TSC2005
SBAS379C – DECEMBER 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2008
Figure 24 shows the analog inputs of the TSC2005. The analog inputs (X, Y, and Z touch panel coordinates, chip
temperature and auxiliary inputs) are provided via a multiplexer to the Successive Approximation Register (SAR)
Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter. The A/D architecture is based on capacitive redistribution architecture, which
inherently includes a sample-and-hold function.
Figure 24. Simplified Diagram of the Analog Input Section
A unique configuration of low on-resistance switches allows an unselected A/D converter input channel to
provide power and an accompanying pin to provide ground for driving the touch panel. By maintaining a
differential input to the converter and a differential reference input architecture, it is possible to negate errors
caused by the driver switch on-resistances.
The A/D converter is controlled by two A/D Converter Control registers. Several modes of operation are possible,
depending on the bits set in the control registers. Channel selection, scan operation, preprocessing, resolution,
and conversion rate may all be programmed through these registers. These modes are outlined in the sections
that follow for each type of analog input. The conversion results are stored in the appropriate result register.
