KEY PRODUCT FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX8652 is a very low power, high reliability controller
for 4-wire and 5-wire resistive touch screens used in PDAs,
portable
instruments
and
point-of-sales
terminal
applications. It features a wide input supply range from
1.65V to 3.7V and low power modes to preserve current
when the screen is unintentionally touched.
To compute touch screen X-Y coordinates and touch
pressure with precision, a low power 12-bit analog-digital
converter is activated with the possibility to enable on-chip
data averaging processing algorithms to reduce host activity
and suppress system noise.
The touch screen controller inputs have been specially
designed to provide robust on-chip ESD protection of up to
±15kV in both HBM and Contact Discharge, and eliminates
the need for external protection devices. The SX8652 is
controlled by a high speed SPI™ serial interface.
The SX8652 is available in a 4.0 mm x 3.0 mm 14-DFN
package and a 1.5 mm x 2.0 mm wafer level chip scale
package (WLCSP) for space conscience applications.

3. Functional Description
3.1. General Introduction
This section provides an overview of the SX8652 architecture, device pinout and a typical application.
The SX8652 is designed for 4-wire and 5-wire resistive touch screen applications. The touch screen or touch panel is the
resistive sensor and can be activated by either a finger or stylus. When the top layer is pressed, it makes contact with the
bottom sheet and the touch location can be measured.
As shown in Figure 5 with a 4-wire panel, the touch screen coordinates and touch pressure are converted into SPI format
by the SX8652 for transfer to the host. The auxiliary input can be used to convert with 12-bit resolution any analog input in
the supply range. It can also serves as an external synchronisation input to trig the touchscreen acquisition as described in
the Application Information section.

DATASHEET
3.2. Device Interface and ESD protection
The touch screen controller inputs have been specially designed to provide robust on-chip ESD protection of up to ±15kV
in both HBM and Contact Discharge.
3.2.1. Touchscreen interface
The X+/BR, X-/TL, Y+/TR,Y-/BL, AUX/WIPER are the pins dedicated for the touchscreen interface. It provides the voltage
sequence in order to obtain the coordinates and pressure measurement.
The five pins are connected to BR, TL, TR, BL, WIPER on a 5-wire touchscreen. They are the electrodes on the 4 corners
of the bottom layer of the touchscreen plus the electrode on the top layer.
On a 4-wire touchscreen, only 4 electrodes are used: X+,X-,Y+,Y-. The AUX pin is not needed and therefore can be used
to convert an analog signal (range GND - VDD) into 12-bit digital value. The touchscreen interface pins are the most
exposed pins for an ESD event.
As shown in Figure 7, theses pins have internal ESD protection to GROUND and VDD.
3.2.2. Host Interface and Control Pins
The SX8652 is a slave device configured via the SPI interface.
NIRQ provides an interrupt to the host processor when a pen is detected or when channel data is available. The NIRQ pin
is an active low, open drain output to facilitate interfacing to different supply voltages and thus requires an external pull-up
resistor (1-10 kOhm).
The host can reset the chip via the SPI interface or with the dedicated pin NRST. The NRST pin is an active low input that
provides a hardware reset. An internal pull-up enables the interfacing with devices at different supply voltage.
NRST and NIRQ pins are protected to GROUND.

Figure 8. 4-wire Touch Screen
When a pressure is applied on the top sheet with a stylus for example, a connection with the lower sheet is made.
The contact point split the Rxtot bottom resistance in the vertical axis into two resistances
R1 and R2. In the same way, the Rytot resistance in the horizontal axis of the top sheet is
divided into two resistances R3 and R4.
Rxtot = R1 + R2
Rytot = R3 + R4
The touchscreen controller imposes a voltage level on X or Y electrodes allowing the
detection of the contact position.
4.2. Coordinates Measurement
During the touch, the top and bottom touchscreen layers
are connected. The resistance between the two sheets
is RT. A current coming from the reference voltage goes
from X+ to X- to perform the X coordinate
measurement. Figure 9 shows the measurement
schematics.

4.3. Pressure Measurement
The 4-wire touchscreen allows pressure measurement. The contact resistance between the two sheets are a function of
the pressure applied on the top sheet. Indeed, the a low pressure applied with the finger will create a small contact area.
With a greater pressure, the contact area will be bigger and the RT resistance smaller.
The RT contact resistance is therefore an indication of the applied pressure. RT is deducted from Z1 and Z2 measurement.
The measurement setup given in Table 7 allows to find Z1 and Z2.
R4
z1 = 4095 ⋅ --------------------------------R1 + R4 + R T
R4 + Rt
z2 = 4095 ⋅ --------------------------------R1 + R4 + R T
Arranging Z1 and Z2 with Rxtot and Rytot allows the
computation of RT.
An alternative calculation method is using Xpos and Ypos.

4.4. Pen Detection
The pen detection circuitry is used to detect a user action on the
touchscreen. The contact between the two layers generates an interrupt or
starts an acquisition sequence.
Doing a pen detection prior to conversion avoids feeding the host with
dummy data and saves power.
If the touchscreen is powered between X+ and Y- through a resistor RPNDT,
no current will flow so long as pressure is not applied to the surface (see
Figure 10).
When a pressure is applied, a current path is created and brings X+ to the
level defined by the resistive divider determined by RPNDT and the sum of
R1, RT and R4.

RPNDT should be set to the greatest value of 200 kOhm for optimal detection (see Table 15). Increasing PowDly settings
can also improve the detection on panel with high resistance.
The pen detection will set the PENIRQ bit of the RegStat register. The PENIRQ bit will be cleared and the NIRQ will be deasserted as soon as the host reads the status register.
In PENDET mode, the pen detection will set NIRQ low.

5. 5-wire Touch Screen Detailed Description
5.1. Touch Screen Operation
As the 4-wire, the 5-wire resistive touch screen consists of two resistive
sheets separated by an insulator (Figure 11). The main difference is that
the 4 wires are connected on the 4 corners of the bottom conductive
sheet. They are referred as Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom
Right.

The fifth wire is embedded in the top sheet and is used for sensing the
electrode voltage and is referred as the wiper.

5.2. Coordinates Measurement
When the electrodes TL is connected with BL and TR with BR, they form with the linearization pattern 2 electrodes bars
which are very similar to the X electrodes in a 4-wire touchscreen. In the same way, the association of TL with TR and BL
with BR create Y electrodes.
The four corners are therefore able to produce voltage gradients in the horizontal and vertical axis. The wiper is connected
to the high input impedance of the ADC. When a pressure is applied on the top sheet, the contact point split the bottom
sheet resistance into R1 and R2 on the X axis and R3 and R4 on the Y axis.
The X and Y position converted by the 12-bit ADC
gives the following result.
R2
Xpos = 4095 ⋅ -------------------R1 + R2
R4
Ypos = 4095 ⋅ -------------------R3 + R4
5.3. Pen Detection
The BR pin is connected to the positive pin of the reference voltage through
RPNDT. The wiper panel is grounded at the AUX/WIPER pin to provide the
grounding path for a screen touch event.
The BR pin is monitored to detect voltage drop. When a pressure is applied on
the top surface, a current path is created between the two layers and the
PENIRQ bit of the RegStat register will be set. RPNDT should be set to the
greatest value of 200 kOhm for optimal detection (see Table 15). Increasing
PowDly settings can also improve the detection on panel with high resistance.
In PENDET mode, the pen detection will set NIRQ low.

6. Data Processing
The SX8652 offers 4 types of data processing which allows the user to make trade-offs between data throughput, power
consumption and noise rejection. The parameter FILT is used to select the filter order Nfilt as seen in Table 8.
The sn samples from the ADC can be averaged. The processed cn 12-bit value is then send through the SPI bus.
The noise rejection will be improved with a high order to the detriment of the power consumption.
The K coefficient in Table 8 is a filter constant. Its value is K=4079/4095.

7. Power-Up, Reset
During power-up, NIRQ pin is kept low, the POR reset all
registers and states of the SX8652. The SX8652 is not
accessible and SPI communications are ignored.
As soon as NIRQ rises, the SX8652 is in manual mode with
only the SPI peripheral enabled to minimize power
consumption.
The host can reset the SX8652 by setting the NRST pin low or
via the SPI bus. Writing the code 0xDE to the register
RegSoftReset reset the circuit.
When NRST is driven LOW by the host, NIRQ will be driven low
by the SX8652. After the reset NIRQ will be released by the
SX8652.

8. Modes of Operation
The SX8652 has four operation modes that are configured using the SPI commands as defined in Table 13 and Table 15.
These 4 modes are:
manual (command ‘MANAUTO’ and RATE=0),
automatic (command ‘MANAUTO’ and RATE>0),
pen detect (command ‘PENDET’),
pen trigger mode (command ‘PENTRG’).

15kV ESD Low Power 4-Wire / 5-Wire Resistive
Touchscreen Controller with SPI Interface
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
DATASHEET
In the PENDET mode the pen detection is activated. The SX8652 will generate an interrupt (NIRQ) upon pen detection and
set the PENIRQ bit in the SPI status register. To quit the PENDET mode the host needs to configure the manual mode.
In the PENTRG mode the pen detection is activated and a channel conversion will start after the detection of a pen. The
SX8652 will generate an interrupt (NIRQ) upon pen detection and set the CONVIRQ bit in the SPI status register. To quit
the PENTRIG mode the host needs to configure the manual mode. The PENTRG mode offers the best compromise
between power consumption and coordinate throughput.
8.1. MANual Mode
In manual mode (RATE=0), the host sequences all the actions by the SPI commands described in Table 9.
When a command is received, the SX8652 executes the associated task and waits for the next command.
Command
Action
Select and bias a channel
Wait for the programmed settling time (POWDLY)
CONVERT(CHAN)
Start conversion
Select and bias a channel
SELECT(CHAN)
Table 9.
CONVERT and SELECT command
The channel can be biased for an arbitrary amount of time by first sending a SELECT command and then a CONVERT
command once the settling time requirement is met.
The SELECT command can be omitted if the large range of POWDLY settings cover the requirements. In the latter case,
the CONVERT command alone is enough to perform an acquisition.
With CHAN=SEQ, multiple channels are sampled. This requires programming the POWDLY field in register RegCTRL0.
The selected channel will be powered during POWDLY before a conversion is started. The channel bias is automatically
removed after the conversion has completed.
8.2. AUTOmatic mode
In automatic mode (RATE > 0), SX8652 start the acquisition when a touch is detected. It converts all the channels selected
with RegChnMsk and set NIRQ low when it is finished.
After the host has read the channels, if CONDIRQ=1 and the touch is detected again, the SX8652 starts a new conversion
cycle.
To not loose data, the SX8652 does not begin conversion before the host read all the channels.
We can define the time ts between the start of the conversion and the end of the channels reading by the host.
The rate programmed is achieved if ts<1/RATE otherwise the new rate is 1/ts.
When the control CONDIRQ bit (see register RegStat Table 15) is set to ‘1’ then the interrupts will only be generated if the
pen detect occurred. This result in a regular interrupt stream, as long as the host performs the read channel commands,
and the screen is touched. When the screen is not touched, interrupts does not occur.
If the control CONDIRQ bit is cleared to ‘0’, the interrupts will be always generated. In case there is no pen detected on the
screen then the coordinate data will be qualified as invalid, see section [9.5]. This result in a regular interrupt stream as
long as the host performs the read channel commands,
This working is illustrated in Figure 16.
Figure 14 shows the SPI working in automatic mode with CONDIRQ=1. After the first sentence send through the SPI to
make the initialization, traffic is reduced as only reads are required.

The processing time is the
necessary time for the SX8652 to
makes the pen detection, the
settling time (POWDLY) and the
conversion of the selected
channels. This time increases with
the number of channel selected
and the filter used. NIRQ interrupt
signal notifies the host when the
conversions are done.

8.3. PENDET Mode
The PENDET mode can be used if the host only needs to know if the screen has been touched or not and take from that
information further actions. When pen detect circuitry is triggered the interrupt signal NIRQ will be generated and the status
register bit ‘PENIRQ’ will be set. The bit is cleared by reading the status register RegStat. The PENDET working is
illustrated in Figure 16.
8.4. PENTRIG Mode
The PENTRIG mode offers the best
compromise between power consumption
and coordinate throughput.
In this mode the SX8652 will wait until a pen
is detected on the screen and then starts the
coordinate conversions. The host will be
signaled only when the screen is touched and
coordinates are available. The flowchart is
describes in Figure 16.
The coordinate rate in pen trigger mode is
determined by the speed of the host reading
the channels and the conversion times of the
channels. The host performs the minimum
number of SPI commands in this mode.
The host has to wait for the NIRQ interrupt to
make the acquisition of the data.

9. Host Interface
The host interfaced is composed of a SPI bus. It performs the read/ write operations on the registers and channels data.
9.1. SPI Read/Write Registers
The WRITE command allows the host to write a single or multiple registers in the SX8652. The host can read single or
multiple registers from the SX8652 by the READ command. This is defined in Table 10.

Five channels can be sampled by the SX8652: X, Y, Z1, Z2 and AUX. They are defined in Table 12. They can be converted
in sequence with the RegChanMsk register.
The READCHAN command allows the host to read the data obtained after the channels conversion and processing.

Table 12. Channel definition
The channel data are 12-bit of unsigned format which corresponds to integers between 0 and 4095. This is send on two
bytes, MSB first then LSB. A mask with the value 0x0FFF (4095) must be done to filter the four first unknown bit.
When a channel data has been transmitted, the next one is sent in the successive order: X,Y, Z1, Z2 and AUX. If a channel
has not been converted, the data is not transmitted.
When the channel data buffer gets empty, the data will carry an invalid data as explained in the channel data format.
Remark: After a conversion sequence, it is possible to read only one time the same channel.
Example: the SX8652 is set to convert X and Y. The value 0xC0 is set in RegChanMsk. The first byte read after the
READCHAN command will be X(MSB), then X(LSB), Y(MSB) and at the end Y(LSB). If the host carry on the reading, it will
get invalid data.

9.4. SPI implementation and multiple Read/Write
The SPI implemented on the SX8652 is set to the common setting CPOL=0 and CPHA=0 which means data are sampled
on the rising edge of the clock, and shifted on the falling one.
The default state of the clock when NCS gets asserted is low. If a host send a command while the system is busy, the
command is discarded.
The SPI protocol is designed to be able to do multiple read/write during a transaction. During one single operation, as long
as NCS stay asserted, the register address is automatically increased to allow sequential read/write (or sequential retrieval
of data). Between each different operation though (READ/WRITE/READCHAN), the communication should be restarted.
This is described in Figure 17.

10. Application Information
This section describes in more detail application oriented data.
10.1. Acquisition Setup
Prior to an acquisition, the SX8652 can be setup by writing the control registers. Registers are written by issuing the
register write command. They can be read by issuing the read command. Please refer to the section [9.7].
10.2. Channel Selection
The SX8652 can be setup to start a single channel conversion or to convert several channels in sequence. For a single
conversion, the channel to be converted is determined from the CHAN(2:0) field in the command word (defined in
Table 12).
Several channels defined in RegChanMsk can be acquired sequentially by setting the CHAN(2:0) field to SEQ. The
channels will be sampled in the order X, Y, Z1, Z2, AUX.
10.3. Noise Reduction
A noisy environment can decrease the performance of the controller. For example, an LCD display located just under the
touch screen can adds a lot of noise on the high impedance A/D converter inputs.
10.3.1. POWDLY
In order to perform correct coordinates acquisition properly, some time must be given for the touch screen to reach a
proper level. It is a function of the PCB trace resistance connecting the SX8652 to the touchscreen and also the

capacitance of the touchscreen. We can define tau as the RC time constant. POWDLY duration should be programmed to
10 tau to reach 12 bit accuracy.
Adding a capacitor from the touch screen drivers to ground is a solution to minimize external noise but it increases settling
time and consequently the power consumption.
10.3.2. SETDLY
A best method to filter noise is described in section [6] (Data processing). When filtering is enabled, the channel will be
biased initially during a time of POWDLY for the first conversion. The parameter SETDLY sets the settling time between the
subsequent conversions in a filter set. In most applications, SETDLY can be set to 0. In applications with a high tau and
where accuracy of 1LSB is required SETDLY should be increased.
10.4. AUX Input - 4-wire touchscreen only
The AUX input can be used to sample an analog signal in the range 0-VDD. For system supply by battery, the battery
voltage can be monitored for example. The conversion is done in sequence with the touchscreen acquisition therefore the
sample rate is defined with RegCtrl0 in AUTO mode.
The AUX pin can also triggered conversions. A rising edge, a falling edge or both applied on the AUX pin can trigger the
conversion. This is defined by AUXACQ in RegCtrl1.
This method can be used to sample touchscreen when there is noise-free periods.
10.5. Interrupt Generation
An interrupt (NIRQ=0) will be generated:
During the power-up phase or after a reset
After a touch on the panel being detected in PENDET mode. PENIRQ (bit [6] of RegStat) will be set at the same time.
After completion of a conversion in MANUAL, PENTRIG or AUTO mode. CONVIRQ (bit [7] of RegStat) will be set at the
same time.
The NIRQ will be released and pulled high(NIRQ=1) by the external pull-up resistor:
When the power-up phase is finished
When the host read all channels data that were previously converted by the SX8652 in MANUAL, PENTRIG or AUTO
mode. CONVIRQ will be cleared at the same time.
When the host read the status register in PENDET mode. PENIRQ, will be cleared at the same time.
An active NIRQ (low) needs to be cleared before any new conversions will occur.
10.6. Coordinate Throughput Rate
The coordinate throughput rate depends on the following factors:
The SPI communication time: Tcom
The conversion time: Tconv
1
The coordinate rate is the frequency to get the X, Y, Z1 and Z2 coordinate: CoordRate = ------------------------------T com + T conv
10.6.1. SPI Communication Time
The minimum time to read the channel data in PENTRIG mode is: T com
= ( 8 + 16 × N chan ) × T SPI
The highest throughput will be obtained with a SPI frequency of 5MHz when the host read the channel data as quickly as
possible after the NIRQ falling edge.

10.6.2. Conversion Time
The maximum possible throughput can be estimated with the following equation
T conv = 47 ⋅ T osc + N chan [ POWDLY + SETDLY ( N filt – 1 ) + T osc ( 21N filt + 1 ) ]
with:
Nfilt = {1,3,5,7} based on the order defined for the filter FILT (see Figure 8).
Nchan = {1,2,3,4,5} based on the number of channels defined in RegChanMsk
POWDLY = 0.5us to 18.19ms, settling time as defined in RegCtrl0
SETDLY = 0.5us to 18.19ms, settling time when filtering as defined in RegCtrl2
Tosc is the oscillator period (555ns +/- 15%)
Table 16 gives some examples of Coordinate Rate and Sample Rate for various setting in PENTRIG mode.

10.7. ESD event
In case of ESD event, the chip may reset to protect its internal circuitry. The bit RSTEVENT indicates that a reset event has
occurs.
ESD event may trig the pen detection circuitry. In this case wrong data will be send to the host. To detect this false
coordinates on 4-wire touchscreen, Z1 and Z2 can be read. The conditions Z1<LowThreshold and Z2>HighThreshold
indicate an ESD event. The values LowThreshold and HighThreshold are given for indication only on the table below and
should be fine tune according to the system.
