Low Voltage I/O
TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLLER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
z SAME PINOUT AS ADS7846
The TSC2046 is a next-generation version to the ADS7846
4-wire touch screen controller which supports a low-voltage
I/O interface from 1.5V to 5.25V. The TSC2046 is 100% pincompatible with the existing ADS7846, and will drop into the
same socket. This allows for easy upgrade of current applications to the new version. The TSC2046 also has an onchip 2.5V reference that can be used for the auxiliary input,
battery monitor, and temperature measurement modes. The
reference can also be powered down when not used to
conserve power. The internal reference operates down to
2.7V supply voltage, while monitoring the battery voltage
from 0V to 6V.

The low-power consumption of < 0.75mW typ at 2.7V (reference off), high-speed (up to 125kHz sample rate), and onchip drivers make the TSC2046 an ideal choice for batteryoperated systems such as personal digital assistants (PDAs)
with resistive touch screens, pagers, cellular phones, and
other portable equipment. The TSC2046 is available in
TSSOP-16, QFN-16, and VFBGA-48 packages and is specified over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
+VCC. The value of the reference voltage directly sets the
input range of the converter.
The TSC2046 is a classic successive approximation register
(SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The architecture is
based on capacitive redistribution, which inherently includes
a sample-and-hold function. The converter is fabricated on a
0.6µm CMOS process.
The analog input (X-, Y-, and Z-Position coordinates, auxiliary
input, battery voltage, and chip temperature) to the converter is
provided via a multiplexer. A unique configuration of low onresistance touch panel driver switches allows an unselected
ADC input channel to provide power and the accompanying pin
to provide ground for an external device, such as a touch
screen. By maintaining a differential input to the converter and
a differential reference architecture, it is possible to negate the
error from each touch panel driver switch’s on-resistance (if this
is a source of error for the particular measurement).
The basic operation of the TSC2046 is shown in Figure 1.
The device features an internal 2.5V reference and uses an
external clock. Operation is maintained from a single supply
of 2.7V to 5.25V. The internal reference can be overdriven
with an external, low-impedance source between 1V and
+2.7V to +5V

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the input multiplexer on
the TSC2046, the differential input of the ADC, and the
differential reference of the converter. Table I and Table II
show the relationship between the A2, A1, A0, and SER/DFR
control bits and the configuration of the TSC2046. The
control bits are provided serially via the DIN pin—see the
Digital Interface section of this data sheet for more details.

Level
Shifter
When the converter enters the hold mode, the voltage
difference between the +IN and –IN inputs (as shown in
Figure 2) is captured on the internal capacitor array. The
input current into the analog inputs depends on the conversion rate of the device. During the sample period, the source
must charge the internal sampling capacitor (typically 25pF).
After the capacitor has been 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.

INTERNAL REFERENCE
The TSC2046 has an internal 2.5V voltage reference that can
be turned on or off with the control bit, PD1 (see Table V and
Figure 3). Typically, the internal reference voltage is only used
in the single-ended mode for battery monitoring, temperature
measurement, and for using the auxiliary input. Optimal touch
screen performance is achieved when using the differential
mode. The internal reference voltage of the TSC2046 must be
commanded to be off to maintain compatibility with the
ADS7843. Therefore, after power-up, a write of PD1 = 0 is
required to insure the reference is off (see the Typical Characteristics for power-up time of the reference from powerdown).
is made by connecting the X+ input to the ADC, turning on the
Y+ and Y– drivers, and digitizing the voltage on X+ (Figure 4
shows a block diagram). For this measurement, the resistance
in the X+ lead does not affect the conversion (it does affect the
settling time, but the resistance is usually small enough that
this is not a concern). However, since the resistance between
Y+ and Y– is fairly low, the on-resistance of the Y drivers does
make a small difference. Under the situation outlined so far, it
is not possible to achieve a 0V input or a full-scale input
regardless of where the pointing device is on the touch screen
because some voltage is lost across the internal switches. In
addition, the internal switch resistance is unlikely to track the
resistance of the touch screen, providing an additional source
of error.

REFERENCE INPUT
The voltage difference between +REF and –REF (see Figure 2)
sets the analog input range. The TSC2046 operates with a
reference in the range of 1V to +VCC. There are several critical
items concerning the reference input and its wide voltage range.
As the reference voltage is reduced, the analog voltage weight
of each digital output code is also reduced. This is often referred
to as the LSB (least significant bit) size and is equal to the
reference voltage divided by 4096 in 12-bit mode. Any offset or
gain error inherent in the ADC appears to increase, in terms of
LSB size, as the reference voltage is reduced. For example, if
the offset of a given converter is 2LSBs with a 2.5V reference,
it is typically 5LSBs with a 1V reference. In each case, the
actual offset of the device is the same, 1.22mV. With a lower
reference voltage, more care must be taken to provide a clean
layout including adequate bypassing, a clean (low-noise, lowripple) power supply, a low-noise reference (if an external
reference is used), and a low-noise input signal.
FIGURE 4. Simplified Diagram of Single-Ended Reference
(SER/DFR high, Y switches enabled, X+ is analog input).
This situation can be remedied as shown in Figure 5. By setting
the SER/DFR bit low, the +REF and –REF inputs are connected
directly to Y+ and Y–, respectively, which makes the analog-todigital conversion ratiometric. The result of the conversion is
+VCC
Y+
The voltage into the VREF input directly drives the capacitor
digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) portion of the TSC2046.
Therefore, the input current is very low (typically < 13µA).
There is also a critical item regarding the reference when
making measurements while the switch drivers are ON. For this
discussion, it is useful to consider the basic operation of the
TSC2046, (see Figure 1). This particular application shows
the device being used to digitize a resistive touch screen. A

always a percentage of the external resistance, regardless of
how it changes in relation to the on-resistance of the internal
switches. Note that there is an important consideration regarding
power dissipation when using the ratiometric mode of operation
(see the Power Dissipation section for more details).
As a final note about the differential reference mode, it must
be used with +VCC as the source of the +REF voltage and
cannot be used with VREF. It is possible to use a highprecision reference on VREF and single-ended reference
mode for measurements which do not need to be ratiometric.
In some cases, it is possible to power the converter directly
from a precision reference. Most references can provide
enough power for the TSC2046, but might not be able to
supply enough current for the external load (such as a
resistive touch screen).
offers two modes of operation. The first mode requires
calibration at a known temperature, but only requires a single
reading to predict the ambient temperature. A diode is used
(turned on) during this measurement cycle. The voltage
across the diode is connected through the MUX for digitizing
the forward bias voltage by the ADC with an address of
A2 = 0, A1 = 0, and A0 = 0 (see Table I and Figure 6 for
details). This voltage is typically 600mV at +25°C with a 20µA
current through the diode. The absolute value of this diode
voltage can vary a few millivolts. However, the TC of this
voltage is very consistent at –2.1mV/°C. During the final test
of the end product, the diode voltage would be stored at a
known room temperature, in memory, for calibration purposes by the user. The result is an equivalent temperature
measurement resolution of 0.3°C/LSB (in 12-bit mode).
TOUCH SCREEN SETTLING
+VCC
In some applications, external capacitors may be required
across the touch screen for filtering noise picked up by the
touch screen (e.g., noise generated by the LCD panel or
backlight circuitry). These capacitors provide a low-pass filter
to reduce the noise, but cause a settling time requirement
when the panel is touched that typically shows up as a gain
error. There are several methods for minimizing or eliminating
this issue. The problem is the input and/or reference has not
settled to the final steady-state value prior to the ADC sampling
the input(s) and providing the digital output. Additionally, the
reference voltage may still be changing during the measurement cycle. Option 1 is to stop or slow down the TSC2046
DCLK for the required touch screen settling time. This allows
the input and reference to have stable values for the Acquire
period (3 clock cycles of the TSC2046; see Figure 9). This
works for both the single-ended and the differential modes.
Option 2 is to operate the TSC2046 in the differential mode
only for the touch screen measurements and command the
TSC2046 to remain on (touch screen drivers ON) and not go
into power-down (PD0 = 1). Several conversions are made
depending on the settling time required and the TSC2046 data
rate. Once the required number of conversions have been
made, the processor commands the TSC2046 to go into its
power-down state on the last measurement. This process is
required for X-Position, Y-Position, and Z-Position measurements. Option 3 is to operate in the 15 Clock-per-Conversion
mode, which overlaps the analog-to-digital conversions and
maintains the touch screen drivers on until commanded to stop
by the processor (see Figure 13).
TEMP0
MUX
The second mode does not require a test temperature calibration, but uses a two-measurement method to eliminate the
need for absolute temperature calibration and for achieving
2°C accuracy. This mode requires a second conversion with
an address of A2 = 1, A1 = 1, and A0 = 1, with a 91 times larger
current. The voltage difference between the first and second
conversion using 91 times the bias current is represented by
kT/q • ln (N), where N is the current ratio = 91,
k = Boltzmann’s constant (1.38054 • 10–23 electron volts/
degrees Kelvin), q = the electron charge (1.602189 • 10–19 C),
and T = the temperature in degrees Kelvin. This method can
provide improved absolute temperature measurement over
the first mode at the cost of less resolution (1.6°C/LSB). The
equation for solving for °K is:
°K = q • ∆V/(k • ln (N))
In some applications, such as battery recharging, a measurement of ambient temperature is required. The temperature
measurement technique used in the TSC2046 relies on the
characteristics of a semiconductor junction operating at a
fixed current level. The forward diode voltage (VBE) has a
well-defined characteristic versus temperature. The ambient
temperature can be predicted in applications by knowing the
+25°C value of the VBE voltage and then monitoring the delta
of that voltage as the temperature changes. The TSC2046

∴ °K = 2.573 °K/mV • ∆V
°C = 2.573 • ∆V(mV) – 273°K
NOTE: The bias current for each diode temperature measurement is only on for 3 clock cycles (during the acquisition
mode) and, therefore, does not add any noticeable increase
in power, especially if the temperature measurement only
occurs occasionally.

BATTERY MEASUREMENT
An added feature of the TSC2046 is the ability to monitor
the battery voltage on the other side of the voltage regulator
(DC/DC converter), as shown in Figure 7. The battery voltage
can vary from 0V to 6V, while maintaining the voltage to the
TSC2046 at 2.7V, 3.3V, etc. The input voltage (VBAT) is
divided down by 4 so that a 5.5V battery voltage is represented as 1.375V to the ADC. This simplifies the multiplexer
and control logic. In order to minimize the power consumption, the divider is only on during the sampling period when
A2 = 0, A1 = 1, and A0 = 0 (see Table I for the relationship
between the control bits and configuration of the TSC2046).

PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
Measuring touch pressure can also be done with the TSC2046.
To determine pen or finger touch, the pressure of the touch
needs to be determined. Generally, it is not necessary to have
very high performance for this test, therefore, the 8-bit resolution mode is recommended (however, calculations will be
shown here in the 12-bit resolution mode). There are several
different ways of performing this measurement. The TSC2046
supports two methods. The first method requires knowing the
X-plate resistance, measurement of the X-Position, and two
additional cross panel measurements (Z1 and Z2) of the touch
screen, as shown in Figure 8. Using Equation 2 calculates the
touch resistance:

DIGITAL INTERFACE
See Figure 9 for the typical operation of the TSC2046
digital interface. This diagram assumes that the source of
the digital signals is a microcontroller or digital signal
processor with a basic serial interface. Each communication between the processor and the converter, such as SPI,
SSI, or Microwire™ synchronous serial interface, consists
of eight clock cycles. One complete conversion can be
accomplished with three serial communications for a total
of 24 clock cycles on the DCLK input.
The first eight clock cycles are used to provide the control
byte via the DIN pin. When the converter has enough
information about the following conversion to set the input
multiplexer and reference inputs appropriately, the
converter enters the acquisition (sample) mode and, if needed,
the touch panel drivers are turned on. After three more clock
cycles, the control byte is complete and the converter enters
the conversion mode. At this point, the input sample-andhold goes into the hold mode and the touch panel drivers turn
off (in single-ended mode). The next 12 clock cycles accomplish the actual analog-to-digital conversion. If the conversion is ratiometric (SER/DFR = 0), the drivers are on during
the conversion and a 13th clock cycle is needed for the last
bit of the conversion result. Three more clock cycles are
needed to complete the last byte (DOUT will be low), which
are ignored by the converter.

mode is also referred to as the ratiometric conversion mode
and is preferred for X-Position, Y-Position, and PressureTouch measurements for optimum performance. The reference is derived from the voltage at the switch drivers, which
is almost the same as the voltage to the touch screen. In this
case, a reference voltage is not needed as the reference
voltage to the ADC is the voltage across the touch screen. In
the single-ended mode, the converter reference voltage is
always the difference between the VREF and GND pins (see
Tables I and II, and Figures 2 through 5 for further information).

If X-Position, Y-Position, and Pressure-Touch are measured

external reference. Caution should be observed when using
the single-ended mode such that the input voltage to the
ADC does not exceed the internal reference voltage, especially if the supply voltage is greater than 2.7V.
NOTE: The differential mode can only be used for X-Position,
Y-Position, and Pressure-Touch measurements. All other
measurements require the single-ended mode.

PD0 and PD1—Table V describes the power-down and the
internal reference voltage configurations. The internal reference voltage can be turned on or off independently of the
ADC. This can allow extra time for the internal reference
voltage to settle to the final value prior to making a conversion. Make sure to also allow this extra wake-up time if the
internal reference is powered down. The ADC requires no
wake-up time and can be instantaneously used. Also note
Initiate START—The first bit, the S bit, must always be high
and initiates the start of the control byte. The TSC2046
ignores inputs on the DIN pin until the start bit is detected.
Addressing—The next three bits (A2, A1, and A0) select the
active input channel(s) of the input multiplexer (see Tables I, II,

PENIRQ OUTPUT
The pen-interrupt output function is shown in Figure 10. While
in power-down mode with PD0 = 0, the Y– driver is on and
connects the Y-plane of the touch screen to GND. The
PENIRQ output is connected to the X+ input through two
transmission gates. When the screen is touched, the X+ input
is pulled to ground through the touch screen.
FIGURE 10. PENIRQ Functional Block Diagram.
processor. During the measurement cycle for X-, Y-, and ZPosition, the X+ input is disconnected from the PENIRQ
internal pull-up resistor. This is done to eliminate any leakage current from the internal pull-up resistor through the
touch screen, thus causing no errors.
In most of the TSC2046 models, the internal pullup resistor
value is nominally 50kΩ, but this may vary between 36kΩ
and 67kΩ given process and temperature variations. In
order to assure a logic low of 0.35VDD is presented to the
PENIRQ circuitry, the total resistance between the X+ and
Y- terminals must be less than 21kΩ.
Furthermore, the PENIRQ output is disabled and low during
the measurement cycle for X-, Y-, and Z-Position. The PENIRQ
output is disabled and high during the measurement cycle for
battery monitor, auxiliary input, and chip temperature. If the
last control byte written to the TSC2046 contains PD0 = 1, the
pen-interrupt output function is disabled and is not able to
detect when the screen is touched. In order to re-enable the
pen-interrupt output function under these circumstances, a
control byte needs to be written to the TSC2046 with PD0 = 0.
If the last control byte written to the TSC2046 contains PD0
= 0, the pen-interrupt output function is enabled at the end of
the conversion. The end of the conversion occurs on the
falling edge of DCLK after bit 1 of the converted data is
The -90 version of the TSC2046 uses a nominal 90kΩ pullup
resistor, which allows the total resistance between the X+
and Y- terminals to be as high as 30kΩ. Note that the higher
pullup resistance will cause a slower response time of the
PENIRQ to a screen touch, so user software should take this
into account.
The PENIRQ output goes low due to the current path through
the touch screen to ground, which initiates an interrupt to the

Digital Timing
POWER DISSIPATION
Figures 9 and 12 and Table VI provide detailed timing for the
digital interface of the TSC2046.
There are two major power modes for the TSC2046: full-power
(PD0 = 1) and auto power-down (PD0 = 0). When operating at
full speed and 16 clocks-per-conversion (see Figure 11), the
TSC2046 spends most of the time acquiring or converting.
There is little time for auto power-down, assuming that this
mode is active. Therefore, the difference between full-power
mode and auto power-down is negligible. If the conversion rate

Figure 13 provides the fastest way to clock the TSC2046.
This method does not work with the serial interface of most
microcontrollers and digital signal processors, as they are
generally not capable of providing 15 clock cycles per serial
transfer. However, this method can be used with field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Note that this effectively increases
the maximum conversion rate of the converter beyond the
values given in the specification tables, which assume 16
clock cycles per conversion.
Data Format
The TSC2046 output data is in Straight Binary format, as
shown in Figure 14. This figure shows the ideal output code
for the given input voltage and does not include the effects
of offset, gain, or noise.

The TSC2046 provides an 8-bit conversion mode that can be
used when faster throughput is needed and the digital result
is not as critical. By switching to the 8-bit mode, a conversion
is complete four clock cycles earlier. Not only does this shorten
each conversion by four bits (25% faster throughput), but each
conversion can actually occur at a faster clock rate. This is
because the internal settling time of the TSC2046 is not as
critical—settling to better than 8 bits is all that is needed. The
clock rate can be as much as 50% faster. The faster clock rate
and fewer clock cycles combine to provide a 2x increase in
conversion rate.

is decreased by slowing the frequency of the DCLK input, the
two modes remain approximately equal. However, if the DCLK
frequency is kept at the maximum rate during a conversion but
conversions are done less often, the difference between the
two modes is dramatic.
Figure 15 shows the difference between reducing the DCLK
frequency (scaling DCLK to match the conversion rate) or
maintaining DCLK at the highest frequency and reducing the
number of conversions per second. In the latter case, the
converter spends an increasing percentage of time in powerdown mode (assuming the auto power-down mode is active).
Another important consideration for power dissipation is the
reference mode of the converter. In the single-ended reference mode, the touch panel drivers are ON only when the
analog input voltage is being acquired (see Figure 9 and
Table I). The external device (e.g., a resistive touch screen),
therefore, is only powered during the acquisition period. In
the differential reference mode, the external device must be
powered throughout the acquisition and conversion periods
(see Figure 9). If the conversion rate is high, this could
substantially increase power dissipation.

CS also puts the TSC2046 into power-down mode. When
CS goes high, the TSC2046 immediately goes into powerdown mode and does not complete the current conversion.
The internal reference, however, does not turn off with CS
going high. To turn the reference off, an additional write is
required before CS goes high (PD1 = 0).
When the TSC2046 first powers up, the device draws about
20µA of current until a control byte is written to it with PD0 = 0
to put it into power-down mode. This can be avoided if the
TSC2046 is powered up with CS = 0 and DCLK = IOVDD.
LAYOUT
The following layout suggestions provide the most optimum
performance from the TSC2046. Many portable applications,
however, have conflicting requirements concerning power,
cost, size, and weight. In general, most portable devices
have fairly clean power and grounds because most of the
internal components are very low power. This situation means
less bypassing for the converter power and less concern
regarding grounding. Still, each situation is unique and the
following suggestions should be reviewed carefully.
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the TSC2046 circuitry. The basic SAR
architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the
power supply, reference, ground connections, and digital
inputs that occur just prior to latching the output of the analog
comparator. Therefore, during any single conversion for an
n-bitSAR converter, there are n ‘windows’ in which large
external transient voltages can easily affect the conversion
result. Such glitches can originate from switching power
supplies, nearby digital logic, and high-power devices. The
degree of error in the digital output depends on the reference
voltage, layout, and the exact timing of the external event.
The error can change if the external event changes in time
with respect to the DCLK input.
With this in mind, power to the TSC2046 should be clean
and well bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should
be placed as close to the device as possible. A 1µF to 10µF
capacitor may also be needed if the impedance of the
connection between +VCC or IOVDD and the power supplies
is high. Low-leakage capacitors should be used to minimize
power dissipation through the bypass capacitors when the
TSC2046 is in power-down mode.
A bypass capacitor is generally not needed on the VREF pin
because the internal reference is buffered by an internal op
amp. If an external reference voltage originates from an op amp,
make sure that it can drive any bypass capacitor that is used
without oscillation.
The TSC2046 architecture offers no inherent rejection of
noise or voltage variation in regards to using an external
reference input. This is of particular concern when the reference input is tied to the power supply. Any noise and ripple
from the supply appears directly in the digital results. Whereas
high-frequency noise can be filtered out, voltage variation due
to line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) can be difficult to remove.
The GND pin must be connected to a clean ground point. In
many cases, this is the analog ground. Avoid connections
which are too near the grounding point of a microcontroller or
digital signal processor. If needed, run a ground trace directly
from the converter to the power-supply entry or batteryconnection point. The ideal layout includes an analog ground
plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog
circuitry.
In the specific case of use with a resistive touch screen, care
should be taken with the connection between the converter
and the touch screen. Although resistive touch screens have
fairly low resistance, the interconnection should be as short
and robust as possible. Longer connections are a source of
error, much like the on-resistance of the internal switches.
Likewise, loose connections can be a source of error when
the contact resistance changes with flexing or vibrations.
As indicated previously, noise can be a major source of error
in touch screen applications (e.g., applications that require a
backlit LCD panel). This EMI noise can be coupled through
the LCD panel to the touch screen and cause “flickering” of
the converted data. Several things can be done to reduce
this error, such as using a touch screen with a bottom-side
metal layer connected to ground to shunt the majority of
noise to ground. Additionally, filtering capacitors from Y+,
Y–, X+, and X– pins to ground can also help. Caution should
be observed under these circumstances for settling time of
the touch screen, especially operating in the single-ended
mode and at high data rates.
