Touch Screen Controller
Description
The APT7846 is enhance function of APT7843 added
battery and temperature monitor function and offer
of a bandgap reference voltage for system user. The
APT7846 Touch Screen Controller IC provides all the
screen driver , A/D converter and control circuits to
easily interface to 4 wire resistive touch screen.
The IC continually monitors the screen waiting for a
touch. When the screen touched , the IC performs
A/D converter to determine the location of touch.
Also , this device has 1 auxiliary input to A/D converter , allowing for the measurement of other input
signal.

FIGURE 1. Basic Operation of the APT7846
Chip Overview
The APT7846 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital (A/D) converter based around a capacitive redistribution DAC. Figure 1 show basic operation of the APT7846.
The APT7846 communicates via a 4-wire serial
interface. The device requires an external reference voltage Vref. The value of the reference voltage directly sets the input range of the converter.
Otherwise you can use internal reference Voltage to
do conversion.
The APT7846 primary function is to control resistive
touchscreens. When a touch is detected , pen interrupt pin will go low to wake up extenal microprocessor . The microprocessor writes register to initiate
Analog Input
The analog input to the converter is provided via a
four-channel multiplexer. Figure 2 shows a simplified diagram of the APT7846 with the difference input of the A/D converter , and the converters
reference. Table I and Table II also show the relationship between the A2 , A1 , A0 , SER/ and the
configuration of the APT7846. See the section of
single-ended reference mode and differential reference mode for more details.

conversion.
This A/D converter may also be used to measure
voltage presented on the IN Pin or to measure battery presented on the V

Pin.
