2.375V to 5.25V, 4-Wire Touch-Screen
Controller
General Description
The MXB7843 is an industry-standard 4-wire touch-
screen controller. It contains a 12-bit sampling analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) with a synchronous serial
interface and low on-resistance switches for driving
resistive touch screens. The MXB7843 uses an external
reference. The MXB7843 can make absolute or ratio-
metric measurements. The MXB7843 has two auxiliary
ADC inputs. All analog inputs are fully ESD protected,
eliminating the need for external TransZorb™ devices.
The MXB7843 is guaranteed to operate with a single
2.375V to 5.25V supply voltage. In shutdown mode, the
typical power consumption is reduced to under 0.5µW,
while the typical power consumption at 125ksps
throughput and a 2.7V supply is 650µW.
Low-power operation makes the MXB7843 ideal for bat-
tery-operated systems, such as personal digital assis-
tants with resistive touch screens and other portable
equipment. The MXB7843 is available in 16-pin QSOP
and TSSOP packages, and is guaranteed over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
