Rev. B | Page 12 of 20 02144-B-019 AD7843 Touch Screen Settling switches that supply the external touch screen can be turned off once the acquisition is complete, resulting in a power saving. In some applications, external capacitors could be required However, the on resistance of the Y drivers affects the input across the touch screen to filter noise associated with it, for voltage that can be acquired. The full touch screen resistance example, noise generated by the LCD panel or backlight may be in the order of 200 Ω to 900 Ω, depending on the manu- circuitry. The value of these capacitors causes a settling time facturer. Therefore if the on resistance of the switches is requirement when the panel is touched. The settling time approximately 6 Ω, true full-scale and zero-scale voltages cannot typically appears as a gain error. There are several methods for be acquired regardless of where the pen/stylus is on the touch minimizing or eliminating this issue. The problem could be that screen. Note that the minimum touch screen resistance the input signal, reference, or both have not settled to their final recommended for use with the AD7843 is approximately 70 Ω. value before the sampling instant of the ADC. Additionally, the +V CC reference voltage could still be changing during the conversion cycle. One option is to stop, or slow down the DCLK for the Y+ required touch screen settling time. This allows the input and V REF reference to stabilize for the acquisition time, which resolves the REF+ X+ IN+ issue for both single-ended and differential modes. IN+ ADC CORE REF– IN– The other option is to operate the AD7843 in differential mode Y– only for the touch screen and to program the AD7843 to keep the touch screen drivers on and not go into power-down (PD0 GND = PD1 = 1). Several conversions might be required, depending Figure 21. Single-Ended Reference Mode (SER/DFR = 1) on the settling time required and the AD7843 data rate. Once the required number of conversions are made, the AD7843 can In this mode of operation, therefore, some voltage is likely to be then be placed into a power-down state on the last lost across the internal switches and, in addition to this, it is measurement. The last method is to use the 15 DCLK cycle unlikely that the internal switch resistance will track the resis- mode, which maintains the touch screen drivers on until it is tance of the touch screen over temperature and supply, providing commanded to stop by the processor. an additional source of error. Reference Input DFR The alternative to this situation is to set the SER/ bit low. If The voltage difference between +REF and −REF (see Figure 19) one again considers making a Y-coordinate measurement, but sets the analog input range. The AD7843 operates with a refer- now the +REF and −REF nodes of the ADC are connected . The voltage into the V ence input in the range of 1 V to VCC REF directly to the Y+ and Y− pins, this means the analog-to-digital input is not buffered and directly drives the capacitor DAC conversion is ratiometric. The result of the conversion is always portion of the AD7843. Figure 20 shows the reference input a percentage of the external resistance, independent of how it circuitry. Typically, the input current is 8 µA with VREF = 2.5 V could change with respect to the on resistance of the internal and fSAMPLE = 125 kHz. This value varies by a few microamps, switches.

THROUGHPUT RATE 1000 By using the power-down options on the AD7843 when not converting, the average power consumption of the device f = 16× f DCLK SAMPLE decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 23 shows how, as the throughput rate is reduced while maintaining the DCLK 100 frequency at 2 MHz, the device remains in its power-down state longer and the average current consumption over time drops accordingly. f = 2MHz DCLK 10 For example, if the AD7843 is operated in a 24 DCLK continuous sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS V = 2.7V CC and a SCLK of 2 MHz, and the device is placed in the power- T = –40°C TO +95°C A down mode between conversions, (PD0, PD1 = 0, 0), the current 1 consumption is calculated as follows. The power dissipation 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 during normal operation is typically 210 µA (V = 2.7 V). The CC THROUGHPUT (kSPS) power-up time of the ADC is instantaneous, so when the part is Figure 23. Supply Current vs. Throughput (µA) converting, it consumes 210 µA. In this mode of operation, the part powers up on the fourth falling edge of DCLK after the start bit is recognized. It goes back into power-down at the end of conversion on the 20th falling edge of DCLK. This means the part consumes 210 µA for 16 DCLK cycles only, 8 µs, during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the cycle time is 100 µs and the average power dissipated during each cycle is (8/100) × (210 µA) = 16.8 µA. Table 7. Power Management Options PD1 PD0 PENIRQ Description 0 0 Enabled This configuration results in power-down of the device between conversions. The AD7843 only powers down between conversions. Once PD1 and PD0 are set to 0, 0, the conversion is performed first, and the AD7843 powers down upon completion of that conversion. At the start of the next conversion, the ADC instantly powers up to full power. This means there is no need for additional delays to ensure full operation, and the very first conversion is valid. The Y− switch is on while in power-down. 0 1 Disabled This configuration results in the same behavior as when PD1 and PD0 have been programmed with 0, 0, except that PENIRQ is disabled. The Y− switch is off while in power-down. 1 0 Enabled This configuration results in keeping the AD7843 permanently powered up with PENIRQ enabled. 1 1 Disabled This configuration results in keeping the AD7843 always powered up with PENIRQ disabled.

This cycles, as shown in Figure 26. This timing diagram also allows mode allows a faster throughput rate to be achieved, assuming for the possibility of communication with other serial peripherals 8-bit resolution is sufficient. When using the 8-bit mode, a between each (eight DCLK) byte transfer between the processor conversion is complete four clock cycles earlier than in the and the converter. However, the conversion must be completed 12-bit mode. This could be used with serial interfaces that within a short enough time frame to avoid capacitive droop provide 12 clock transfers, or two conversions could be effects that could distort the conversion result. It should also be completed with three 8-clock transfers. The throughput rate noted that the AD7843 is fully powered while other serial increases by 25% as a result of the shorter conversion cycle, but communications are taking place between byte transfers. the conversion itself can occur at a faster clock rate because the internal settling time of the AD7843 is not as critical because Fifteen Clocks per Cycle settling to 8 bits is all that is required. The clock rate can be as Figure 27 shows the fastest way to clock the AD7843. This much as 50% faster. The faster clock rate and fewer clock cycles scheme does not work with most microcontrollers or DSPs combine to provide double the conversion rate. because, in general, they are not capable of generating a 15-clock-cycle-per-serial transfer. However, some DSPs allow the number of clocks per cycle to be programmed; this method could also be used with FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) or ASICs (application specific integrated circuits). As in the 16-clocks-per-cycle case, the control bits for the next conversion are overlapped with the current conversion to allow a conversion every 15 DCLK cycles, using 12 DCLKs to perform the conversion and three DCLKs to acquire the analog input. This effectively increases the throughput rate of the AD7843 beyond that used for the specifications that are tested using 16 DCLKs per cycle, and DCLK = 2 MHz.
