LM8300/LM8400/LM8500
Four Wire Resistive Touchscreen Controller with
Brownout
General Description
The LM8300/8400/8500 is a 4-wire resistive touch screen
controller. The controller samples and drives the touch
screen without the need of any external hardware. The built
in 10-bit A/D provides a maximum of 500 coordinate pairs
per second (cpps). The data sampled from the touch screen
is sent out on the UART at a speed of 38400 bps.
The controller has a power-saving mode which causes the
controller to self-power down when no touch is detected on
the touch screen for a specified amount of time. In the

self-power down mode, the current drawn is typically less
than 2 µA. The device resumes normal operation when a
touch is detected on the touch screen or communication is
detected on the UART. In addition to the self-power down
mode, the controller can be disabled by pulling the SHUTDOWN pin low. The controller resumes normal operation
when the SHUTDOWN pin is tristated or pulled high.
The controller has an internal non-volatile memory storage
element to store configuration data such as calibration points
or controller configurations.
