting the receiving terminal,


it will notify the the host to shut off LCD using an interrupt signal and then transmit data to the
receiveing terminal.

7.2 Data Transmission between TPs


After GT9271 and another Hotknot terminal successfully detect one another, the host sends the


HotKnot transmission firmware to both terminals. While the transmission firmware runs, the two
terminals are ready for data transmission, entering Receive mode by default. When the GT9271
Transmit Buffer is flushed correctly, GT9271 works as the transmitting terminal and immediately
transmits data to the other HotKnot terminal, which works as a receiving terminal detecting data sent
by GT9271.

7.3 Host Receives Data from GT9271



Following recieval or transmission of a data frame, GT9271 inverts INT to notify the host to process
data.

After receiving a data frame, the the host reads the value of the HotKnot-featured status register. If
the value of the receive-status register indicates a successful reception, the host will read the data

from the Receive Buffer via 12C. After reading the recieved data, the host writes 0xAA to the
designated address and notifies GT9271 that data reading is complete.

After GT9271 transmits a data frame, the host reads the value of the HotKnot-featured status register.
If the value of the transmit-status register indicates a successful transmission, the host will read the
data from the Transmit Buffer via 12C. After reading this data, the host writes 0xAA to the designated
address and notifies GT9271 that data reading is complete. GT9271 will automatically switch to

Receive mode and will not start transmitting until Transmit Buffer is flushed again.

8.Description on Functions

8.1 Operating Modes




a) Normal Mode

When GT9271 is operating in Normal mode, its coordinate refresh period is subject to configuration
(5ms to 20ms valid, one step is 1ms).

When no touch is detected for a certain period (0s to 15s, subject to configuration; one step is 1s) in
Normal mode, GT9271 will automatically switch to Green mode to reduce power consumption.

b) Green Mode

In Green mode, the scan period for GT9271 is about 40ms. It automatically enters Normal mode if
any touch is detected.

14
10-Point Capacitive Touch Controller for MID: GT9271

c) Gesture Mode

After the host enables GT9271 to enter Gesture mode by sending I2C command 8 to 0x8046 and then
to 0x8040. Wake-up can be achieved by swipe, double-tap, or writing of specified lower-case letters
on Touch Panel (TP).

In Gesture mode, when GT9271 detects any finger swipe for a sufficiently long distance, double-tap
or writing of specified letters on TP, INT will output a pulse for longer than 250us or output a high level.
The host will wake up and turn on the screen after receiving such pulse and high level.


d) Sleep Mode

GT9271 enters Sleep mode if it receives the corresponding I2C command from the host (require INT
output low before the command). GT9271 exits Sleep mode and enters Normal mode when host
outputs a high level to INT pin for 2ms to 5ms. The interval between sending screen-off command
and wake-up should be longer than 58ms.



e) Approach Mode

When HotKnot proximity detection is enabled, GT9271 enters Approach mode by default. If GT9271
exits Approach mode, the host can send command 0x20 or 0x21 to enable GT9271 to enter Approach
mode again. In this mode, touch detection and HotKnot proximity detection alternate. If the host
sends 0x21 to GT9271, GT9271 will work as a transmitting terminal and transmit signals with a
specified pattern and frequency via Tx and Rx channels. Then, GT9271 detects whether there are

feedback signals with the same specified pattern and frequency from the receiving terminal. This
helps to determine whether any receiving terminal exists. If the host sends 0x20 to GT9271, GT9271
will work as a Receiving terminal and detect signals with a specified pattern and frequency from the
transmitting terminal. If such a signal is detected, GT9271 responds using signals with the specified
pattern and frequency to the transmitting terminal. In Approach mode, when detecting any HotKnot-
compatible terminal within the near-field range, GT9271 will notify the host via INT to capture status.
To ensure reliable detection between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, it is
required to keep detecting for a minimum of 150ms after the two terminals have detected each other.
Then the host sends HotKnot transmission firmware to enable GT9271 to enter Receive mode.

15
10-Point Capacitive Touch Controller for MID: GT9271

f) Receive Mode

In Approach mode, after notified that GT9271 has successfully detected another HotKnot terminal,
the host sends HotKnot transmission firmware to enable GT9271 to enter Receive mode. In Receive
mode, GT9271 continues to detect frame start signal, once the signal is detected, GT9271 begins to
detect and receive data. When the receiving process is complete, GT9271 verifies the data. If
GT9271 finds erroneous data, the receiving process begins again. If the data is found to be correct,
GT9271 notifies the host via INT to read data in the Receive Buffer.


g) Send Mode

When GT9271 works in Receive mode, the host sends outgoing data to the Transmit Buffer. When
detecting that the Transmit Buffer is flushed and there is data to be sent, GT9271 automatically
switches from Receive mode to Send mode. In Send mode, GT9271 sends a frame start signal. If it
detects ACK fed back from the receiving terminal, it continues to send the data signal. After sending a
data chunk, GT9271 begins to detect ACK. If it does not detect any ACK or if it detects an erroneous


ACK, GT9271 will resend the data chunk. If this resending fails over 5 times, it will resend the current
data frame another time to the receiving terminal until the host enables GT9271 to exit Send mode
due to timeout. If GT9271 detects ACK and sends the data successfully, it will automatically switch to
Receive mode after the host completes the data processing or due to timeout.

8.2 Interrupt Triggering Mechanism



When touched, GT9271 sends a pulse via INT pin in every scanning cycle to notify the host to read
coordinates. Host will then set a triggering mechanism via relevant register “INT” bit. INT as “0” indicates
rising edge-triggered, which means GT9271 will notify the host by driving INT output from low to high when
operated by user; INT as “1” indicates falling edge-triggered, which means GT9271 will notify the host by
driving INT output from high to low when operated by user .

8.3 Sleep Mode

When the touch screen is off or there are no running operations on the TP, the host sends I2C
command to enable GT9271 to enter Sleep mode, which reduces power consumption. When
GT9271 needs to operate, the host outputs a high level to INT pin for a certain period to awake it. For

detailed timings of host enabling GT9271 to enter and exit Sleep mode, please refer to section 8.1.

8.4 Stationary Configuration

GT9271 supports Stationary Configuration. After receiving configuration parameters from the host,
GT9271 will fix parameters to the latest version. Once these parameters are fixed, GT9271 will
communicate with the host solely via I2C bus and will not receive any parameters of previous
versions from the host.

10-Point Capacitive Touch Controller for MID: GT9271

8.5 Self-calibration

a) Self-calibration during Initialization

Fluctuations in temperature, humidity and environment may affect the baseline of the capacitive
sensor in idle state. GT9271 will update detection baseline according to environmental conditions
within the first 200 ms of initialization. Then, GT9271 will complete the initialization of the TP test.

b) Automatic Drift Compensation


Gradual changes in environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, or dust may also affect the
baseline of the capacitive sensor in idle state. GT9271 will detect real-time changes in data and
perform statistic analysis of historic data to revise the baseline and thus reduce the impact that
environmental changes have on the TP test.
