DESCRIPTION
The ScreenCoder
TM
PS2 is a high-
performance IC that interfaces any
5-wire resistive touch screen to the
standard PS/2 mouse port. Low-
power and tiny, the single IC is ideal
for industrial & medical systems,
portables and interactive kiosks. It
offers an advanced algorithm for
enhanced motion control as well as
an extra port for hot-plug
connection of an external PS/2
pointing device. Both the touch
screen and the external device can
be operated oncurrently without any
penalty.
The UR7HCTS2-P540 is equipped
with a special command protocol
that enables the touch screen to
operate in either relative (mouse-
like) or absolute positioning mode.
Because the IC interfaces via the
PS/2 mouse port, it can utilize any
standard mouse driver when
operating in relative mode. For
absolute positioning, Semtech
offers a high-functionality driver
which includes inking capabilities.
Mice
connected
to
the
TM
PS2鈥檚
external
ScreenCoder
mouse port will always act in relative
mode, even if the touch screen is
operating in the absolute mode.
The PS/2 communication channel is
bi-directional at 10 kbps.
The ScreenCoder
TM
PS2 offers
built-in A/D. Touch detection and
motion are handled in firmware, and
no digitizer is required. The cost-
effective solution requires few
external components, allowing for a
simple and real estate saving
implementation.
Note, some versions offer a PS/2
port with MouseWheel and 5-button
mouse functionality.
