The STMPE610 is a GPIO (general purpose
input/output) port expander able to interface a
main digital ASIC via the two-line bidirectional bus
2
(I
C). A separate GPIO expander is often used in
mobile multimedia platforms to solve the
problems of the limited amount of GPIOs typically
available on the digital engine.

The STMPE610 offers great flexibility, as each I/O
can be configured as input, output or specific
functions. The device has been designed with
very low quiescent current and includes a wakeup
feature for each I/O, to optimize the power
consumption of the device.
A 4-wire touchscreen controller is built into the
STMPE610. The touchscreen controller is
enhanced with a movement tracking algorithm to
avoid excessive data, 128 x 32 bit buffer and a
programmable active window feature.

Start condition
A Start condition is identified by a falling edge of SDATA while SCLK is stable at high state.
A Start condition must precede any data/command transfer. The device continuously
monitors for a Start condition and does not respond to any transaction unless one is
encountered.
Stop condition
A Stop condition is identified by a rising edge of SDATA while SCLK is stable at high state. A
Stop condition terminates communication between the slave device and the bus master. A
read command that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop condition to force the
slave device into idle mode. When the slave device is in idle mode, it is ready to receive the
2
next I
C transaction. A Stop condition at the end of a write command stops the write
operation to registers.
Acknowledge bit
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter
releases the SDATA after sending eight bits of data. During the ninth bit, the receiver pulls
Doc ID 15432 Rev 49/56
I2C interfaceSTMPE610
the SDATA low to acknowledge the receipt of the eight bits of data. The receiver may leave
the SDATA in high state if it does not acknowledge the receipt of the data.
4.2 Data input
The device samples the data input on SDATA on the rising edge of the SCLK. The SDATA
signal must be stable during the rising edge of SCLK and the SDATA signal must change
only when SCLK is driven low.

A write is first performed to load the register address into the Address Counter but without
sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus master sends a reStart condition and repeats the
Device Address with the R/W bit set to 1. The slave device acknowledges and outputs the
content of the addressed byte. If no additional data is to be read, the bus master must not
acknowledge the byte and terminates the transfer with a Stop condition.
If the bus master acknowledges the data byte, then it can continue to perform the data
reading. To terminate the stream of data bytes, the bus master must not acknowledge the
last output byte, and be followed by a Stop condition. If the address of the register written
into the Address Counter falls within the range of addresses that has the auto-increment
function, the data being read will be coming from consecutive addresses, which the internal
Address Counter automatically increments after each byte output. After the last memory
address, the Address Counter 'rolls-over' and the device continues to output data from the
memory address of 0x00. Similarly, for the register address that falls within a non-increment
range of addresses, the output data byte comes from the same address (which is the
address referred by the Address Counter).
Acknowledgement in read operation
For the above read command, the slave device waits, after each byte read, for an
acknowledgement during the ninth bit time. If the bus master does not drive the SDA to a
low state, then the slave device terminates and switches back to its idle mode, waiting for
the next command.
Doc ID 15432 Rev 411/56
I2C interfaceSTMPE610
4.4 Write operations
A write is first performed to load the register address into the Address Counter without
sending a Stop condition. After the bus master receives an acknowledgement from the slave
device, it may start to send a data byte to the register (referred by the Address Counter).
The slave device again acknowledges and the bus master terminates the transfer with a
Stop condition.
If the bus master needs to write more data, it can continue the write operation without
issuing the Stop condition. Whether the Address Counter autoincrements or not after each
data byte write depends on the address of the register written into the Address Counter.
After the bus master writes the last data byte and the slave device acknowledges the receipt
of the last data, the bus master may terminate the write operation by sending a Stop
condition. When the Address Counter reaches the last memory address, it 'rolls-over' to the
next data byte write.
12/56Doc ID 15432 Rev 4
STMPE610SPI interface
5 SPI interface
The SPI interface in STMPE610 uses a 4-wire communication connection (DATA IN, DATA
OUT, CLK, CS). In the diagram, “Data in” is referred to as MOSI (master out slave in) and
“DATA out” is referred to as MISO (master in slave out).
5.1 SPI protocol definition
The SPI (serial peripheral interface) follows a byte sized transfer protocol. All transfers begin
with an assertion of CS_n signal (falling edge). The protocol for reading and writing is
different and the selection between a read and a write cycle is dependent on the first
captured bit on the slave device. A '1' denotes a read operation and a '0' denotes a write
operation. The SPI protocol defined in this section is shown in Figure 3.
The following are the main features supported by this SPI implementation.
●Support of 1 MHz maximum clock frequency.
●Support for autoincrement of address for both read and write.
●Full duplex support for read operation.
●Daisy chain configuration support for write operation.
●Robust implementation that can filter glitches of up to 50 ns on the CS_n and SCL pins.
●Support for all 4 modes of SPI as defined by the CPHA, CPOL bits on SPICON.
5.1.1 Register read
The following steps need to be followed for register read through SPI.
1. Assert CS_n by driving a '0' on this pin.
2. Drive a '1' on the first SCL launch clock on MOSI to select a read operation.
3. The next 7 bits on MOSI denote the 7-bit register address (MSB first).
4. The next address byte can now be transmitted on the MOSI. If the autoincrement bit is
set, the following address transmitted on the MOSI is ignored. Internally, the address is
incremented. If the autoincrement bit is not set, then the following byte denotes the
address of the register to be read next.
5. Read data is transmitted by the slave device on the MISO (MSB first), starting from the
launch clock following the last address bit on the MOSI.
6. Full duplex read operation is achieved by transmitting the next address on MOSI while
the data from the previous address is available on MISO.
7. To end the read operation, a dummy address of all 0's is sent on MOSI.
Doc ID 15432 Rev 413/56
SPI interfaceSTMPE610
5.1.2 Register write
The following steps need to be followed for register write through SPI.
1. Assert CS_n by driving a '0' on this pin.
2. Drive a '0' on the first SCL launch clock on MOSI to select a write operation.
3. The next 7 bits on MOSI denote the 7-bit register address (MSB first).
4. The next byte on the MOSI denotes data to be written.
5. The following transmissions on MOSI are considered byte-sized data. The register
address to which the following data is written depends on whether the autoincrement
bit in the SPICON register is set. If this bit has been set previously, the register address
is incremented for data writes.
5.1.3 Termination of data transfer
A transfer can be terminated before the last launch edge by deasserting the CS_n signal. If
the last launch clock is detected, it is assumed that the data transfer is successful.
5.2 SPI timing modes
The SPI timing modes are defined by CPHA and CPOL,CPHA and CPOL are read from the
"SDAT" and "A0" pins during power-up reset. The following four modes are defined
according to this setting.
Table 9.SPI timing modes
CPOL_N (SDAT pin)CPOLCPHA (ADDR pin)Mode
1000
1011
0102
0113
The clocking diagrams of these modes are shown in ON reset. The device always operates
in mode 0. Once the bits are set in the SPICON register, the mode change takes effect on
the next transaction defined by the CS_n pin being deasserted and asserted.

can be used as a generic analog-to-digital converter, or as a touchscreen controller capable
of controlling a 4-wire resistive touchscreen.
Write '1' to initiate data acquisition for the corresponding channel. Writing '0' has no effect.
Reads '1' if conversion is completed. Reads '0' if conversion is in progress.

The ADC in STMPE610 operates on an internal RC clock with a typical frequency of
6.5 MHz. The total conversion time in ADC mode depends on the "SampleTime" setting,
and the clock division field 'Freq'.
The following table shows the conversion time based on 6.5 MHz, 3.25 MHz and 1.625 MHz
clock.
The STMPE610 is integrated with a hard-wired touchscreen controller for 4-wire resistive
type touchscreen. The touchscreen controller is able to operate completely autonomously,
and will interrupt the connected CPU only when a pre-defined event occurs.

10.1 Driver and switch control unit
The driver and switch control unit allows coordination of the ADC and the MUX/switch. With
the coordination of this unit, a stream of data is produced at a selected frequency.
The touchscreen drivers can be configured with 2 current ratings: 20 mA or 50 mA. In the
case where multiple touch-down on the screen is causing a short, the current from the driver
is limited to these values. Tolerance of these current setting is +/- 25%.
Movement tracking
The "Tracking Index" in the TSC_CTRL register specifies a value, which determines the
distance between the current touch position and the previous touch position. If the distance
is shorter than the tracking index, it is discarded.

The tracking is calculated by summation of the horizontal and vertical movement. Movement
is only reported if:
(Current X - Previously Reported X) + (Current Y - Previously Reported Y) > Tracking Index
If pressure reporting is enabled (X/Y/Z), an increase in pressure will override the movement
tracking and report the new data set, even if X/Y is within the previous tracking index. This is
to ensure that a slow touch will not be discarded.
If pressure data is not used, select X/Y mode in touchscreen data acquisition. (Opmode field
in TSCControl register).

Window tracking
The -WDW_X and WDW_Y registers allow to pre-set a sub-window in the touchscreen such
that any touch position that is outside the sub-window will be discarded.

FIFO
FIFO has a depth of 128 sectors. This is enough for 128 sets of touch data at maximum
resolution (2 x 12 bits). FIFO can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it is filled to
a pre-determined level.
Sampling
The STMPE610 touchscreen controller has an internal 180 kHz, 12-bit ADC able to execute
autonomous driving/sampling. Each "sample" consists of 4 ADC readings that provide the X
and Y locations, as well as the touch pressure.

Oversampling and averaging function
The STMPE610 touchscreen controller can be configured to oversample by 2/4/8 times and
provide the averaged value as final output. This feature helps to reduce the effect of
surrounding noise.
1. For large panels (> 6”), a capacitor of 10 nF is recommended at the touchscreen terminals for noise filtering.
In this case, settling time of 1 ms or more is recommended.

10.2 Touch detect delay
Touch Detect Delay is an additional method used to compensate for the time it takes for the
panel voltage to be pulled high during a non-touch condition.
For example, the way it works to detect a touch:
X+ is pulled high and Y+ is driven low. After Touch Detect Delay is expired the level of X+ is
read. If no touch, X+ is high. If there is a touch, X+ is low.
If the initial voltage of X+ is low before being pulled high by the internal resistor, especially if
a filtering capacitor is connected, this time needs to be compensated. The Touch Delay
setting provides time for the voltage to be pulled high in a non-touch condition and avoids a
false report of a touch condition.
Normally the Touch Detect Delay needs to be long enough to allow the voltage to rise to V+
in a non-touch condition and this will depend on the presence of external filtering capacitors.
For more details on recommendation of Touch Detect delay register setting, refer to
STMPE811 Application Note (AN2825 ST document).

The data format from the TSC_DATA register depends on the setting of "OpMode" field in
TSC_CTRL register. The samples acquired are accessed in "packed samples". The size of
each "packed sample" depends on which mode the touchscreen controller is operating in.
The TSC_DATA register can be accessed in 2 modes:
●Autoincrement
●Non autoincrement
To access the 128-sets buffer, the non autoincrement mode should be used.

Description:Writing each bit would ground the corresponding touchscreen wire
The following are the steps to configure the touchscreen controller (TSC):
a) Disable the clock gating for the touchscreen controller and ADC in the SYS_CFG2
register.
b) Configure the touchscreen operating mode and the window tracking index.
c) A touch detection status may also be enabled through enabling the corresponding
interrupt flag. With this interrupt, the user is informed through an interrupt when
the touch is detected as well as lifted.
d) Configure the TSC_CFG register to specify the “panel voltage settling time”, touch
detection delays and the averaging method used.
e) A windowing feature may also be enabled through TSCWdwTRX, TSCWdwTRY,
TSCWdwBLX and TSCWdwBLY registers. By default, the windowing covers the
entire touch panel.
f) Configure the TSC_FIFO_TH register to specify the threshold value to cause an
interrupt. The corresponding interrupt bit in the interrupt module must also be
enabled. This interrupt bit should be masked off during data fetching from the
FIFO in order to prevent an unnecessary trigger of this interrupt. Upon completion
of the data fetching, this bit can be re-enabled
g) By default, the FIFO_RESET bit in the TSC_FIFO_CTRL_STA register holds the
FIFO in Reset mode. Upon enabling the touchscreen controller (through the EN
bit in TSC_CTRL), this FIFO reset is automatically deasserted. The FIFO status
may be observed from the TSC_FIFO_CTRL_STA register or alternatively through
the interrupt.
h) Once the data is filled beyond the FIFO threshold value, an interrupt is triggered
(assuming the corresponding interrupt is being enabled). The user is required to
continuously read out the data set until the current FIFO size is below the
threshold, then, the user may clear the interrupt flag. As long as the current FIFO
size exceeds the threshold value, an interrupt from the touchscreen controller is
sent to the interrupt module. Therefore, even if the interrupt flag is cleared, the
interrupt flag will automatically be asserted, as long as the FIFO size exceeds the
threshold value.
i) The current FIFO size can be obtained from the TSC_FIFO_Sz register. This
information may assists the user in how many data sets are to be read out from
the FIFO, if the user intends to read all in one shot. The user may also read a data
set by a data set.
j) The TSC_DATA_X register holds the X-coordinates. This register can be used in
all touchscreen operating modes.
k) The TSC_DATA_Y register holds the Y-coordinates. TSC_DATA_Y register holds
the Y-coordinates.
l) The TSC_DATA_Z register holds the Z value. TSC_DATA_Z register holds the Z-
coordinates.
m) The TSCDATA_XYZ register holds the X, Y and Z values. These values are
packed into 4 bytes. This register can only be used when the touchscreen
operating mode is 000 and 001. This register is to facilitate less byte read.
n) For the TSC_FRACT_Z register, the user may configure it based on the
touchscreen panel resistance. This allows the user to specify the resolution of the
Z value. With the Z value obtained from the register, the user simply needs to
multiply the Z value with the touchscreen panel resistance to obtain the touch
resistance.
o) The TSC_DATA register allows facilitation of another reading format with minimum
2
I
C transaction overhead by using the non autoincrement mode (or equivalent
mode in SPI). The data format is the same as TSC_DATA_XYZ, with the
exception that all the data fetched are from the same address.
p) Enable the EN bit of the TSC_CTRL register to start the touch detection and data
acquisition.
q) During the auto-hibernate mode, a touch detection can cause a wake-up to the
device only when the TSC is enabled and the touch detect status interrupt mask is
enabled.
r) In order to prevent confusion, it is recommended that the user not mix the data
fetching format (TSC_DATA_X, TSC_DATA_Y, TSC_DATA_Z, TSC_DATA_XYZ
and TSC_DATA) between one reading and the next.
s) It is also recommended that the user should perform a FIFO reset and TSC
disabling when the ADC or TSC setting are reconfigured.

GPIO controllerSTMPE610
12 GPIO controller
A total of 6 GPIOs are available in the STMPE610 port expander device. Most of the GPIOs
share physical pins with some alternate functions. The GPIO controller contains the
registers that allow the host system to configure each of the pins into either a GPIO, or one
of the alternate functions. Unused GPIOs should be configured as outputs to minimize
power consumption.
A group of registers are used to control the exact function of each of the 6 GPIOs. The
registers and their respective addresses are listed in the following table.
