DESCRIPTION FEATURES
• Handhelds/Notebooks
• Portable Devices
• Interactive Kiosks
• Industrial/Custom Touch Screens
The ScreenCoderTMUSB IC is the
first single IC that seamlessly
interfaces ANY 4- or 8-wire
resistive touch screen to a USBequipped system. It is also the
first touch screen controller IC on
the market designed to
accommodate a very wide range of
size, capacitance and resistance of
4- or 8-wire touch screens,
providing a universal performance
solution among different OEM
products and touch screen
vendors. This unique feature of the
IC provides OEMs with a wide
variety of interchangeable touch
screen options.
Unlike digitizers, the
ScreenCoderTMUSB integrates a
digitizer with a controller that
performs all touch detection, noise
filtering, error elimination and
provides the host with processed
and stable positioning data over
USB. Semtech’s unique motion
algorithms provide high resistance
to RF and other noise sources
resulting in precise, non-jittery
cursor control.
Ideal application for the
ScreenCoderTMUSB include
portable devices, interactive kiosks
and industrial / custom displays
with integrated touch screens.
The universal features of the
ScreenCoderTMUSB, as
implemented in both the system
and the sensor interface, reduce
the development effort and cost of
touch input based systems. The
ScreenCoderTMUSB is available in
a slim, 36-pin SSOP package.
