B | Page 6 of 20 AD7843 TERMINOLOGY Integral Nonlinearity This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition. Differential Nonlinearity This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC. Offset Error This is the deviation of the first code transition (00...000) to (00...001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB. Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time The track-and-hold amplifier enters the acquisition phase on the fifth falling edge of DCLK after the START bit has been detected. Three DCLK cycles are allowed for the track-and-hold acquisition time. The input signal is fully acquired to the 12-bit level within this time even with the maximum specified DCLK frequency. See the Analog Input section for more details. On Resistance This is a measure of the ohmic resistance between the drain and source of the switch drivers. Gain Error This is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111) from the ideal (VREF - 1 LSB) after the offset error has been adjusted out. Rev.

B | Page 10 of 20 AD7843 CIRCUIT INFORMATION The AD7843 is a fast, low-power, 12-bit, single-supply, A/D converter. The AD7843 can be operated from a 2.2 V to 5.25 V supply. When operated from either a 5 V supply or a 3 V supply, the AD7843 is capable of throughput rates of 125 kSPS when provided with a 2 MHz clock. The AD7843 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold, multiplexer, ADC, and serial interface housed in tiny 16-lead QSOP or TSSOP packages, which offer the user considerable space-saving advantages over alternative solutions. The serial clock input (DCLK) accesses data from the part and also provides the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The analog input range is 0 V to VREF (where the externally-applied VREF can be between 1 V and VCC). 111...000 1LSB = VREF/4096 011...111 000...010 000...001 000...000 0V +VREF-1LSB 1LSB ANALOG INPUT 02144-B-017 ADC CODE 111...111 111...110 Figure 17. AD7843 Transfer Characteristic TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM The analog input to the ADC is provided via an on-chip multiplexer. This analog input can be any one of the X and Y panel coordinates. The multiplexer is configured with low resistance switches that allow an unselected ADC input channel to provide power and an accompanying pin to provide ground for an external device. For some measurements, the on resistance of the switches could present a source of error. However, with a differential input to the converter and a differential reference architecture, this error can be negated. Figure 18 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7843 in a touch screen control application. The AD7843 requires an external reference and an external clock. The external reference can be any voltage between 1 V and VCC. The value of the reference voltage sets the input range of the converter. The conversion result is output MSB first, followed by the remaining 11 bits and three trailing zeroes, depending on the number of clocks used per conversion. (See the Serial Interface section.) For applications where power consumption is a concern, the power management option should be used to improve power performance. See Table 7 for the available power management options. ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION The output coding of the AD7843 is straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so forth.). The LSB size equals VREF/4096.

The track-and-hold amplifier enters tracking mode on the falling edge of the fifth DCLK after the START bit us detected (see Figure 24). The time required for the track-and-hold amplifier to acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the 37 pF input capacitance is charged. With zero source impedance on the analog input, three DCLK cycles are always sufficient to acquire the signal to the 12-bit level. With a source impedance RIN on the analog input, the actual acquisition time required is calculated using the formula: Table 5 shows the multiplexer address corresponding to each analog input, both for the SER/DFR bit in the control register set high and low. The control bits are provided serially to the device via the DIN pin. For more information on the control register, see the Control Register section. t ACQ = 8.4 x (RIN + 100 ) x 37 pF When the converter enters hold mode, the voltage difference between the +IN and -IN inputs (see Figure 19) is captured on the internal capacitor array. The input current on the analog inputs depends on the conversion rate of the device. During the sample period, the source must charge the internal sampling capacitor (typically 37 pF). Once the capacitor is fully charged, there is no further input current. The rate of charge transfer from the analog source to the converter is a function of conversion rate. where RIN is the source impedance of the input signal and 100 and 37 pF is the input RC value. Depending on the frequency of DCLK used, three DCLK cycles may or may not be sufficient to acquire the analog input signal with various source impedance values.

B | Page 12 of 20 +REF2 VREF VREF VREF VREF Y+ X+ -REF2 GND GND GND GND Y- X- AD7843 In some applications, external capacitors could be required across the touch screen to filter noise associated with it, for example, noise generated by the LCD panel or backlight circuitry. The value of these capacitors causes a settling time requirement when the panel is touched. The settling time typically appears as a gain error. There are several methods for minimizing or eliminating this issue. The problem could be that the input signal, reference, or both have not settled to their final value before the sampling instant of the ADC. Additionally, the reference voltage could still be changing during the conversion cycle. One option is to stop, or slow down the DCLK for the required touch screen settling time. This allows the input and reference to stabilize for the acquisition time, which resolves the issue for both single-ended and differential modes. The other option is to operate the AD7843 in differential mode only for the touch screen and to program the AD7843 to keep the touch screen drivers on and not go into power-down (PD0 = PD1 = 1). Several conversions might be required, depending on the settling time required and the AD7843 data rate. Once the required number of conversions are made, the AD7843 can then be placed into a power-down state on the last measurement. The last method is to use the 15 DCLK cycle mode, which maintains the touch screen drivers on until it is commanded to stop by the processor. switches that supply the external touch screen can be turned off once the acquisition is complete, resulting in a power saving. However, the on resistance of the Y drivers affects the input voltage that can be acquired. The full touch screen resistance may be in the order of 200 to 900 , depending on the manufacturer. Therefore if the on resistance of the switches is approximately 6 , true full-scale and zero-scale voltages cannot be acquired regardless of where the pen/stylus is on the touch screen. Note that the minimum touch screen resistance recommended for use with the AD7843 is approximately 70 . +VCC Y+ VREF X+ IN+ REF+ IN+ ADC CORE IN- REF- Y- 02144-B-021 Touch Screen Settling GND Figure 21. Single-Ended Reference Mode (SER/DFR = 1) In this mode of operation, therefore, some voltage is likely to be lost across the internal switches and, in addition to this, it is unlikely that the internal switch resistance will track the resistance of the touch screen over temperature and supply, providing an additional source of error. Reference Input 3-TO-1 MUX ADC The alternative to this situation is to set the SER/DFR bit low. If one again considers making a Y-coordinate measurement, but now the +REF and -REF nodes of the ADC are connected directly to the Y+ and Y- pins, this means the analog-to-digital conversion is ratiometric. The result of the conversion is always a percentage of the external resistance, independent of how it could change with respect to the on resistance of the internal switches. Figure 22 shows the configuration for a ratiometric Ycoordinate measurement. It should be noted that the differential reference mode can be used only with +VCC since the source of the +REF voltage and cannot be used with VREF. The disadvantage of this mode of operation is that during both the acquisition phase and conversion process, the external touch screen must remain powered. This results in additional supply current for the duration of the conversion. +VCC Figure 20. Reference Input Circuitry When making touch screen measurements, conversions can be made in the differential (ratiometric) mode or the single-ended mode. If the SER/DFR bit is set to 1 in the control register, a single-ended conversion is performed. Figure 21 shows the configuration for a single-ended Y-coordinate measurement. The X+ input is connected to the analog to digital converter, the Y+ and Y- drivers are turned on, and the voltage on X+ is digitized. The conversion is performed with the ADC referenced from GND to VREF. The advantage of this mode is that the Rev. B | Page 13 of 20 Y+ X+ IN+ REF+ IN+ ADC CORE IN- REF- Y- GND 02144-B-022 X+ Y+ VREF 02144-B-020 The voltage difference between +REF and -REF (see Figure 19) sets the analog input range. The AD7843 operates with a reference input in the range of 1 V to VCC. The voltage into the VREF input is not buffered and directly drives the capacitor DAC portion of the AD7843. Figure 20 shows the reference input circuitry. Typically, the input current is 8 A with VREF = 2.5 V and fSAMPLE = 125 kHz. This value varies by a few microamps, depending on the result of the conversion. The reference current diminishes directly with both conversion rate and reference voltage. As the current from the reference is drawn on each bit decision, clocking the converter more quickly during a given conversion period does not reduce the overall current drain from the reference. Figure 22. Differential Reference Mode (SER/DFR = 0) AD7843 CONTROL REGISTER The control word provided to the ADC via the DIN pin is shown in Table 6. This provides the conversion start, channel addressing, ADC conversion resolution, configuration, and power-down of the AD7843. Table 6 provides detailed information on the order and description of these control bits within the control word. Initiate START The first bit, the S bit, must always be set to 1 to initiate the start of the control word. The AD7843 ignores any inputs on the DIN line until the START bit is detected. Channel Addressing The next three bits in the control register, A2, A1, and A0, select the active input channel(s) of the input multiplexer (see Table 5 and Figure 19), touch screen drivers, and the reference inputs. MODE The MODE bit sets the resolution of the analog to digital converter. With 0 in this bit, the following conversion has 12 bits of resolution. With 1 in this bit, the following conversion has 8 bits of resolution. derived from the voltage at the switch drivers, which is almost the same as the voltage to the touch screen. In this case, a separate reference voltage is not needed because the reference voltage to the ADC is the voltage across the touch screen. In single-ended mode, the reference voltage to the converter is always the difference between the VREF and GND pins. See Table 5 and Figure 19 through Figure 22 for further information. Because the supply current required by the device is so low, a precision reference can be used as the supply source to the AD7843. It may also be necessary to power the touch screen from the reference, which could require 5 mA to 10 mA. A REF19x voltage reference can source up to 30 mA and, as such, could supply both the ADC and the touch screen. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that the input voltage applied to the ADC does not exceed the reference voltage and therefore the supply voltage. See the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. Note that the differential mode can only be used for X-position and Y-Position measurements. All other measurements require single-ended mode. PD0 and PD1 SER/DFR The SER/DFR bit controls the reference mode, which can be either single-ended or differential if 1 or 0 is written to this bit, respectively. The differential mode is also referred to as the ratiometric conversion mode. This mode is optimum for X-position and Y-position measurements. The reference is The power management options are selected by programming the power management bits, PD0 and PD1, in the control register. Table 7 summarizes the available options. On power-up, PD0 defaults to 0, while PD1 defaults to 1.. Table 6.

The power dissipation during normal operation is typically 210 A (VCC = 2.7 V). The power-up time of the ADC is instantaneous, so when the part is converting, it consumes 210 A. In this mode of operation, the part powers up on the fourth falling edge of DCLK after the start bit is recognized. It goes back into power-down at the end of conversion on the 20th falling edge of DCLK. This means the part consumes 210 A for 16 DCLK cycles only, 8 s, during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the cycle time is 100 s and the average power dissipated during each cycle is (8/100) x (210 A) = 16.8 A. 1000 SUPPLY CURRENT (A) By using the power-down options on the AD7843 when not converting, the average power consumption of the device decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 23 shows how, as the throughput rate is reduced while maintaining the DCLK frequency at 2 MHz, the device remains in its power-down state longer and the average current consumption over time drops accordingly. Figure 23. Supply Current vs. Throughput (A) Table 7. Power Management Options PD1 PD0 PENIRQ Description 0 0 Enabled 0 1 Disabled 1 1 0 1 Enabled Disabled This configuration results in power-down of the device between conversions. The AD7843 only powers down between conversions. Once PD1 and PD0 are set to 0, 0, the conversion is performed first, and the AD7843 powers down upon completion of that conversion. At the start of the next conversion, the ADC instantly powers up to full power. This means there is no need for additional delays to ensure full operation, and the very first conversion is valid. The Y- switch is on while in power-down. This configuration results in the same behavior as when PD1 and PD0 have been programmed with 0, 0, except that PENIRQ is disabled. The Y- switch is off while in power-down. This configuration results in keeping the AD7843 permanently powered up with PENIRQ enabled. This configuration results in keeping the AD7843 always powered up with PENIRQ disabled. Rev. B | Page 15 of 20 AD7843 SERIAL INTERFACE Figure 24 shows the typical operation of the serial interface of the AD7843. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7843. One complete conversion can be achieved with 24 DCLK cycles. control word is complete (the power management bits are now updated) and the converter enters conversion mode. At this point, track-and-hold goes into hold mode, the input signal is sampled, and the BUSY output goes high (BUSY returns low on the next falling edge of DCLK). The internal switches may also turn off at this point if in single-ended mode. The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process. The falling edge of CS takes the BUSY output and the serial bus out of three-state. The first eight DCLK cycles are used to write to the control register via the DIN pin. The control register is updated in stages as each bit is clocked in. Once the converter has enough information about the following conversion to set the input multiplexer and switches appropriately, the converter enters acquisition mode and, if required, the internal switches are turned on. During the acquisition mode, the reference input data is updated. After the three DCLK cycles of acquisition, the The next 12 DCLK cycles are used to perform the conversion and to clock out the conversion result. If the conversion is ratiometric (SER/DFR set low), the internal switches are on during the conversion. A 13th DCLK cycle is needed to allow the DSP/microcontroller to clock in the LSB. Three more DCLK cycles clock out the three trailing zeroes and complete the 24 DCLK transfer. The 24 DCLK cycles can be provided from a DSP or via three bursts of 8 clock cycles from a microcontroller.

B | Page 16 of 20 02144-B-024 DCLK AD7843 DETAILED SERIAL INTERFACE TIMING Figure 25 shows the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing to the AD7843. Writing information to the control register takes place on the first eight rising edges of DCLK in a data transfer. The control register is written to only if a START bit is detected (see the Control Register section) on DIN. The initiation of the following conversion also depends on the presence of the START bit. Throughout the eight DCLK cycles when data is being written to the part, the DOUT line is driven low. The MSB of the conversion result is clocked out on the falling edge of the ninth DCLK cycle and is valid on the rising edge of the tenth DCLK cycle; therefore, nine leading zeros can be clocked out prior to the MSB. This means the data seen on the DOUT line in the 24 DCLK conversion cycle is presented in the form of nine leading zeros, twelve bits of data, and three trailing zeros. The rising edge of CS puts the bus and the BUSY output back into three-state, the DIN line is ignored, and, if a conversion is in progress at the time, this is also aborted. However, if CS is not brought high after the completion of the conversion cycle, then the part waits for the next START bit to initiate the next conversion. This means that each conversion does not necessarily need to be framed by CS, because once CS goes low, the part detects each START bit and clocks in the control word after it on DIN. When the AD7843 is in the 12-bit conversion mode, a second START bit is not detected until seven DCLK pulses have elapsed after a control word is clocked in on DIN, that is, another START bit can be clocked in on the eighth DCLK rising edge after a control word is written to the device (see the Fifteen Clocks per Cycle section). If the device is in the 8-bit conversion mode, a second START bit is not recognized until three DCLK pulses elapse after the control word is clocked in, that is, another START bit can be clocked in on the fourth DCLK rising edge after a control word is written to the device. Because a START bit can be recognized during a conversion, the control word for the next conversion can be clocked in during the current conversion, enabling the AD7843 to complete a conversion cycle in less than 24 DCLKs.

B | Page 17 of 20 02144-B-025 DIN AD7843 Sixteen Clocks per Cycle 8-Bit Conversion The control bits for the next conversion can be overlapped with the current conversion to allow for a conversion every 16 DCLK cycles, as shown in Figure 26. This timing diagram also allows for the possibility of communication with other serial peripherals between each (eight DCLK) byte transfer between the processor and the converter. However, the conversion must be completed within a short enough time frame to avoid capacitive droop effects that could distort the conversion result. It should also be noted that the AD7843 is fully powered while other serial communications are taking place between byte transfers. By setting the MODE bit to 1 in the control register, the AD7843 can operate in 8-bit rather than 12-bit mode. This mode allows a faster throughput rate to be achieved, assuming 8-bit resolution is sufficient. When using the 8-bit mode, a conversion is complete four clock cycles earlier than in the 12-bit mode. This could be used with serial interfaces that provide 12 clock transfers, or two conversions could be completed with three 8-clock transfers. The throughput rate increases by 25% as a result of the shorter conversion cycle, but the conversion itself can occur at a faster clock rate because the internal settling time of the AD7843 is not as critical because settling to 8 bits is all that is required. The clock rate can be as much as 50% faster. The faster clock rate and fewer clock cycles combine to provide double the conversion rate. Fifteen Clocks per Cycle Figure 27 shows the fastest way to clock the AD7843. This scheme does not work with most microcontrollers or DSPs because, in general, they are not capable of generating a 15-clock-cycle-per-serial transfer. However, some DSPs allow the number of clocks per cycle to be programmed; this method could also be used with FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) or ASICs (application specific integrated circuits). As in the 16-clocks-per-cycle case, the control bits for the next conversion are overlapped with the current conversion to allow a conversion every 15 DCLK cycles, using 12 DCLKs to perform the conversion and three DCLKs to acquire the analog input. This effectively increases the throughput rate of the AD7843 beyond that used for the specifications that are tested using 16 DCLKs per cycle, and DCLK = 2 MHz.

By connecting a pull-up resistor (10 k to 100 k) between VCC and this CMOS logic open-drain output, the PENIRQ output remains high normally. If PENIRQ is enabled (see Table 7), when the touch screen connected to the AD7843 is touched via a pen or finger, the PENIRQ output goes low, initiating an interrupt to a microprocessor that can then instruct a control word to be written to the AD7843 to initiate a conversion. This output can also be enabled between conversions during power-down (see Table 7 ), allowing power-up to be initiated only when the screen is touched. The result of the first touch screen coordinate conversion after power-up is valid, assuming any external reference is settled to the 12- or 8-bit level as required. Once the START bit is detected, the pen interrupt function is disabled and the PENIRQ cannot respond to screen touches. The PENIRQ output remains low until the fourth falling edge of DCLK after the START bit has been clocked in, at which point it returns high as soon as possible, regardless of the touch screen capacitance. This does not mean that the pen interrupt function is now enabled again because the power-down bits have not yet been loaded to the control register. Regardless of whether PENIRQ is to be enabled again or not, the PENIRQ output normally always idles high. Assuming that the PENIRQ is enabled again as shown in Figure 29, once the conversion is complete, the PENIRQ output responds to a screen touch again. The fact that PENIRQ returns high almost immediately after the fourth falling edge of DCLK means the user avoids any spurious interrupts on the microprocessor or DSP, which could occur if the interrupt request line on the microprocessor/DSP was unmasked during or toward the end of conversion with the PENIRQ pin still low. Once the next START bit is detected by the AD7843, the PENIRQ function is disabled again. +VCC Y+ 100k +VCC EXTERNAL PULL-UP PENIRQ X+ PENIRQ ENABLE 02144-B-028 ON Figure 28. PENIRQ Functional Block Diagram Figure 29 assumes that the PENIRQ function is enabled in the last write or that the part has just been powered up, so PENIRQ is enabled by default. Once the screen is touched, the PENIRQ output goes low a time tPEN later. This delay is approximately 5 s, assuming a 10 nF touch screen capacitance, and varies with the touch screen resistance actually used. SCREEN TOUCHED HERE tPEN If the control register write operation overlaps with the data read, a START bit is always detected prior to the end of conversion. This means that even if the PENIRQ function has been enabled in the control register, it is disabled by the START bit again before the end of the conversion is reached; therefore the PENIRQ function effectively cannot be used in this mode. However, as conversions are occurring continuously, the PENIRQ function is not necessary and, therefore, redundant.
