MK712S

TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL
The MK712 Touch Screen Controller IC provides all the screen drive, A to D converter and control circuits to easily interface to 4-wire analog resistive touch screens. The IC continually monitors the screen waiting for a touch. In this mode, the supply current is typically 0.5A. When the screen is touched, the IC performs analog to digital conversions to determine the location of the touch, stores the X and Y locations in the registers, and issues an interrupt. This process is repeated up to 197 times per second until no further screen touches are detected, at which time the low current mode is resumed.
