OPERATION OVERVIEW
The AK4184A consists of the following blocks:
z 4-wire resistive touch screen controller interface
z 6 columns by 5 rows keypad interface
z 8 GPIO pins
z PWM control circuit for LED bias control
z Successive approximation resister (SAR) A/D converter
z Pen interrupt and key interrupt circuit
z Oscillation circuit
AK4184A interfaces to the host processor through standard SPI™ serial interface.
SPI™ is the trademark of Motorola.
■ Touch Screen A/D Converter
The AK4184A incorporates a 12-bit successive approximation resistor (SAR) A/D converter for determining the
touch position and pressure measurement. The architecture is based on a capacitive redistribution algorithm, and an
internal capacitor array functions as the sample/hold (S/H) circuit. The SAR A/D converter output is in straight binary
format as shown below:

■ Touch Screen Position Detection
XY-coordinate detection (XY-position) from the touch panel is determined by the control command (A1, A0) bits of
the touch screen control command. Coordinate detection is in differential mode. The full scale (ΔVREF) is the
differential voltage between the non-inverting terminal and the inverting terminal of the measured axis (e.g. X-axis
measurement: ΔVREF = VXP – VXN). The input (ΔAIN) of the A/D converter is the voltage between the non-inverting
terminal (VXP) of the non-target axis and the inverting terminal (VXN) of the target axis. (E.g. ΔAIN = (AIN+) - (AIN) = VYP – VXN) The input voltage charges the internal capacitor during the sampling time period. No current flows
into the internal capacitors after the capacitor has been fully charged. The required settling time to charge the internal
capacitor array needs at least 1.5μs. The maximum throughput of the A/D converter is 125kHz. The position from the
touch screen is detected by taking the voltage of one axis when the voltage is supplied between the two terminals of
another axis. At least two A/D conversions are needed to get the two-dimensional (X/Y axis) position.

■ Pen Pressure Measurement
Touch screen pen pressure can be derived from the measurement of the contact resistor between two plates. The
contact resistance depends on the size of the depressed area and the pressure. The area of the spot is proportional to
the contact resistance. This resistance (Rtouch) can be calculated using two different methods.
The first method is when the total resistance of the X-plate sheet is already known. The resistance, Rtouch, is
calculated from the results of three A/D conversions: X-position, Z1-Position, and Z2-Position, using the following
formula:
Rtouch = (Rxplate) * (Xposition/4096) * [(Z2/Z1) – 1]
The second method is when both the resistances of the X-plate and Y-plate are known. The resistance, Rtouch, is
calculated from the results of three A/D conversions: X-position, Y-Position, and Z1-Position, using the following
formula:
Rtouch = (Rxplate * Xposition/4096) * [(4096/Z1) – 1] – Ryplate * [1 – (Yposition/4096)]

■ Keypad Scanner
The AK4184A keypad scanner is designed to interface to a matrix type keypad with 5 rows x 6 columns (30keys or
fewer) to the host controller. The KPMASK1, 2 and KPColumnMask register enable the masking of certain keys or a
whole column of the keypad when any keys less than 30 keys or any columns less than 6 columns are not utilized.
■ Keypad Interrupt Detection
When the AK4184A is in key interrupt enabled mode, C1 ~ C6 pins are designed to output “H” and R1 ~ R5 pins are
designed to pull to GND via Rkey (Rkey=16kΩ typ, Figure 5). When a key is pressed a related R1 ~ R5 pins go to “H”
and the KEYIRQN pin goes “L”. The KEYIRQN pin returns “H” after key press scan is completed. The KEYIRQN
pin does not go “L” again until the host reads the keypad read register (KPDATA1 or KPDATA2).
■ Keypad Scan Data Read
The AK4184A starts scanning key condition in sequence and writes each keypad state to the registers after a keypress is detected. First the C1 pin goes to “H” (Scan Output1) and the C2 ~ C6 pins are in Hi-Z state. Certain R1 ~ R5
pins are connected to C1 and pulled “H”. The R1 ~ R5 pins return to “L” after the key-press is released. The
AK4184A reads R1 ~ R5 pins level (Sense Input 1 through 5) and loads the keypad data into the register. When two
keys are pressed simultaneously, the associated row pins go “H” at the same time. Then the AK4184A C2 pin goes to
“H” (Scan Output2), and reads and loads the R1 ~ R5 pin levels into the register (Sense Input 1 through 5). The same
sequence as Scan Output 1 repeats up to Scan Output 6. The AK4184A makes this Scan Output and Sense Input
pattern and loads the keypad-data into the register for unmasked columns.
Debounce key scan performs a series of the Scan Output/ Sense Input at the end of the debounce time interval, then
the AK4184A loads the key pad data into the resister. μ-Processor starts to read the data register after confirming if
the keypad scan completed. New keypad scan does not repeat again until the Host reads the keypad data.

■ Digital Interface
The AK4184A supports a SPI bus system. The Host processor starts to communicate with the serial clock. The digital
interface can be operated from 1.6V, which enables connecting with a low voltage host controller. The full scale level
of the digital I/O voltage is specified IOVDD.

Figure 8. Typical peripheral connection diagram
The AK4184A is controlled by reading from and writing to registers through the 4-wire serial interface (CSN, SCLK,
DIN, and DOUT pins). The data is composed of control command, control data, and readout data. The transmitter
sends each bit on the falling edge of the SCLK pin and the receiver latches on the rising edge of SCLK. The first 16
bits after the falling edge of the CSN pin contains the control command followed by 16 bits of control data during the
write operation, or 16 bits of readout data during the read operation before the rising edge of the CSN. This completes
a write or read operation. The max clock speed of the SCLK pin is 5MHz. The register value is reset by pulling
RESETN pin to “L”.
The control command layout is shown in Table 2. The upper 8-bit word is the touch screen control command. The
next lower 8-bits [D7:D0] are filled with “0” when accessing the touch screen block. The lower 8 bit word is
composed of other block control commands, which specify control of the Keypad, GPIO, and PWM output. When
accessing touch panel functions, the lower 8-bit word [D7:D0] is filled with “0” data. When accessing Keypad, GPIO,
or PWM control, the upper 8-bit word [D15:D8] is filled with “0” data.
This command begins with the S bit which specifies access to the touch screen block. The S bit must be set to “1”.
The touch screen command begins with the A1:A0 bits, which select the measurement axis (X, Y, and Z). The PD bit
specifies power down control of the touch screen driver and the A/D converter. When controlling other blocks, the
first bit is a W/R bit, which specifies the direction of data flow on the bus. The next bit specifies the page bit of the
register, which is the data register and the control register as shown in Table 3. The data of the next 6 bits are the
address specified in the register. The page and address of the register is shown in Table 4. The next 16 bits are data
that are read from or written to the register in Table 4. 32 SCLK cycles are necessary for both read and write
operations.

[AK4184A]
■ System Reset
Upon power-up, all blocks of the AK4184A must be reset by the RESETN pin = “L”. This ensures that all internal
registers are reset to their initial values (0000H). The touch screen control data is set to X-measurement and auto
driver off (A1 bit=A0 bit = PD bit=“0”). Internal state is fixed and the pen interrupt function is enabled. If the AVDD
and IOVDD are supplied separately, the power up sequence is not critical.
■ Touch Screen Control Command
The control command (4 bits) provided to the AK4184A via DIN is shown in Table 5. This command includes a start
bit, channel selection of ADC input, power-down mode of ADC and the next 12bits (written by “0” data). The
AK4184A latches the serial command on the rising edge of SCLK. Detail information regarding the bit order,
function, status of the driver switch, ADC input and reference voltage are shown in Table 6 and Table 7.

■ Power-down Control
The power-down state of A/D converter and the touch screen driver switches is controlled by the PD bit.
PD PENIRQN
Function
0
Enabled
Auto Driver Power Off Mode.
When PD bit is “0”, the touch screen driver switches and the A/D converter are
automatically powered up at the start of sampling, and moves to power- down state
automatically at the rising edge of CSN. The AK4184A is always powered down when
CSN is “H”. All touch screen driver switches except for the YN switch are turned off,
and relative pins are in open state. Only the YN driver switch is turned ON, and the
YN pin is forced to ground. The pen interrupt function is enabled except when CSN is
“L”. See “„ Pen Interrupt” for detail.
1
Disabled
ADC ON Mode
When PD bit is “1”, the touch screen driver switches and the A/D converter are always
turned ON. The pen interrupt function is disabled and the PENIRQN pin is always
“H”, regardless of the pen touch. The touch panel driver turns on before sampling time
starts so that the touch panel voltage fed into A/D converter is stable in this mode.
The sampling time starts at the falling edge of CSN this is effective if more settling
time is required to suppress the electrical bouncing of touch plate.
Table 8. Power-down Control
A/D converter is power-down both when the CSN pin is “H” and controlling with keypad scanner, GPIO block, PWM
controller.
A/D converter is power-up when issues touch panel command at the CSN pin is “L”.

[AK4184A]
■ Touch Screen Control Sequence
The timing of sampling and A/D conversion is shown in Figure 8. The AK4184A is controlled through a standard SPI
serial interface (CSN, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT pins). BUSY and DOUT are in Hi-Z state when CSN = “H”. The
AK4184A latches the 4-bit control word serially via DIN on the rising edge of SCLK. DIN must be low until CSN is
“H”. The S bit must be “1”.
The sampling (Sampling1 or Sampling2) time for the A/D converter depends on the PD bit. The SAR-A/D conversion
is synchronized with SCLK. The A/D conversion occurs between the falling edge of the sixth SCLK and the 20th
SCLK, followed by a 12-bit serial data output. Sampling time is determined by the PD bit.
If a series of the measurements are the same and the previous PD bit is “0”, sampling occurs between the falling edge
of the third SCLK and the sixth SCLK (Sampling2). When the previous PD bit is “1”, sampling occurs between the
falling edge of CSN to the falling edge of the sixth SCLK (Sampling1+Sampling2). This is a longer sampling time.
If the measurements switch to another axis, the measurement axis is determined by the current setting of the [A1, A0]
bits, irrespective of the PD bit setting. Even through the previous PD bit is “1”, the valid sampling time is Sampling2
as shown in Figure 9.
Sampling time depends on SCLK and the source impedance. When the A/D input voltage does not reach the final
voltage during Sampling2, continue to measure the same axis with the PD bit = “1” or use a slower SCLK in order to
increase the settling time.
The BUSY pin stays “H” from beginning of the A/D conversion to the beginning of MSV data output (20th falling
edge of SCLK). BUSY is “L” for the other period. The AK4184A outputs A/D data with MSB first via DOUT from
the rising edge of the 21st SCLK.

[AK4184A]
■ Pen Interrupt
The AK4184A has a pen interrupt function to detect a pen touch. The pen interrupt function is enabled during powerdown state. The YN pin is connected to GND during the pen interrupt enabled state. The XP pin is pulled up via an
internal resistor (Ri), typically 50kΩ. If the touch plate is pressed by a pen, the current flows via <AVDD> - <Ri> <XP> - <the plates> - <YN>- <GND>. The resistance of the plate is generally several hundreds, and PENIRQN pin
is forced to a “L” level. If the pen is released, the PENIRQN pin returns to a “H” level because two plates are
disconnected, and the current doesn’t flow between the two plates. The PENIRQN pin is a buffer type. The “H” level
is specified by IOVDD.
The operation of PENIRQN is related to PD bit. The pen interrupt function is disabled and stays “H” irrespective of
the pen touch when the PD bit is “1”. When the PD bit is “0”, the PENIRQN pin is forced “H” from the falling edge
of the sixth SCLK to the rising edge of CSN. The pen interrupt function is valid when the CSN pin is “H”. The
PENIRQN pin stays low when the touch panel is pressed, and stays high when the touch panel is not pressed.
The pen interrupt function is determined by the present PD bit setting when the host writes to or reads from the
register other than the pen touch block.
The touch panel block is able to power down when the TPPD bit is “1” (Table 25). All the touch panel drivers turn off
in this state and the pen interrupt function is not valid. The current through the touch screen does not flow even
through the panel is pressed.

[AK4184A]
■ Keypad Scanner
The AK4184A has a keypad interface which supports maximum Keypad matrix of six columns by five rows.
■ Keypad Measurement Mode
Setting the KST1 bit = “0” (default) enables the AK4184A to monitor key-press detection and move to key pad
measurement mode after keypad detection. The AK4184A provides two different keypad measurement modes by
setting the KST0 bit: host scan mode and key press scan mode.
■ Host Scan Mode
When the KST0 bit is “1” the mode is host scan mode, pressing the keypad down makes the AK4184A outputs
a keypad interrupt signal (KEYIRQN pin goes low), and then the AK4184A move to the state which waits for
a KPScanInitiate (Page1, Address 04H) command from host. The internal oscillator turns off until receiving
this command, and the AK4184A does not execute key scan. Keypad scan begin when receiving a
KPScanInitiate command. Once receiving this command, the AK4184A turns on the internal oscillator and
starts keypad debounce scan.
■ Key press Scan Mode
When the KST0 bit is “0” key press scan mode is enabled. Pressing the keypad down causes the AK4184A to
output a keypad interrupt signal (KEYIRQN pin goes low) and the AK4184A starts a keypad debounce scan
automatically.
The keypad data register (KPDATA1, KPDATA2) is revised after completing a debounce scan. The KEYIQRN pin
goes to “H” and the AK4184A goes to hold state. Key press detect function is disabled during the hold time. When the
host processor reads the keypad data register during hold time, the hold time counter is reset and restarted after being
read by the host processor. Key press detection is not valid until the host processor reads the keypad data register after
hold time is passed. Reading a keypad date is determined by accessing KPDATA1, KPDATA2 register. Reading the
KPDATA1 or KPDATA2 registers is required when key press interrupts of the AK4184A become valid. The hold time
and the debounce time are controlled through the keypad control register (KEY).

■ Keypad Control Register (PAGE 1)
The keypad scanner controller is controlled by the Keypad Control register (Table 12), Keypad Mask register (Table
17 ) and Keypad Column register (Table 19). This register controls the key press interrupt (host scan mode or key-press
scan mode), key-press debounce time interval and hold time. The Keypad Mask register is valid for each key masked
after debounce key scan. The Keypad Column Mask register stops a key scan of a selected key column and is disabled
for the detection of key press.

■ Keypad Scan Initiate Command (PAGE 1)
When a key is pressed with the KST0 bit = “1”, the AK4184A does not start debounce and key scan, the Host
Controller sends a keypad scan initiate command to the AK4184A. After receiving the command, the AK4184A starts
a debounce scan, and the Host Controller can then read the data [D15:D0] from the keypad data register (KPDATA1,
KPDATA2). When receiving the command the Keypad Data Resister (KPDATA1, KPDATA2) is reset to 0000H.

■ Keypad Data Register (PAGE 0)
The keypad data register format is shown below. KD1, KD2, KD3, KS1, KS2 and KS3 represent the number of keys
pressed. Table 24 shows a configuration of a 30-key keypad. Data of KD1, KD2, KD3, KS1, KS2 and KS3 returned
as zero represents no key pressed. The AK4184A keypad scanner can be read out up to three keys simultaneously.
The AK4184A key pad scanner writes the number of keys pressed in the keypad data register. For example: When
two keys are pressed at the same time, the contents of the keypad register are filled with KD1, KD2, KS1, and KS2.
KD3 and KS3 are the zero data. When more than four keys are pressed at the same time, error bits (DERR bit and
SERR bit) are set to “1” and KD1, KD2, KD3, KS1, KS2, and KS3 data are set to 31.
The keypad data can be read out either from the KPDATA1 register or the KPDATA2 register. The KPDATA1
register represents the keypad data masked by the keypad column mask register. KPDATA2 register represents the
keypad data masked by both the keypad column mask register and the keypad mask register. KPDATA1 and
KPDATA2 register are cleared after these resisters are read.

■ GPIO controller
The AK4184A has eight ports [GP0:GP7] which can be configured as inputs or outputs for general purpose. Figure 15
shows a block diagram of a single GPIO pin. The GPIO Pin Direction register (GPDR) is used to program the GPIO
pins as input or output. For a pin configured as output, use the GPIO pin pull-up register (GPPU) to set the pin type to
either Open-Drain or CMOS, and use the GPIO Set/ Clear register (GPSCR) to set a pin level high or low.
To validate the state of GP0 ~ GP7 pins, write to the GPIO pin state register (GPSR) to program the pin state as pulldown or Hi-Z and read the GPIO Pin Level register (GPLR) at any time even if the pin is configured as an output. The
GPIO pin state is determined by these registers before writing and reading the pin level.
The pin state set by default input, pull-down.

■ LED contrast control
The AK4184A contains an oscillator and a PWM control circuit for controlling the brightness of an LED by
modulating the “on” time. The brightness is determined by the PWM basic frequency (fpwm) and duty cycles. The
PWM block divides the internal oscillator frequency (fosc) and modulates this output. The range of PWM frequency
(fpwm) is 80Hz minimum. The modulating range is provided by 32 duty cycle steps from the PWM logic controller.
The output control is determined by the PACT bit. The duty cycle width of the PWM frequency is controlled by the
BRV and DIV bits. The PWM signal stays constant on normal mode until duty cycle, PWM frequency changed.
The output type is possible to select either CMOS or Open Drain, set by the LPU bit. After reset, the PWM block is in
power-down state and the BRCONT pin outputs a “L” level.

■ Power Down Register (PAGE 1)
The power down register determines the power down control of the keypad scanner block and touch screen block. The
power down state in the touch screen block (TPPD bit = “1”) holds all of the touch panel driver switches off, so that
current cannot flow through the touch panel. The pen interrupt function is disabled and the PENIRQN pin always
stays “H”, effective for reducing power consumption of the touch screen block.
A power down state in the keypad scanner block (KPPD bit = “1”) holds all the C1 ~ C6 pins outputs “L”. By setting
this bit = “1” stops key scanning and clears the keypad data register (KPDATA1, KPDATA2). The keypad function is
restored after the keypad scanner block is powered up. The keypad interrupt is disabled at power-down.
The power down control register format is shown here.

Note:
- VSS1 and VSS2 of the AK4184A must be distributed separately from the ground of external controllers.
- Do not allow digital input pins (CSN, SCLK, DIN pins) to float.
- The DOUT pin is floating except when communicating with the host processor. A 100kΩ pull-down or
pull-up register must be connected.
Figure 18. Typical connection diagram
■ Attention to the PCB wiring
The AK4184A requires careful attention to power and grounding. VSS1, VSS2 must be connected to analog ground
system analog ground and digital ground must be connected together as close as possible to where the supplies are
brought onto the printed circuit board. Decoupling capacitors must be as close to the AK4184A as possible, with the
small value ceramic capacitor being the closest.
When an EMI source is close to the touch panel analog signal line, EMI noise reduces analog performance
characteristics. Noise canceling capacitors as close as possible to each pin (XP, XN, YP, YN pins) of the AK4184A
should be connected to avoid this noise. (Figure 18) In addition, ESD protection devices should be mounted on the
printed circuit board for countermeasure for surge and static electricity on the touch panel, GPIO and keypad signal
lines.
