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.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

TIMING CHARACTERISTICS
(Figure 1)
Note 1:
Tested at V
DD
= +2.7V.
Note 2:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range has
been calibrated.
Note 3:
Offset nulled.
Note 4:
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
Note 5:
Resistance measured from the source to drain of the switch.
Note 6:
ADC performance is limited by the conversion noise floor, typically 300µV
P-P
. An external reference below 2.5V can com-
promise the ADC performance.
