Figure 24. Typical Circuit Configuration
A resistive touch screen operates by applying a voltage across a resistor network and measuring the change in
resistance at a given point on the matrix where the screen is touched by an input (stylus, pen, or finger). The
change in the resistance ratio marks the location on the touch screen.
The TSC2004 supports the resistive 4-wire configurations, as shown in Figure 25 . The circuit determines location
in two coordinate pair dimensions, although a third dimension can be added for measuring pressure.
A 4-wire touch screen is typically constructed as shown in Figure 25 . It consists of two transparent resistive
layers separated by insulating spacers.
Figure 25. 4-Wire Touch Screen Construction
The 4-wire touch screen panel works by applying a voltage across the vertical or horizontal resistive network.
