Figure 34. Touch Screen
The touch screen interface consists of a digital state machine, a voltage reference, and an analog switch matrix
which is connected to the four wire resistive touch screen inputs (TSX1, TSX2, TSY1, TSY2) and an internal 10-
Bit ADC. The state machine controls the sequencing of the switch matrix to cycle through the three types of
measurement modes (position, pressure, plate resistance) and the low power standby mode. The separate
internal voltage reference (TSREF) is disabled in standby and off modes. The voltage is generated by an internal
LDO. Its voltage is bypassed by a capacitor connected to pin INT_LDO. The state of the touch screen is
controlled by the TSC_M[2,0] Bits of the TSCMODE register (08h) as shown in Table 2. The touch screen
controller uses transfer gates to the internal ADC on input channels AD_IN14 and AD_IN15.

If the Touch screen multiplexer is set to disabled mode [111], touch to the screen will not be detected. Standby
mode is entered by setting TSC_M[2:0] to 101. When there is a touch, the controller will detect a change in
voltage at the TSX1 point and after a 8ms deglitch the INT pin will be asserted if the interrupt is unmasked in
register INT. Once the host detects the interrupt signal, will enable the ADC converter and set the TSC_M<2:0>
via the I
2
C bus to select any of five measurements (position, pressure, plate) as shown in Table 3.
