MK712

I C R O C LO C K Description The MK712 Touch Screen Controller IC provides all the screen drive, A to D converter and control circuits to easily interface to 4-wire analog resistive touch screens. The IC continually monitors the screen waiting for a touch. In this mode, the supply current is typically 0.5µA. When the screen is touched, the IC performs analog to digital conversions to determine the location of the touch, stores the X and Y locations in the registers, and issues an interrupt. This process is repeated up to 197 times per second until no further screen touches are detected, at which time the low current mode is resumed.

Interrupts Interrupts are controlled by register 6 (see Register Description). The INT pin (pin 2) goes high to signal an interrupt. Interrupts are then cleared by reading any register. However, if the MK712 is in the process of generating an interrupt during a read cycle, then the interrupt is not cleared and INT will stay high. This internal process may take 100ns, and so to guarantee that the interrupt is cleared, two successive read cycles may be necessary.

With a 14.318 MHz clock. Calculating Points Per Second The formula for determining P.P.S. is: P.P.S. = fin 35716 + (4096 x COUNT) Where fin is the frequency of the CLKIN input. Power-On Reset On application of power, an internal reset is generated that clears all bits in registers 0, 1, and 6. Register 7 is set to 32 giving a rate of 86 PPS. Note that clearing register 6 puts the IC into the power down condition. Initializing the MK712 The interrupt on the MK712 can only be cleared by reading a register or by writing register 6 to the power down condition. After a fault condition, initialize the MK712 by writing register 6 to zero and then writing register 6 to the desired value. This will always clear pending interrupts.

When the screen is touched, the X plate is pulled high, which is detected by the MK712. This initiates a conversion (as long as periodic conversions are enabled). Some de-bounce is provided by the time constant of the screen decoupling capacitors combined with the screen resistance. However, once conversions have started, pen bounce will not be detected until after both the X and Y points have been taken. If the pen is lifted during a conversion, this will also not be detected until the conversion is complete. This is typically indicated by a point with the correct Y coordinates, but minimum (for that screen) X coordinates. Screen Decoupling The component values suggested should give excellent results. However, for screens with a high resistance operating at a high conversion rate, extra interrupts may be issued. This is because the time constant of the screen decoupling capacitors and screen resistance is high, resulting in the screen appearing to be untouched and then touched between conversions. These extra interrupts can be eliminated by reducing the size of the screen decoupling capacitors on pins XH, XL, YH, and YL. This will, however, slightly reduce the noise rejection, which could decrease the accuracy of the conversion. 6 Revision 100899 Printed 11/16/00 Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc.•525 Race St.•San Jose•CA•95126•(408)295-9800tel•www.icst.com MDS 712 I I C R O C LO C K MK712 Touch Screen Controller Optimizing Performance when Reading and Writing Registers Reading and writing the MK712 generates digital noise that may reduce the accuracy of the A to D converter. This noise has several causes, including board layout, data bus loading, and power supply voltage. By appropriately timing the register operations, the effects of this noise can be minimized. After an interrupt is issued, the MK712 allows a minimum of 1 millisecond to elapse before initiating the conversion cycle. This allows the screen drivers to settle. For best performance, complete all register operations within this 1ms window after an interrupt. Power Down/Stopping the Clock If the screen is untouched, the supply current is under 3µA. If the input clock is stopped, the supply current is also less than 3µA. When the screen is touched with no clock, TOUCH goes low and INT goes high, but no further operations occur until the clock starts. A to D conversions are invalid until after the clock has stabilized at the correct frequency and one full conversion cycle has been completed. Input Clock The MK712 is highly tolerant of different clock frequencies (from 12 to 20 MHz), rise times, and duty cycles. However, any input clock undershoot or overshoot will cause the MK712 to draw extra current. This can be eliminated by using a MicroClock clock synthesizer and properly terminating the clock driver. MicroClock makes low power clock synthesizers with 14.3 MHz power down. Resistive Touch Screen (4 Wire) Resistive touch screens consist of 2 resistive plates that are separated by a small gap. Each plate has an electrode at each end and when the screen is touched, the two plates are shorted together at that point. YH Y PLATE X PLATE Electrode XL YL XH If a voltage is applied, for example, between XL and XH, then a voltage divider is formed on the X PLATE. When the Y PLATE is touched to the X PLATE, a voltage will be developed on the Y PLATE that is proportional to distance of the touch from XL and XH. By accurately measuring this voltage, the position of the touch can be determined. MDS 712 I 7 Revision 100899 Printed 11/16/00 Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc.•525 Race St.•San Jose•CA•95126•(408)295-9800tel•www.icst.com I C R O C LO C K Recommended Method for Reading Points MK712 Touch Screen Controller If the user is pressing lightly on the touch screen, it is likely that the screen contact will be intermittent. The screen will bounce, causing false points. This effect can be reduced by insuring that the screen is touched both before and after a conversion. By doing this, the first and last point in a series of points are discarded. The following algorithm checks that a point has valid touches both before and after a conversion, and it distinguishes between change-in-touch interrupts and conversion complete interrupts. Register 6 bits 0, 1, and 2 must all be true (logical 1) in order to use this method. Start Wait for Interrupt Interrupt Read Register 0 D7D5, store as D7D5(n) Increment n No Is D7D5(n-1) = 11b and D7D5(n) =11b? Yes Write point n-1 to display Write previous point. Are this point and the previous point valid? (11b = binary 11) Read X and Y, store as point n Warning - When Using a Switching Regulator Power Supply When using the MK712 in a system where the power is supplied by a switching regulator, do not perform screen conversions when the regulator is operating in the power saving mode. Some switching regulators feature a low power mode (for example, Linear Technology’s “Burst Mode”) where the output is turned on and off in order to save power. The extra power supply noise generated when using this mode causes spurious data points to be returned from the MK712, so it should be disabled when the MK712 is doing screen conversions. MDS 712 I 8 Revision 100899 Printed 11/16/00 Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc.•525 Race St.•San Jose•CA•95126•(408)295-9800tel•www.icst.com I C R O C LO C K Analog to Digital Converter Operation MK712 Touch Screen Controller The 12-bit ADC converts X and Y co-ordinates at a rate determined by registers 6 and 7. The converter uses a ratiometric technique to give absolute co-ordinates on the screen, largely independent of variations in screen resistance, temperature or power supply voltage. The total voltage applied across the screen is defined as full-scale for the converter (i.e. 4095) and any point touched on the screen is proportional to this. For example, if the screen is touched exactly in the center, the converter will read 2047. This feature may allow for the elimination of calibration upon startup. However, the full scale voltage is defined at the IC pins and so any parasitic interconnect resistance will be included in full scale. In addition, the interconnect resistances on the screen also account for about 20% of the total resistance. This means that approximately the bottom 10% and top 10% of full scale are inaccessible. The converter is guaranteed to be monotonic, with no missing codes.
