DESCRIPTION
The ScreenCoder
TM
SPI/Serial is a
touch screen controller and
integrated digitizer IC designed
specifically for RISC-based
systems, such as wireless Internet
appliances. The small, single
footprint IC interfaces the system
via either the Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) or Asynchronous
Serial Interface.
Unlike simple A/D implementations,
the ScreenCoder
TM
SPI/Serial does
not require complicated software
drivers and no processing burden
is placed on the CPU. Due to the
IC鈥檚 superior data processing and
sampling rate, the ScreenCoder
TM
SPI/Serial is ideal for use in systems
requiring handwriting recognition.
Patented-power management
techniques are also implemented
so that the IC only consumes 1uA
of current most of the time, even
with the external mouse connected.
The IC operates at 3 to 5 Volts.
Features of Semtech鈥檚 motion
algorithm include resistance to RF
and other noise which provides
smooth and precise motion control.
The UR7HCTS2-S840 also works
flawlessly with any 4 or 8-wire touch
screen, regardless of size or
manufacturer.
The cost-effective solution requires
few external components, allowing
for a simple and real estate saving
implementation.
