This weekly report summarizes the progress of a student engineering team. The team explored using a touch switch circuit and presenting their design to another team. They researched a new touch IC called the WB2080B to create a more stable switch. The report describes the WB2080B IC, notes its strong points like stability, and weak points like being surface mount. Next steps are to test the circuit once the IC is received.

Weekly Progress
This week our team engineering show
touch switch circuit and RGB to product design
team. I think that it’s not stable so, I was
searching for new technique for make touch
switch circuit. I was found IC WB2080B, it is
touching IC.
The WB2080 is a touch pad detector IC
which offers 8 touch keys. The touching
detection IC is designed for replacing traditional
direct button key with fixed pad size. Low power
consumption and wide operating voltage are the
Figure 1: WB2080B Touching IC Application contact key features for DC or AC application.
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- A WB2080 was used in any product that use interface by touched, so I think it will we stable.
Week Point
- A WB2080 is surface mount. It is hard to make with PCB.
Next Week Job
Next week, we will test circuit with IC WB2080 after I received its.
