General Description
The MXB7846 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 MXB7846 uses an internal
+2.5V reference or an external reference. The
MXB7846 can make absolute or ratiometric measure-
ments. In addition, this device has an on-chip tempera-
ture sensor, a battery-monitoring channel, and has the
ability to perform touch-pressure measurements without
external components. The MXB7846 has one auxiliary
ADC input. All analog inputs are fully ESD protected,
eliminating the need for external TransZorb™ devices.
The MXB7846 is guaranteed to operate with a supply
voltage down to +2.375V when used with an external
reference or +2.7V with an internal reference. In shut-
down 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 MXB7846 ideal for bat-
tery-operated systems, such as personal digital assis-
tants with resistive touch screens and other portable
equipment. The MXB7846 is available in 16-pin QSOP
and TSSOP packages, and is guaranteed over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
