„ A/D Converter for Touch Screen
The AK4182A incorporates a 12-bit successive approximation resistor (SAR) A/D converter for position measurement,
temperature, and battery voltage. The architecture is based on capacitive redistribution algorithm, and an internal capacitor array
functions as the sample/hold (S/H) circuit.
The SAR A/D converter output is a straight binary format as shown below:
Input Voltage
Output Code
FFFH
(∆VREF-1.5LSB)~ ∆VREF
FFEH
(∆VREF-2.5LSB) ~ (∆VREF-1.5LSB)
----------------0.5LSB ~ 1.5LSB
001H
0 ~ 0.5LSB
000H
∆VREF: (VREF+) – (VREF-)
Table 1 Output Code
The full scale (∆VREF) of the A/D converter depends on the input mode. The AK4182A is controlled by the 8 bit serial command
on DIN.
„ Analog Inputs
Analog input is selected via the A2, A1, A0 and SER/ DFR bits in the control register. If the analog inputs are selected to the X
or Y-axis, SER/ DFR = “0”, which means differential mode, the full scale (∆VREF) is the differential voltage between the noninverting terminal and the inverting terminal of the measured axis (e.g. X-axis measurement :(XP) – (XN)). Analog non-inverting
input to A/D converter is the non-inverting terminal of the non-measured axis while the inverting input is the inverting terminal of
the measured axis. If the SER/ DFR bit is set to “1” which means single-ended mode, the full scale of A/D converter (∆VREF)
is the internal reference voltage or external reference voltage. Note that SER/ DFR bit should be set to”0” if IN2 is selected as
analog input; nevertheless, IN2 is actually measured by single-ended mode.
Tracking time is the period from the falling edge of 5th DCLK to that of 8th DCLK after the detection of START bit during
CSN=”L”.
The required settling time to charge the internal capacitor array depends on the source impedance (Rin). If the source impedance is
600Ω, the settling time needs at least 1.428µs (3tDCLKat 2.1MHz). The maximum throughput of A/D converter is 125 kHz.
If the source impedance of analog input or battery input is larger than 600Ω, longer tracking time is required.
„ The Position Detection of Touch Screen
The position on 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.

Figure 2 Axis Measurement
The differential mode position detection is typically more accurate than the single-ended mode. As the full scale of single-ended
mode is fixed to the internal (or external) reference voltage, input voltage may exceed the full-scale reference voltage. This
problem does not occur in differential mode. In addition to this, the differential mode is less influenced by power supply voltage
variation due to the ratio-metric measurement.
However, note that the touch screen driver switch is still ON and the current flows even for the A/D conversion time. On the other
hand, the touch screen driver switch is ON only for the tracking time, 3tDCLK. From the point of power consumption, singleended mode has more advantages. However the differential mode is generally used to get more accurate measurement in position
detecting.
„ The Pen Pressure Measurement
The 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 that when the total resistance of the X-plate sheet is already known. The resistance, Rtouch, is calculated from
the results of three conversions, X-position, Z1-Position, and Z2-Position, and then using the following formula:
Rtouch = (Rxplate) * (Xposition/4096) * [(Z2/Z1) – 1]
The second method is that when both the resistances of the X-plate and Y-plate are known. The resistance, Rtouch, is calculated
from the results of three conversions, X-position, Y-Position, and Z1-Position, and then using the following formula:
Rtouch = (Rxplate*Xposition/4096)*[(4096/Z1) – 1] – Ryplate*[1 – (Yposition/4096)]

„ Voltage Reference
The AK4182A has an internal 2.5V voltage reference. This reference can be turned ON when PD1 = “1”, and OFF when PD1 =
“0”. This reference is used in the single-ended mode for the battery monitoring, temperature measurement, or for auxiliary input.
A 0.1µF or larger capacitor should be connected for stable operation of the VREF circuit. Settling time depends on this external
capacitance, but 500µs or longer time is required if the external capacitance is 0.1µF.
If an external voltage reference is used, PD1 bit should be set to “0”.
VCC should be more than 2.7V in order to be stable internal output reference when PD1 = “1” (internal voltage reference).
„ Battery Measurement
The AK4182A can directly measure the battery voltage up to 5V while the AK4182A operates at 2.2V to 3.6V. The VBAT input
voltage is divided internally by the resistance of R1 (7.5kΩ) and R2 (2.5kΩ) and applied to the input of AD converter (AIN+) as
shown in Figure 4. Minimum 5µs is required as tracking time.

Figure 5 Temperature Measurement
As the AK4182A has two different fixed current circuits and a diode (temperature sensor), the temperature can be measured by
using two different methods.
The first method needs two conversions, but can derive the temperature directly without knowing the voltage at a specific
temperature.
From equation <1>
(iD2 / iD1) = exp {(v(91 x I) - v(I))/VT}
N = (iD2 / iD1) = 91 (ratio of the current)
T°C = (∆Vbe * q)/(k * ln N) – 273
∆Vbe = V (91 x I) – V (I)
T°C = 2.573×103 × ∆Vbe – 273
The second method needs only one conversion as the following equation, but requires knowing the junction voltage at the specific
temperature.
T = (k/q)* vD/ln (iD/I0)

[AK4182A]
„ Power on Sequence
It is recommended that the control command is sent to fix the internal register value to be 00H when first power up. This initiates
all registers such as A2-0 bit, MODE bit, SER/DFR bit, PD1 bit and PD0 bit. The sequence is that 1) Power On with CSN = “L” or
“H” then CSN = “H”. 2) Send control command after CSN = “L”. 3) CSN = “H” again. Once sending command to fix the internal
register after first power up, the state of AK4182A is held on the known-condition of state as last command issued.
„ Sleep mode
AK4182A supports sleep mode that enables touch panel to put open state and disables pen interrupt function. AK4182A goes into
sleep mode when AK4182A gets the sleep control command. The selection of the Sleep mode is set by “MODE” bit. The state of
both the output of PENIRQN pin and the connection with touch panel interface (XP, YP, XN, and YN) are the following Table 3.
AK4182A goes into the sleep mode with the power-down mode set by PD1, PD0 (refer to Table 4).
AK4182A keeps the sleep mode until it receives next control command.

Table 3 Sleep Command Setting
The timing of going into the Sleep mode is the rising edge of the 8th DCLK. This sleep mode is available when CSN = “H”.
AK4182A goes into normal operation out of sleep mode when the normal control command receives. The initial state after power
up is in a normal state.
„ Power-down Control
Power-down is controlled by two bits, PD0 bit and PD1 bit. The power-down state of internal voltage reference is controlled by
PD1 bit, and is updated at the rising edge of 7th DCLK with CSN = “L”.
The power-down state of A/D converter, and touch screen driver switches is controlled by PD0 bit, and is updated at the rising
edge of 8th DCLK with CSN = “L”.
If PD0 bit is set to “1”, the state of the driver switches is maintained until the 5th DCLK↑ of the next conversion if CSN is “L”. If
CSN is “H”, all driver switches except for YN switch switches are turned off and are open states. Only YN driver switch is turned
ON and YN pin is forced to the ground in this case.

A/D converter is automatically powered up at the start of the conversion, and goes to power- down
state automatically at the end of the conversion. And the AK4182A is always powered down at this
mode if CSN= “H”. All touch screen driver switches except for YN switch are turned off and
relative pins are open state. Only YN driver switch is turned ON and YN pin is forced to the ground
in this case. PEN interrupt function is enabled except for the tracking time and conversion time even
CSN= “L”. Please see “„ PEN Interrupt” for the detail. The internal voltage reference is always
power-down state.
ADC ON Mode
A/D converter is always powered up while CSN = “L”. The internal voltage reference is always
power-down state. If X-axis or Y-axis is selected as analog input, touch screen driver switches are
always turned ON and the current flows through the touch plate if CSN= “L”. This is effective if
more settling time is required to suppress the electrical bouncing of touch plate.
VREF ON Mode
The internal voltage reference is always powered up regardless of CSN state. ADC is auto powerdown mode. PEN interrupt function is enabled at all the period except for the period from the
5DCLK↓ to 20DCLK↓ regardless of CSN state.
ADC and VREF ON Mode
A/D converter and the internal voltage reference is power-up state
PEN interrupt function is disabled and PENIRQN is forced to “H” state if CSN= “H”. The behavior
of PENIRQN is the same as “ADC ON Mode”

BUSY and DOUT goes to “L” from Hi-Z state at the falling edge of CSN. The AK4182A latches the 8bit control word serially via
DIN at the rising edge of DCLK. As the AK4182A starts the command decoding at the first “H” bit after CSN= “↓”, MSB (S bit)
of the command must be “H”.
Tracking time is the period from the falling edge of 5th DCLK to the falling edge of 8th DCLK. If SER/ DFR = “1”, PD0= “0”,
and if analog input is X-axis or Y-axis (the measurement is the pen position or pen pressure), the touch screen driver switches are
turned ON for this 3DCLK period. If SER/ DFR = “0”, the switches are turned ON for the period from 5DCLK↓ to 20 DCLK↓.
BUSY is “H” for one DCLK period, which is from 8DCLK↓ to 9DCLK↓. BUSY is “L” for other period.
The AK4182A outputs A/D data with MSB first via DOUT from the falling edge of 9th DCLK.
DIN must keep low state for minimum 7 DCLK times (9th-15th DCLK) after command is sent on the DIN.
The AK4182A can output one A/D data per 15 DCLK clock cycles for the fastest way as shown in the dotted line of the Figure 7.

„ Pen Interrupt
The AK4182A has pen interrupt function to detect the pen touch. Pen interrupt function is enabled at power-down state. YN pin is
connected to GND at the PEN interrupt enabled state. And XP pin is pulled up via an internal resistor (Ri), typically 50kΩ. If
touch plate is pressed by pen, the current flows via <VCC> – <Ri> – <XP> –<the plates> - <YN>- <GND>. The resistance of the
plate is generally 1K Ω or less, PENIRQN is forced to “L” level. If the pen is released, PENIRQN returns “H” level because two
plates are disconnected, and the current doesn’t flow via two plates.
If the plate is touched with pen or finger, PENIRQN goes to “L” at CSN = “H” unless previous command issued with both PD1
and PD0 is “1”. PENIRQN is disabled and keeps “H” level regardless of the touched/non-touched state if CSN = “H”.
The operation of PENIRQN is related to PD0 bit. PD0 bit is updated at the rising edge of 8th DCLK (please see “„ Power-down
Control” for the detail). Therefore, the last PD0 bit is valid until this timing. (The internal voltage reference is controlled by only
PD1 bit regardless of PD0 bit and CSN state.)
i.
The period from CSN↓ to the 5th DCLK.
The behavior of PENIRQN is related to the combination of the last selected analog input channel, and the last PD0 bit. If the last
PD0 bit was set to “0”, PENIRQN is “H” while the plate is not pressed and “L while the plate is pressed regardless of the last
analog input. If the last PD0 bit was set to “1”, the last analog input decides the level of PENIRQN. If the last analog input
channel is ether X-axis or Y-axis, PENIRQN is “L” for all the time in this period regardless of the touched/non-touched state. On
the other hand, if the last analog input is temperature, VBAT, or auxiliary inputs, PENIRQN is “H” for all the time in this period
regardless of the touched/non-touched state.
ii.
The period from the 5th DCLK↓ to the 20th DCLK↓ on CSN = “L"
The behavior of PENIRQN is related to the selected analog input. If the X-axis or Y-axis is selected as analog input, PENIRQN
is forced to “L” regardless of the touched/non-touched state. If the temperature, VBAT, or auxiliary inputs is selected,
PENIRQN is forced to “H” regardless of the touched/non-touched state.
iii.
The period from the 20th DCLK↓ to CSN↑
The behavior of PENIRQN is related to the combination of the current selected analog input channel, and the current PD0 bit.
If the current PD0 bit is set to “0”, PENIRQN is “H” while the plate is not pressed and “L while the plate is pressed regardless
of the current selected analog input. If the current PD0 bit is set to “1”, the current analog input decides the operation of
PENIRQN. If the current analog input channel is ether X-axis or Y-axis, PENIRQN is “L” for all the time in this period
regardless of the touched/non-touched state. On the other hand, if the current analog input is temperature, VBAT, or auxiliary
inputs, PENIRQN is “H” for all the time in this period regardless of the touched/non-touched state.
It is recommended that the micro controller mask the pseudo-interrupts while the control command is issued or A/D data is output.
