About this manual

The BU21008MUV is a capacitive sensor control IC featuring 16 sensor channels, an integrated 10‑bit A/D converter, LED driver with PWM, and gesture detection for short touch, long touch and finger motion. It operates from a 2.5 V to 3.3 V analog supply and 1.7 V to 3.3 V I/O supply, and is supplied in a VQFN32 package.

The device communicates via a 2‑wire serial interface (compatible with I²C) and includes a host interface, power‑management block, clock generation, and programmable registers for sensor data, button states, gesture parameters, and LED control.
