Touch-Screen Controllers with I C/SPI Interface
–MAX1803
General Description
Features
The MAX11800–MAX11803 low-power touch-screen con-
trollers operate from a single supply of 1.70V to 3.6V, tar-
geting power-sensitive applications such as handheld
equipment. The devices contain a 12-bit SAR ADC and a
multiplexer to interface with a resistive touch-screen
panel. A digital serial interface provides communications.
♦ 4-Wire Touch-Screen Interface
♦ X/Y Coordinate and Touch Pressure Measurement
♦ Ratiometric Measurement
♦ 12-Bit SAR ADC
♦ Single 1.7V to 3.6V Supply
The MAX11800–MAX11803 include digital preprocessing
of the touch-screen measurements, reducing bus loading
and application-processor resource requirements. The
included smart interrupt function generator greatly
reduces the frequency of interrupt servicing to the
devices. The MAX11800–MAX11803 enter low-power
modes automatically between conversions to save power,
making the devices ideal for portable applications.
♦ Two Operating Modes—Direct and Autonomous
♦ Data Tagging Provides Measurement and Touch
Event Information
♦ Data Filtering Provides Noise Reduction
♦ Aperture Mode Provides Spatial Filtering
♦ Digital Processing Reduces Bus Activity and
Interrupt Generation
The MAX11800/MAX11801 offer two modes of operation:
direct and autonomous. Direct mode allows the applica-
tion processor to control all touch-screen controller activ-
ity. Autonomous mode allows the MAX11800/MAX11801
to control touch-screen activity, thereby freeing the
application processor to perform other functions. In
autonomous mode, the devices periodically scan the
touch screen for touch events without requiring host-
processor intervention. This can be used to reduce sys-
tem power consumption. An on-chip FIFO is used during
autonomous mode to store results, increasing effective
data throughput and lower system power.
♦ Programmable Touch-Detect Pullup Resistors
♦ Auto Power-Down Control for Low-Power
Operation
♦ 25MHz SPI Interface (MAX11800/MAX11802)
♦ 400kHz I2C Interface (MAX11801/MAX11803)
♦ 1.6mm x 2.1mm, 12-Pin WLP and 4mm x 4mm,
12-Pin TQFN

X-
X Position Positive I/O: Analog I/O from resistive touch screen. See Figure 4 for configuration and
measurement details.
X Position Negative I/O: Analog I/O from resistive touch screen. See Figure 4 for configuration and
measurement details.
Y Position Positive I/O: Analog I/O from resistive touch screen. See Figure 4 for configuration and measurement
details.
Y+
Y-
Y Position Negative I/O: Analog I/O from resistive touch screen. See Figure 4 for configuration and
measurement details.
Touch Resistance: Represents the resistance between the X and Y planes of a resistive touch screen during a
touch event.
R
TOUCH
Z1
Z1 Measurement: A resistive touch-screen measurement to determine the resistance between the two planes
–MAX1803
within the panel sensor during a touch event (R ). See Figure 5 for configuration and measurement details.
TOUCH
Z2 Measurement: A resistive touch-screen measurement to determine the resistance between the two planes
within the panel sensor during a touch event (R ). See Figure 5 for configuration and measurement details.
Z2
TOUCH
Auxiliary Input: Analog input to the MAX11800–MAX11803 that can be used to monitor external conditions
such as battery voltage or temperature.
AUX
ADC
AP
Analog-to-Digital Converter: Circuit used to transform analog information into a form suitable for digital operations.
Application Processor: An external microcontroller or microprocessor that interfaces to and controls the
general operation of the MAX11800–MAX11803.
Averaging Mode: The ability to average consecutive measurement results to reduce noise from switch
bounce, power-supply ripple, and incomplete settling.
AVG
Median Averaging Filter: The MAF first removes the minimum and maximum samples before taking the
average of the remaining sample set.
MAF
SAF
TDM
Straight Averaging Filter: The SAF takes the average of an entire sample set.
Touch-Detect Mode: An untimed mode that monitors the panel for a touch using a user-selectable panel
pullup resistor of either 50kꢀ or 100kꢀ.
Direct Conversion Mode: A mode of operation in which the AP requests individual panel setup and
conversion operations or automated combinations of measurements (X and Y, X and Y and Z1, or X and Y and
Z1 and Z2). The AP maintains control over the initiation of panel setup, measurements, and the sampling
DCM
ACM
Autonomous Conversion Mode: A mode of operation in which the MAX11800/MAX11801 idle in TDM until a
touch event occurs. After a touch is detected, the MAX11800/MAX11801 begin an automated sequence of
measurements determined by the user configuration registers.
Panel Setup Command: User-programmable modes for the purpose of allowing the panel sufficient time to
settle, prior to the start of measurements. PSU commands configure the on-chip multiplexer in preparation to
perform either X, Y, Z1, or Z2 measurements. Durations can either be specified and managed by the
MAX11800–MAX11803 (in ACM and DCM) or managed by the AP (in DCM).
PSU
PMC
CMC
Panel Measurement Command: Individual measurements of X or Y position and Z1 or Z2 pressure measurements.
Combined Measurement Command: Combinations of PMCs (X and Y, X and Y and Z1, or X and Y and Z1 and
Z2) offered by the MAX11800–MAX11803 and executed in series to reduce AP bus and interrupt activity.

Table 1. Terminology (continued)
TERM
DEFINITION
First-In First-Out Memory: The MAX11800–MAX11803 contain a 1024-bit FIFO that is used to store conversion
results when operating in autonomous conversion mode. FIFO depth indicates the number of words (16-bit
quantity) in the FIFO.
FIFO
Scan: Generally, a single sequence of operations performed in DCM or ACM. The operations could include a
panel setup operation, followed by a panel measurement operation, or a combined measurement operation.
Scan
Scan Block: Generally, a sequence of multiple operations performed in DCM or ACM. The operations could
include panel-setup operations, panel-measurement operations, or combined measurement operations.
Scan Block
Timed Scan: A scan or scan block operation that uses the on-chip oscillator and timer. The timer is controlled
through the configuration registers and represents an array of fixed (time) quantities that are user selectable
(MAX11800/MAX11801).
Timed Scan
Untimed Scan Untimed Scan: A scan or scan block operation that is controlled by the AP. This only applies to DCM.
Data Tag: Information appended to the end of an ADC conversion result. Tags indicate the type of measurement and
touch status associated with each panel observation. See the definitions for ETAG and MTAG (also in Table 1).
TAG
ETAG
MTAG
Event Tag: Data tags indicating the panel touch status observed during a measurement.
Measurement Tag: Data tag indicating the type of measurement read back by the AP (either X, Y, Z1, or Z2).
Touch Interrupt Request: Active-low interrupt, indicating that a touch is present (CINT) or has been initiated
(EINT) in DCM, or that new data is available in the FIFO in ACM.
TIRQ
EINT
CINT
Edge Interrupt Mode: Indicates, through TIRQ, that a touch has been initiated (EINT) in DCM. The duration that
TIRQ is low is user programmable.
Continuous Interrupt Mode: Indicates, through TIRQ, that a touch is present (CINT) in DCM. TIRQ goes low to
indicate the presence of a touch and stays low until the touch event ceases.
Clear-on-Read Interrupt Mode: Used in ACM only. TIRQ goes low to indicate the presence of new FIFO data. The
interrupt is cleared when the data is read by the AP (MAX11800/MAX11801).
CORINT
APER
Aperture Mode: Available in ACM only. Reduces data writes to the FIFO by spatially filtering measurement data.
Continuous Bit: An option in DCM to return the MAX11800–MAX11803 to a panel setup (wait) mode (PSU) after a
conversion, rather than a return to TDM (recommended only for applications with very long panel settling times and
request controlling their own averaging). The continuous bit resides in bit 0 (R0) of the PSU and PMC registers.
CONT
LPM
Low-Power Mode: An idle mode used in DCM/EINT or ACM modes, when a touch is detected at the conclusion of
the last measurement. This indicates a new measurement needs to be requested or scheduled (the touch-detect
pullup is not engaged to save power).
Pullup Rough: A fast pullup mode, which uses the main X+ switch in parallel with the on-chip resistive pullup
PUR
PUF
(50kΩ/100kΩ) to quickly slew the touch panel capacitances. R
≤ 10Ω typical.
PUR
Pullup Fine: A slow (fine) pullup mode, which uses the on-chip resistive pullup to slew the touch-panel
capacitances to their final values (R = 50kΩ or 100kΩ) typical and is required for all applications.
PUF
Successive Approximation Register ADC: An analog-to-digital converter that converts a continuous analog
waveform into a discrete digital representation through a binary search through all possible quantization levels
before finally converging upon a digital output for each conversion.
SAR ADC
Inter-Integrated Circuit: A multimaster serial computer bus that is used to attach low-speed peripherals to other
components using two bidirectional open-drain lines, serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL), pulled up with
resistors.
2
I C
Serial Peripheral Interface: A serial interface in which a master device supplies clock pulses to exchange data
serially with a slave over two data wires (master-slave and slave-master).

Detailed Description

The MAX11800–MAX11803 contain standard features
• Combined commands—multiple operations per-
formed with a single AP command
found in a typical resistive touch-screen controller as
well as advanced features found only on Maxim touch-
screen controllers. Standard features included in the
MAX11800–MAX11803 are:
• User-programmable acquisition modes
• Programmable interrupt output drive
• 4-wire touch-screen interface
• X/Y coordinate measurement
• Touch pressure measurement
The MAX11800/MAX11801 operate in one of two top-
level modes: direct conversion mode (DCM) or
autonomous conversion mode (ACM). Direct conver-
sion mode requires the AP to initiate all activity to and
from the MAX11800/MAX11801. DCM is the operating
mode that most standard resistive touch-screen con-
trollers use. ACM allows the MAX11800/MAX11801 to
perform measurements automatically and inform the AP
when they are complete, reducing data transfers on the
serial bus as well as generating fewer interrupt
requests. The MAX11802/MAX11803 operate in DCM
only. DCM requires the AP to initiate all activity to and
from the MAX11802/MAX11803. DCM is the operating
mode that most standard resistive touch-screen con-
trollers use.
• Direct conversion operation—requires direct AP
involvement
• Single commands—AP initiates all activity, one
command at a time
• Ratiometric measurement
• 12-bit SAR ADC
• Single 1.7V to 3.6V supply
• Programmable touch-detect pullup—50kΩ or
100kΩ
• Auto power-down control for low-power operation
–MAX1803
Both DCM and ACM support averaging, data tagging,
and combined commands. Certain commands and
operations are only available in DCM, while others are
only available in ACM. See Figures 3a and 3b and
Table 2 for details.
Advanced features found in the MAX11800/MAX11801
include:
• Autonomous conversion operation—minimal AP
involvement
• On-chip FIFO—buffers up to 16 consecutive mea-
Position Measurements
Position measurements determine either the X or Y
coordinates of the point of contact on the panel sensor.
Allow adequate time for the panel to settle when switch-
ing between X and Y measurements. Figure 4 shows
the physical setup of the panel when performing posi-
tion measurements.

In ACM, the choices are limited to X and Y scan, or X and Y and Z1 scan, or X and Y and Z1 and Z2 scan.
In DCM, MTAG is always used. For DCM with CONT = 0, the following ETAGs are used: 00 = touch present (data valid), 10 = no
touch present (data may be invalid), 11 = measurement in progress (data invalid). For DCM with CONT = 1, the panel cannot be
scanned for a touch because panel setup switches are configured in a measurement mode; therefore, ETAG = 00 is used if a mea-
surement is not in progress, or ETAG = 11 if a measurement is in progress.

A separate configuration register for delay time, sampling time, averaging, and ADC resolution settings configures the AUX input.

power dissipation condition is observed when the point
of contact is in the top left corner of the panel sensor.
The planar end-to-end resistance included in the cur-
rent path is minimal at this location. Keep the averaging
and panel settling durations to the minimum required
by the application when pressure measurements are
required. Table 3 summarizes the physical panel set-
tings for supported measurement types.
touch is detected. The YMSW and TSW transistors are
on, and the XPSW and PSW transistors are off. With no
touch present, the Y- input of the TSC is at ground and
the X+ input is at V
- V , where V is the threshold

DD
voltage of the TSW nMOS device. This is a low-power
mode in which no current is consumed until a panel
touch occurs. When a touch is present on the panel,
the touch-screen controller (TSC) X+ input is pulled low
by the touch panel plate resistance and the YMSW tran-
sistor. This causes TOUCH to assume a logic-high and
the devices either issue the TIRQ interrupt for direct
conversion modes (MAX11800–MAX11803) or begin
self-timed scans for autonomous conversion mode
(MAX11800/MAX11801).
Touch-Detect Modes and Options
Figure 6 shows the internal circuitry in the
MAX11800–MAX11803 used to detect the presence of
a touch on the panel. The selection of the pullup resis-
tance value (R
= touch-detect resistance) and the
TD
durations of the rough pullup interval (PUR = low-
impedance pullup) and fine pullup interval (PUF = high-
impedance pullup) are user-defined.
The value of the user-defined R
depends on the
TD
characteristics of the panel. To ensure reliable
detection values, worst-case panel resistance must
The MAX11800–MAX11803 revert to the low-power
panel setup when placed in touch-detect mode (TDM).
Figure 6 shows the active panel drive switches (YMSW
and XPSW are omitted for simplicity). TSW is a dedicat-
ed pullup switch used in TDM. TSW is also used during
PUF and TDM. XPSW is activated during PUR periods.
TDRSEL allows the selection of an internal pullup resis-
tor value of either 50kΩ or 100kΩ.
The X and Y touch-screen plates create an open circuit
with no current flow in the panel when the panel is not
being touched. In this case, TOUCH (see Figure 6) is
low. When a touch causes contact between the panel X
and Y plates, a current path is created and TOUCH is
be checked against R . The interaction between
TD
R
and the panel (or external noise rejecting)
TD
capacitance determines how quickly the panel can

Panel touch status is also required to tag data from a
completed scan and measurement operation. Following
each scan operation, the panel must be returned to
TDM to determine if the panel is still being touched and
if the data obtained during the scan operation should
be considered valid. This operation is required since
the panel cannot be monitored for the presence of a
touch during the scan and measurement procedure.

The MAX11800–MAX11803 must return to TDM after
completing a measurement and making a decision on
the touch status of the panel. The measurement proce-
dure is only completed upon resolution of the touch sta-
tus and when data is tagged and available for
readback. The characteristics of the return to TDM and
open-circuit panel plate resistances range from 200Ω
to 1000Ω.

the touch-detection operations.
Use the optional PUR mode to reduce the time to tag
data by momentarily placing the panel in a low-imped-
ance (< 10Ω) pullup mode instead of using the avail-
able 50kΩ/100kΩ touch-detection pullup resistors. This
operation forces the monitored TSC input high during
the PUR interval. Once the PUR interval expires, a PUF
interval must be allowed so that the panel can recover
and pull the TSC input low in case a touch is present.
The purpose of the PUR mode is to reduce the time
required to determine touch status by avoiding long

Features Available in the
MAX11800–MAX11803 Averaging Modes
The MAX11800–MAX11803 contain a programmable
averaging filter. When enabled, this feature allows col-
lecting 4, 8, or 16 consecutive samples for each mea-
surement type requested. The number of the samples
for each measurement type is controlled by configura-
tion register 0x03. Averaging can be assigned to each
measurement type. For example, X and Y measure-
ments can use an average of 16 samples, while Z mea-
surements can use one or four samples to save power.

The MAX11800–MAX11803 can be configured to per-

the lowest and highest values before averaging the
remaining sample set. The second filter type is a
straight averaging filter (SAF), which takes the average
of the entire sample set. Both filter types and
position/pressure averaging are controlled by configu-
ration register 0x0B. Table 4 presents the details of the
median averaging operations of the MAX11800–

Combined Commands
Combined commands reduce AP interaction with the
MAX11800–MAX11803 by allowing multiple measure-
ments. For example, the MAX11800–MAX11803 can be
instructed to provide X and Y data, or X and Y and Z1
data, or X and Y and Z1 and Z2 data using a single
command.
Auxiliary measurement data is not tagged because it is
not related to panel operation. Auxiliary measurement
data is stored and read back identically to the other
direct conversion data. The tag locations for auxiliary
measurement data are always set to 0000b, unless the
read occurs when an auxiliary measurement is in
progress. In this situation, the tag locations read 1111b
and the data stream reads back FFFFh.
Data Tagging
In direct conversion modes, all measurement data is
contained in a 16-bit word. X, Y, Z1, and Z2 information
is stored independently. Each word consists of 12 bits
of measurement data plus a 2-bit measurement type
(MTAG) and a 2-bit event tag (ETAG). The measure-
ment tag identifies whether the data represents an X, Y,
Z1, or Z2 result. The event tag indicates the point at
which the data is sampled (initial, midpress, or release)
during the touch event. When trying to read a result that
is pending, the entire data stream is read back as
FFFFh and the event tag as 11b, indicating that the cor-
responding measurement is in progress and that the
data stream is to be ignored. For combined commands,
all data locations requested by the command are
marked FFFFh, pending the completion of the entire
command and the proper tagging of the data. See
Table 5.
Low-Power Modes
There are also two low-power modes, LPM and TDM.
LPM only applies when in DCM with edge interrupt
mode or ACM during periods following a conversion
where the panel was observed to be touched and a
subsequent panel measurement is required and/or
scheduled.
During LPM, all circuitry is off, including the on-chip
touch-detect pullup resistors used in the touch-detect
circuitry. In direct conversion modes, a user-request ini-
tiates the next operation and all circuitry is off until a
user-command is received. Therefore, the current con-
sumption is primarily due to junction leakage. In
autonomous conversion mode, an on-chip oscillator
and timer are constantly running. Therefore, the device
current consumption is primarily determined by the
oscillator and timer.
Direct conversion modes do not use the internal FIFO
or support the aperture function (see the Aperture
Modes and Options section). Each measurement type
uses a single location in the (16-bit) memory. The AP
must retrieve the data from the last requested measure-
ment before moving on to the next measurement of the
type.
During TDM, all circuitry is off except the on-chip pullup
resistor. This is an untimed mode (oscillator and timer
are off) for both ACM and DCM (no digital current). This
mode only consumes current through the on-chip
pullup resistor when a touch is present. The device can
be powered down through register 0x0B when no panel
input is expected or needed, and, therefore, no power
is consumed through the panel.

Features Available in the
MAX11800/MAX11801 Only
Direct Conversion Mode Operations
In direct conversion mode, the AP requests individual
panel setup and conversion operations or automated
combinations of measurements (X and Y, X and Y and
Z1, or X and Y and Z1 and Z2 combined). Unlike
autonomous conversion modes, the AP maintains control
over the initiation of panel setup, measurements events,
and the sampling frequency. Figure 8 shows the state
machine transitions for direct conversion mode.
Autonomous Mode
The MAX11800/MAX11801 can perform measurements
automatically without the AP involvement, and is
referred to as autonomous conversion mode (ACM).
When operating in ACM, the MAX11800/MAX11801 use
an on-chip FIFO to store measurement results. As each
new data is written to the FIFO, an interrupt is generat-
ed. The AP can choose to service (read) the FIFO result
after each interrupt or wait until the FIFO is full then
read the entire FIFO contents at once. The AP can also
read the contents of the FIFO at any time. See the
Autonomous Conversion Mode section for a further
description of operations.
Interrupt Modes
The MAX11800–MAX11803 support two direct conver-
sion interrupt modes. The two direct conversion modes
are the continuous interrupt mode (CINT) and the edge
interrupt mode (EINT).
Continuous Interrupt Mode
In continuous interrupt mode, the panel returns to TDM
and idle. The current status of the panel is then sent
through TIRQ. The continuous interrupt mode is the
least efficient mode in current consumption for long
duration of touches. The power consumption is approxi-
Aperture
The MAX11800/MAX11801 contain a feature referred to
as aperture. It is only available on the MAX11800/
MAX11801 when operating in autonomous conversion
mode. The aperture feature creates an invisible rectan-
gle around a touch location within the MAX11800/
MAX11801 hardware. The size of the rectangle is user
programmable. One application of the aperture feature
is to provide “spatial hysteresis.” Spatial hysteresis can
be useful for applications that require lower resolution
touch accuracy without requiring the AP to handle the
mathematics involved to filter out extraneous data.
Another application would be to use the aperture fea-
ture to implement simple single finger or stylus ges-
tures. See the Using Aperture Mode section for a
further description of operations.

tion levels observed when the panel is not touched is
limited by the junction leakage currents of the
MAX11800–MAX11803.
Procedure: The MAX11800–MAX11803 idle in TDM.
The TIRQ output goes low when a touch is detected on
the panel indicating to the AP that a touch is present
and a measurement operation starts.
The AP requests specific panel measurements through
the serial interface. TIRQ stays low during panel setup
and measurement operations. Once a measurement is
complete (with the “continuous” bit, CONT = 0, see
Table 1), the MAX11800–MAX11803 check for the con-
tinued presence of a touch on the panel and tag the data
accordingly (see Table 6). The duration of this operation
is programmable, specified in the touch-detect pullup
timing configuration register (0x07). After the data is
tagged, the data is available for readback through the
serial interface. The MAX11800–MAX11803 return to
TDM and return control of TIRQ to the TDM circuitry.
TIRQ stays low while a touch remains present, indicating
further measurements are required, otherwise TIRQ goes
high until a new touch is observed.
Panel Setup, Measurement, and Scan Commands
To simplify measurement procedures, the MAX11800–
MAX11803 support three types of commands: panel
setup commands (PSU), panel measurement commands
(PMC), and combined measurement commands (CMC).
In direct conversion mode, the MAX11800/MAX11801
can use all three types of commands. Using individual
panel setup and measurement commands allow for a
high degree of customization based on decisions made
by the AP, while using combined commands signifi-
cantly simplifies the complete measurement process
and reduces communications between the AP and the
MAX11800–MAX11803.
Continuous interrupt mode (CINT) allows the complete
control over the measurement operations and direct obser-
vation of the touch status of the panel. Figure 9 shows the
polling of TIRQ when other functions share the TIRQ bus. In
the illustration of Figure 9, no ‘10’ event tag is observed
because the release occurs during a TDM period.
In autonomous mode, the MAX11800/MAX11801 use
combined commands to control and automate all
aspects of panel setup, measurements, and timing. See
the Operating Mode Configuration Register (0x0B) sec-
tion for more details.

high-impedance mode once data tagging operations are
complete. In edge interrupt mode, the duration of a touch
is determined by the tags applied to the measurement
data. Data tagged as initial (00) or midpress (01) indicates
the user needs to continue to scan the panel until a
release is observed. In this state, there is no need to con-
tinue monitoring the touch status prior to the next request-
ed measurement. If a panel touch is not present, data is
tagged as release (10) and the MAX11800–MAX11803
idle in TDM continuously, issuing an interrupt only when
the next panel touch is initiated.

The operation described in the preceding paragraph
makes the edge interrupt mode more power-efficient
than the continuous interrupt mode. However, the edge
interrupt mode requires continuous scanning of the
panel until a release (10) event is observed. Otherwise,
the MAX11800–MAX11803 do not idle in TDM and are
not able to recognize a change in touch status. New
touches are not recognized and new interrupts are not
issued if a release event is not detected before stop-

issued with CONT = 1 are not capable of fulfilling this
requirement.
Procedure: The EINT mode reduces TIRQ activity.
During EINT, the MAX11800–MAX11803 idle in a TDM.
TIRQ goes low when a new touch is detected on the
panel. TIRQ stays low for a fixed duration as specified
in the configuration register 0x01, indicating to the AP
that a touch is present and measurements are required.
The EINT mode provides the least interrupt activity and
the lowest power consumption. Use EINT mode for
general touch-screen applications and applications
requiring high resolution in space and time. When the
TIRQ bus is shared with other functions, poll the gener-
al status register (0x00) to detect the presence of an
interrupt. See Figure 10.
The AP requests specific panel setups and measure-
ments through the serial interface using panel setup
and conversion commands after TIRQ goes low. Once
a measurement is complete (with CONT = 0), the
MAX11800–MAX11803 check for the continued pres-
ence of a touch and tag the data accordingly. See
Table 7. The duration of this operation is programma-
ble, specified in the Touch-Detect Pullup Timing
Configuration Register (0x07) section. After the data is
tagged, it is available for readback through the serial
interface. The MAX11800–MAX11803 do not return to
TDM when the panel touch is still present (ETAG = 00,
01), but remain in an LPM awaiting further measure-
ment commands. The devices return to TDM when the
panel touch is no longer present (ETAG = 10) and
return control of the TIRQ interrupt to the TDM circuitry
to await the next touch event.

Panel Setup Commands
the panel measurement commands; configured using
the panel setup timing configuration register, 0x05. The
dedicated panel setup commands are primarily provid-
ed to support applications where the AP needs to con-
trol panel setup directly or long panel setup time is
required.
Panel setup commands configure the touch panel prior to
a measurement. Panel setup commands allow the panel
to fully settle before performing a measurement. The
panel setup command summary is shown in Table 8. See
the register map in the Status and Configuration Registers
section for details on the panel setup timing options for X,
Y, Z1, and Z2 measurements.
Panel Measurement Commands
A measurement command selects one of the four phys-
ical setup options: X, Y, Z1, or Z2.
The continuation bit (CONT) of the panel setup com-
mand programs the MAX11800–MAX11803 to maintain
the present panel setting at the end of the command
(CONT = 1). Panel setup commands assume a logical
progression to an appropriate measurement. For exam-
ple, when the MAX11800–MAX11803 are in the X panel
setup mode, the devices can proceed to an X measure-
ment mode only. The devices return to LPM when an
incompatible command follows a panel setup com-
mand. See Figure 11. For most applications adequate
time for panel setup is available as an integral part of
All panel measurement commands include timed inter-
vals to power up both the internal ADC and the panel
with programmable durations. The delayed conversion
time (t
, delayed conversion configuration register
D_CV
(0x06)) governs the time that the panel and the ADC
need to settle prior to the initiations of conversions. The
minimum delayed conversion time is 10μs, which is the
time the internal ADC needs to power up. If more set-
tling time is required, increase the panel settling time

Measurement Operations
In autonomous conversion, the MAX11800/MAX11801
idle in TDM until a touch event occurs. The
MAX11800/MAX11801 begin an automated sequence
of measurements as defined by the configuration regis-
ter 0x08h.
timed high-impedance LPM to minimize current, after
the data tagging operations are complete. The
MAX11800/MAX11801 idle in LPM until it is time to per-
form the next required scan, determined by the config-
uration register settings. When a touch is not present at
the end of a measurement, the device returns to idle in
TDM. In TDM, the device waits until a touch is detected
before initiating another set of autonomous measure-
ments.
The MAX11800/MAX11801 tag and log the data into the
FIFO once a measurement is taken. If a touch is still pre-
sent, the devices continue to idle in a LPM until the time,
as set by the configuration settings, expires. If no touch is
present at the expiration of the time set by the configura-
tion settings, the MAX11800/MAX11801 return to TDM to
await the next panel touch.
The MAX11800/MAX11801 adopt a clear-on-interrupt
protocol (CORINT) when in autonomous conversion
mode. Between touch events, the devices idle in a low-
power TDM state. Upon detection of a touch, the
devices begin a sequence of automated measure-
ments. Each time a qualifying measurement is complet-
ed, the data for that measurement is written to the
internal FIFO. Qualifying measurements are measure-
ments that indicate the beginning and end of a touch
event, which meet aperture requirements (see the
Aperture Range Requirements section).
All measurement operations occur without any interven-
tion from the AP. The MAX11800/MAX11801 issue inter-
rupts when new data is available in the internal FIFO. The
device clears the interrupt when all data is read back.
The AP controls the readback of measurement data as
the data becomes available.
Combined Commands
In autonomous conversion mode, the MAX11800/
MAX11801 automatically perform the combined com-
mand defined in the configuration register. The devices
continuously scan for panel touch events. Between
scans, the devices idle in a low-power mode according
to the present touch status.
TIRQ issues an interrupt once a qualifying measure-
ment is completed and logged into the FIFO indicating
that new data is available for the AP to read back. The
MAX11800/MAX11801 continue to perform measure-
ments as required by the configuration settings.
Program the AP to service the interrupt immediately to
avoid a FIFO overflow and loss of data. TIRQ remains
asserted until all unread FIFO data has been read back
to the AP. The AP confirms that readback is complete
either by monitoring TIRQ or by monitoring the data
event tags embedded in the data for end-of-FIFO.

Delayed Touch Detection During Mode Transitions
The MAX11800/MAX11801 support a low-power power-
down mode suspending all touch-screen activity and
the panel is not driven. In this mode, the
MAX11800/MAX11801 is unable to detect a touch.
When commanded to transition from PWRDN to any
normal mode of operation, the MAX11800/MAX11801
go through a PUR/PUF sequence prior to observing the
panel touch status, minimizing the occurrence of inter-
rupts issued by false touches caused by the initial state
of panel capacitances.
The FIFO completely clears when autonomous conver-
sions halt and the MAX11800/MAX11801 transition to
direct conversion mode. The FIFO also clears on transi-
tions from direct conversion mode to autonomous
mode.
FIFO Data Block Readback Structure
Table 10 illustrates the scan data block structure within
the FIFO for each scan type. Block boundaries are indi-
cated by bold lines. Numeric subscripts denote the
sample order when the data was taken. Readback pro-
ceeds from top to bottom. FIFO blocks are written as a
complete unit with an interrupt issued only after all
required block measurements are complete and data is
tagged. A FIFO data block consists of 2, 3, or 4 FIFO
data words (word = 16 bits).
In addition, when commanded to transition between
normal operating modes, the MAX11800/MAX11801
clear any existing interrupts and go through the
PUR/PUF sequence prior to observing the current panel
touch status.
Table 10. FIFO Data Block Structure
FIFO Memory
The MAX11800/MAX11801 include an internal FIFO to
store scan block results for readback through the AP.
Each scan block result contains complete data for all
measurements requested by the scan type (X, Y; or X,
Y, Z1; or X, Y, Z1, Z2). The depth of each scan data
block ranges from 32 bits (X, Y mode) to 48 bits (X, Y,
Z1 mode) or 64 bits (X, Y, Z1, and Z2 mode).

The internal FIFO stores up to 16 complete scan
blocks, a total of 1024 bits. Regularly service the FIFO
to prevent overflow conditions. In the event of an over-
flow, the FIFO ceases to write new data until the old
data is read or cleared. Avoid overflow to prevent data
loss and unreliable behavior.

FIFO Data Word Structure
Table 11 shows a 16-bit data word (MSB byte + LSB
byte). Each data word consists of 12 bits of position
data, mapped to locations [15:4]. Eight-bit measure-
ment data are left-adjusted and mapped to locations
[15:8] and followed by four trailing zeros if averaging is
off. If averaging is on, the 4 bits contain random data as
a result of the summation and division process. Table
12 shows a 2-bit measurement tag indicating the mea-
surement type (X, Y, Z1, or Z2), appended in locations
[3:2]. Table 13 shows a 2-bit event tag indicating where
the sample occurs within a touch event (initial, mid-
press, or release) in locations [1:0].
Clearing Interrupt
The FIFO is only used in the autonomous mode with the
clear-on-read interrupt. The interrupt is cleared only
when the newest data block currently available in the
FIFO is loaded for readback. The interrupt does not
clear if there is any unread data block remaining in the
FIFO once a scan block result is loaded. The FIFO does
not check for partial block readbacks. Once the last
available FIFO data block is loaded for readback, the
interrupt clears regardless of whether the readback
operation for that block is complete.
Aperture Modes and Options
The aperture modes available with the MAX11800/
MAX11801 implement spatial filtering. The MAX11800/
MAX11801 contain the required logic to examine panel
measurement data and determine if the data meets the
aperture requirements to be written to the FIFO. Aperture
testing decreases the number of entries in the FIFO to
the minimum required to implement the intended appli-
cation. The elimination of extraneous FIFO data events
reduces activity on the TIRQ line, serial bus, and mini-
mizes AP overhead. The contents in the FIFO are not
necessarily linearly sampled in time when the device is in
aperture mode.
All data for a given scan operation is tagged according
to the touch status observed at the end of the scan
block measurement operations. For example, if a
requested X, Y, Z1, Z2 scan block contains a release
event, all the data words are tagged 10 before being
written to the FIFO.
An event tag of 11 indicates that the data readback
operation reaches the end of the current FIFO data log
(end of file marker) and there is no unread data in the
FIFO. Terminate the readback operation to await the
next interrupt. Ignore all data with the 11 event tag.
–MAX1803
Block Readback Operations
The MAX11800/MAX11801 do not support partial block
readback operations. Each readback operation loads
an entire scan block result (32, 48, or 64 bits) into a
temporary location for serial readback. A scan block is
marked as read in the FIFO once a scan block result is
loaded, freeing the memory space for the subsequent
measurements. Once initiated, the AP must complete
the full readback cycle for the block requested or the
unread portions of the block data is lost.
Aperture Range Requirements
Program the aperture range requirements for both X
and Y through register 0x0B. Range requirements are
expressed as distance, in position LSBs. The blanking
aperture extends from the initial touch position, both
ΔX and ΔY with 12-bit resolution (1 LSB = 1/4096 of
the corresponding screen dimension). An aperture set-
ting of 0x00 effectively disables aperture checking with
all measurement data logged to the FIFO. Apertures
are specified in a power-of-two format: ΔX = 2APRX[3:0]-1
and ΔY = 2APRY[3:0]-1

Applications Information
Using Aperture Mode
Aperture mode is only supported in the MAX11800/
0010 = 2(2-1) LSB = 2 LSB
0011 = 2(3-1) LSB = 4 LSB
…
1001 = 2(9-1) LSB = 256 LSB (1/16 of the touch screen
in each direction)
1010 = 2(10-1) LSB = 512 LSB (1/8 of the touch screen
in each direction)
1011 = 2(11-1) LSB = 1024 LSB (1/4 of the touch
screen in each direction)
MAX11801. The MAX11800/MAX11801 accommodate
touch-panel applications where limited resolution in
both time and space can be traded off for reduced
microprocessor activity. A simulated keypad is an
example of an application where autonomous conver-
sion mode with aperture checking could yield an effi-
cient solution.
The AP determines the durations of touch-screen
presses. An issuance of TIRQ interrupts accompanies
all FIFO events. The interrupts clear when all existing
data is read back by the AP, allowing the AP to correct-
ly interpret held panel data.
1100 = 2(12-1) LSB = 2048 LSB (1/2 of the touch
screen in each direction)
The FIFO updates immediately when a new touch event
is detected. The system assumes that the panel touch is
continuous after the AP receives the interrupt. The
MAX11800/MAX11801 continue to scan the panel at the
user-programmed sample rate. The FIFO updates when
the measurement data shows that the panel touch loca-
tion moves (i.e., a measurement exceeds either of the
selected aperture ranges). The FIFO also updates upon
detection of a panel release. The AP determines the
duration of the press by observing the time between the
leading edge of the touch (tag 00) and the release edge
of the touch (tag 10). All midpress data (tag 01) are inter-
preted as part of a dragged touch event.
1101 to 1111 = aperture checking disabled
FIFO Aperture Criteria
In autonomous mode with aperture engaged, new data
is written to the FIFO, and an interrupt is issued when
the following conditions occur (aperture mode is not
available in direct conversion mode).
New Panel Touch Initiated
The FIFO updates and issues an interrupt when a new
touch is observed on the panel (data tag = 00). This
event occurs regardless of the current aperture setting
and the previous touch location so that multiple presses
in the same location can be observed and registered.
All valid touch events log two data points into the FIFO:
an initial data point at the beginning of the touch (tag
00) and a release data point at the termination of the
touch (tag 10). Discard release edge position data as
invalid as the MAX11800/MAX11801 cannot determine
at which point in the ADC conversion cycle the panel is
released during the measurement operation. If the
release occurs while the ADC is actively sampling the
panel, the results are invalid. Only initial and midpress
position data are reliable.
Continuous Panel Touch Terminated
The FIFO updates and issues an interrupt when a con-
tinuous panel touch is terminated (data tag = 10). This
event occurs regardless of the current aperture setting
and the previous continuous touch location(s) so that
multiple presses in the same location can be observed
and registered.
Continuous Panel Touch
Measurement Meets Aperture Criteria
Any touch event too short in duration to log both initial
and release data points is recorded in the FIFO as a
release (tag 10) and discarded as a glitch event.
The MAX11800/MAX11801 log the measurement data
to the FIFO and issue an interrupt when a measurement
during a continuous panel touch (event tag = 01) meets
the aperture criteria (i.e., lies on or outside the aperture
boundary). This event occurs when the point of contact
is dragged across the touch screen. Only the ΔX or ΔY
aperture criteria need to be met and a greater than or
equal to qualification criterion is applied. If the change
in X position or change in Y position exceeds the aper-
ture criteria, then an interrupt is generated.
Measuring durations of panel touches becomes
impractical when the AP services the MAX11800/
MAX11801 at lower than the operating speed of the
devices and the panel combined. The AP cannot time
the duration between panel touches when both the ini-
tial and release data points can be logged before the
initial interrupt is serviced. Do not allow the FIFO to
overflow as touch information can be lost and the FIFO
content becomes invalid.

When the MAX11800/MAX11801 operate in autonomous
conversion mode with low or no aperture ranges, the
FIFO and interrupt activity occur frequently with the AP
servicing the devices frequently to avoid loss of data
due to limited FIFO depth. For this reason, do not per-
form autonomous conversion for applications where a
high resolution in either space or time is required. Use
direct conversion mode when requiring a high resolu-
tion in either space or time.
that meet aperture requirements are enumerated and
are shown with the corresponding aperture ranges.
Positions 6 and 7 show a subsequent momentary press
event.
Figure 16 shows the anticipated interrupt waveforms in
several operating modes. The first waveform shows
interrupt operation assuming that aperture mode is
enabled (with ΔX = ΔY = 4 LSBs), assuming that the AP
service interrupts at a frequency faster than the select-
ed TSC sample rate. Each qualifying sample induces a
FIFO event and an interrupt pulse as shown. Timing
between FIFO events can be timed by the AP to deter-
mine duration information. Table 14 shows the read-
back data assuming that the FIFO does not fill up.
Examples of Using Aperture Mode
Figure 16 shows an example of a touch sequence. A
dragged touch sequence is initiated at position 1 and
continues through to position 5. While multiple samples
are taken during this sequence, only those samples

The second waveform shows an interrupt operation
assuming that aperture mode is disabled (or that ΔX =
ΔY = 0 LSB), assuming that the AP service interrupts at
a frequency faster than the selected TSC sample rate.
Every sample induces a FIFO event and an interrupt
pulse as shown. The interrupt waveform is significantly
busier than that shown in the first waveform. Duration
information can now be directly determined from the
FIFO samples since each sample is logged and occurs
at the programmed sample rate. Table 15 lists the read-
back data assuming the FIFO does not fill up.
The third waveform in Figure 16 shows an interrupt oper-
ation assuming that the MAX11800/MAX11801 are infre-

No duration information is available at resolutions below
the servicing rate. Either the set of data shown in Table
14 or the set shown in Table 15 appears in the FIFO
when read, depending on the aperture setting.

SPI Communication Sequence
(MAX11800/MAX11802)
Figure 17 shows the supported write operation
sequence for the MAX11800/MAX11802. A single con-
figuration register can be written in a 2-byte operation,
composed of a target register address (A[6:0], plus a
write mode indicator bit) followed by data to be written
to the target register (D[7:0]).
The SPI interface consists of three inputs, DIN, DCLK,
CS, and one output, DOUT. A logic-high on CS dis-
ables the MAX11800/MAX11802 digital interface and
places DOUT in a high-impedance state. Pulling CS low
enables the MAX11800/MAX11802 digital interface. The
MAX11800/MAX11802 provide two possible implemen-
tations of SPI instructions. In rising-edge-driven opera-
tions, the devices are able to run at maximum clock
speeds. Carefully consider the hold time requirements
of the MAX11800/MAX11802 and minimize board skew
contributions when running the MAX11800/MAX11802
at maximum clock speed. In falling-edge-driven opera-
tions, the device is less sensitive to board skew contri-
butions, but slower clock speeds are required to meet
the MAX11800/MAX11802 setup time requirements. For
the MAX11800/MAX11802, read patterns output data is
either latched on the rising edge running at maximum
clock rates or on the falling edges running at reduced
clock rates.
During write sequences, the DOUT line is not accessed
by the SPI. DOUT remains high impedance throughout
the command. Using the optional bus holder, the DOUT
line retains the previous value unless altered by a
device sharing the bus.
The MAX11800/MAX11802 SPI interface supports multi-
ple register write operations within a single sequence
as shown in Figure 18. By repeating the address plus
data byte pairs (in write mode), an unlimited number of
registers can be written in a single transfer. Do not per-
mit to combine write and read operations within the
same SPI sequence.

SPI Configuration or
Result Register Read (MAX11800/MAX11802)
Figure 19 shows the read operation sequence for the
MAX11800/MAX11802. A single configuration register
can be read back in a 2-byte operation, composed of a
requested register address (A[6:0], plus a read mode
indicator bit) followed by the data contents from that reg-
ister (D[7:0]).
crement is supported, the next register location is read
back. If not, the last valid register location is read back
(see the Command and Register Map section for the
autoincrement attributes of each register). The following
example shows a valid sequence for the readback of
three register locations (D through D ).
i
i+2
The autoincrement reads only the X, Y, Z1, Z2, and AUX
result registers preventing inadvertent readback of unre-
lated or reserved data locations. For example, if begin-
ning at the XMSB register, a user can cycle through the
XLSB register to the YMSB register and so forth up to the
AUXLSB register. The MAX11800/MAX11802 do not
autoincrement beyond the AUXLSB register. If clock
cycles continue to be given, the AUXLSB register read-
back is repeated.
During read operations, the SPI takes control of the DOUT
line following the eight SCLK rising edge. The SPI retains
control of the DOUT line until CS rises, terminating the
operation. To support multiple register readback opera-
tions, data continues to be ported following the 16th rising
clock edge. For single-byte transfers, this sub-bit informa-
tion can be ignored, shown as S, in Figure 19.
The FIFO register does not autoincrement, which allows
multiple readbacks of the same location. This allows the
access of multiple FIFO memory blocks with a single read
operation. When reading back FIFO registers, data man-
agement is handled in blocks not bytes. As a result, when
an SPI read operation supplies at least one cycle of read-
back of the first byte of a FIFO block, the entire block is
marked as read, regardless of whether the block or even
byte readback is run to completion.
The DOUT output on the MAX11800/MAX11802 includes
an optional bus holder to prevent the DOUT line from
maintaining an indeterminate state when vacated by the
device in the absence of an external bus pullup or bus
sharing devices. The bus holder is designed not to inter-
fere with other drivers sharing the DOUT line and holds
the last valid state of the line, regardless of source.
Disable the bus holder when not needed.
The MAX11800/MAX11802 support the combination of
the DIN and DOUT lines. To avoid data contention and
possible high current states, the master device must relin-
quish control of the combined line at the 8th clock rising
edge, allowing the MAX11800/MAX11802 to access the
line through the end of the sequence. This is terminated
on the rising edge of CS. See the SPI Timing
Characteristics for relevant details.
To illustrate, assume the MAX11800 is in autonomous
mode performing XY conversions and a FIFO readback
is requested starting at register 0x50. Clock cycles 9 to
40 are required to complete the readback of the first
available FIFO block = {XMSB , XLSB , YMSB , YLSB }

39th falling edge or the 40th rising edge. To support a
continued readback of further FIFO blocks, the device
updates the DOUT line to XMSB [7] in response to the
i+1
40th clock rising edge (though block
is not marked
i+1
as read). If the AP supplies a 42nd clock rising edge,
The first data read back is from the start register. The
MAX11800/MAX11802 internal autoincrement counter
manages the data readback in later cycles. If autoin-
the FIFO block , if present, is marked as read, regard-

of nine SCL pulses. The MAX11801/MAX11803 trans-
mits data on SDA in sync with the master-generated
SCL pulses. The master acknowledges receipt of each
byte of data. Each read sequence is framed by a
START (S) or repeated START (Sr) condition, a not-
acknowledge, and a STOP (P) condition. SDA operates
as both an input and an open-drain output.
The sequence in Figures 20 and 21 shows the required
command format for issuing conversion requests. A
conversion request cannot be paired with multiple com-
mands or instructions. Any conversion command
issued while previous commands are being executed is
ignored.
A pullup resistor, typically greater than 500Ω, is
required on SDA. SCL operates only as an input. A
pullup resistor, typically greater than 500Ω, is required
on SCL if there are multiple masters on the bus, or if the
single master has an open-drain SCL output. Series
resistors in line with SDA and SCL are optional. Series
resistors protect the digital inputs of the
MAX11801/MAX11803 from high-voltage spikes on the
bus lines and minimize crosstalk and undershoot of the
bus signals.

I C-Supported Sequence
(MAX11801/MAX11803)
The MAX11801/MAX11803 feature an I2C/SMBus™-
compatible, 2-wire serial interface consisting of a serial-
data line (SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and
SCL facilitate communication between the
MAX11801/MAX11803 and the master at clock rates up
to 400kHz. Figure 22 shows the 2-wire interface timing
diagram. The master generates SCL and initiates data
transfer on the bus.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL cycle. The
data on SDA must remain stable during the high period
of the SCL pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high
are control signals (see the START and STOP
Conditions section).
The master device writes data to the MAX11801/
MAX11803 by transmitting the proper slave address fol-
lowed by the register address and then the data word.
Each transmit sequence is framed by a START (S) or
repeated START (Sr) condition and a STOP (P) condi-
tion. Each word transmitted to the MAX11801/
MAX11803 is 8 bits long and is followed by an acknowl-
edge clock pulse.
START and STOP Conditions
SDA and SCL idle high when the bus is not in use. A
master initiates communication by issuing a START
condition. A START condition is a high-to-low transition

urable through the address input pins A1 and A0. The
LSB is the read/write bit. Setting the R/W bit to 1 config-
ures the MAX11801/MAX11803 for read mode. Setting
the R/W bit to 0 configures the MAX11801/MAX11803
for write mode. The address is the first byte of informa-
tion sent to the MAX11801/MAX11803 after the START
condition. See Figures 25 and 26 for details.

Early STOP Conditions
The MAX11801/MAX11803 recognize a STOP condition
at any point during data transmission, except if the
STOP condition occurs in the same high pulse as a
START condition. For proper operation, do not send a
STOP condition during the same SCL high pulse as the
START condition.

The register addresses are defined as the seven most
significant bits (MSBs) followed by a don’t care bit. The
format is N N N N N N N X, where N is the register
address and X is a don’t care.

master-generated 9th clock pulse if the previous byte is
successfully received. Monitoring ACK allows for detec-
tion of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful
data transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a
system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuc-
cessful data transfer, the bus master retries communica-
tion. The master pulls down SDA during the 9th clock
cycle to acknowledge receipt of data when the
MAX11801/MAX11803 are in read mode. An acknowl-
edge is sent by the master after each read byte to allow
data transfer to continue. A not-acknowledge is sent
when the master reads the final byte of data from the
MAX11801/MAX11803, followed by a STOP condition.
The second byte transmitted from the master config-
ures the MAX11801/MAX11803’s internal register
address pointer. The pointer tells the MAX11801/
MAX11803 where to write the next byte of data. Note
that the MAX11801/MAX11803 use a 7-bit register
pointer format, and the selection should be left-justified
within the register byte (the last bit in the register byte is
a don’t care). An acknowledge pulse is sent by the
MAX11801/MAX11803 upon receipt of the address
pointer data.
The third byte sent to the MAX11801/MAX11803 contains
the data that is written to the chosen register. An
acknowledge pulse from the MAX11801/MAX11803 sig-
nals receipt of the data byte. The MAX11801/
MAX11803 do not support autoincrement in write
mode. However, by repeating multiple register address
byte + data byte pairs (bytes 2 and 3 in Figure 25) the
user can perform multiple register writes within a single
transfer. There is no limit as to how many registers
the user can write with a single command sequence,
but only commands listed as “pairable” can be
sequenced in this manner. For example, the I2C master
can perform multiple register writes to set up all required
conversion options and then issue a separate I2C com-
mand to start a conversion process. Figure 26 illustrates
how to write to multiple registers with one frame. The
master signals the end of transmission by issuing a
STOP condition. Register addresses greater than 0x0B
are reserved. Do not write to these addresses.
Write Data Format
A minimum write sequence to the MAX11801/
MAX11803 includes transmission of a START condition,
the slave address with the R/W bit set to 0, 1 byte of
data to select the internal register address pointer, 1
byte of data written to the selected register, and a
STOP condition. Figure 25 illustrates the proper frame
format for writing 1 byte of data to the MAX11801/
MAX11803. Figure 26 illustrates the frame format for
writing N-bytes of data to the MAX11801/MAX11803.
–MAX1803
The slave address with the R/W bit set to 0 indicates
that the master intends to write data to the

register. If the selected register supports autoincrement,
the register pointer automatically increments after trans-
mitting each data byte, making data in the next register
location available for access in the same transfer. Some
registers do not support autoincrement, usually
because they are at the end of a functional section or,
in the case of the FIFO, store multiple records.
Read Data Format
Send the slave address with the R/W bit set to 1 to initi-
ate a read operation. The MAX11801/MAX11803
acknowledge receipt of its slave address by pulling
SDA low during the 9th SCL clock pulse. Transmitted
data is valid on the rising edge of SCL. A STOP condi-
tion can be issued after any number of read data bytes.
The master acknowledges receipt of each data byte
received from the MAX11801/MAX11803 during the
“acknowledge clock period.” If the master requires
more data from the MAX11801/MAX11803, it brings the
acknowledge line low, indicating more data is expect-
ed. This sequence is repeated until the master termi-
nates with a not-acknowledge (~A) followed by a STOP
condition. Figure 27 illustrates the frame format for
The address pointer should be preset to a specific reg-
ister before a read command is issued. The master pre-
sets the address pointer by first sending the
MAX11801/MAX11803’s slave address with the R/W bit
set to 0 followed by the selected register address. A
repeated START condition is then sent followed by the
slave address with the R/W bit set to 1. The MAX11801/

reading one byte from the MAX11801/MAX11803.
Figure 28 illustrates the frame format for reading multi-
ple bytes from the MAX11801/MAX11803.
Resumed Read Operations
The MAX11801/MAX11803 internal address pointer
autoincrements after each read data byte. This autoin-
crement feature allows all registers to be read sequen-
tially within one continuous frame. A STOP condition
can be issued after any number of read data bytes. If a
readback sequence is stopped, readback can later be
resumed from the current (autoincremented) register
location; it is not necessary to supply the initial register
address and register selection sequence. Users can
simply begin with a START followed by the device slave
address with R/W set high. Following the acknowledge,
data readback commences from the previous register
address (next register address after the first one is suc-
cessfully read). This sequence is designated as a
“streamlined sequence” and is shown in Figure 29.
As previously indicated, the MAX11801/MAX11803
read sequence does not limit how many bytes one can
read. Where allowed, the internal register counter
keeps incrementing as additional bytes are requested,
the first byte out is Reg(N), next byte out is Reg(N+1),
next byte out is Reg(N+2), and so on. The user needs
to track the incremented register address.
Acknowledge pulses from the master are not
required to autoincrement the internal register loca-
tion; the internal register location updates on each
byte. See the register map for details governing the
incrementing of register addresses.
Some registers autoincrement only up to a point (for
example, the X, Y, Z1, Z2, and AUX result registers).
This is to prevent inadvertent readback of unrelated or
reserved data locations. For example, if beginning at
the XMSB register, a user can cycle through the XLSB
register to the YMSB register and so forth up to the
AUXLSB register. The MAX11801/MAX11803 do not
autoincrement beyond the AUXLSB register; if bytes
continue to be given, the AUXLSB register readback is
repeated.
Resumed Read Operation of the FIFO Register
(MAX11801)
If the user accesses the FIFO register (the FIFO does
not autoincrement) and reads several conversion
results and then stops, when returning for more FIFO
data it is only necessary to simply issue the streamlined
readback sequence to continue to gather results from
the FIFO. Thus, once the MAX11801 is placed in
autonomous conversion mode, the user needs only
issue the full readback sequence once for the initial
FIFO access. From this point on, streamlined read
access to the part resumes at the next available FIFO
location (unless an intervening command is issued to
modify the device’s register address pointer).
–MAX1803
Some registers do not autoincrement (for example, the
FIFO register). This is intentional as it allows multiple
readbacks of the same location (in this case, allowing
the user to access multiple FIFO memory blocks with a
single read operation). Note that when reading back
FIFO registers, data management is handled in
blocks (not bytes); thus, if an I2C read operation sup-
plies at least one cycle for readback of the first byte of
a FIFO block, the entire block is marked as read
(regardless of whether the block or even byte read
back is run to completion).
Resumed Read Operation of the Results Registers
(MAX11801/MAX11803)
Likewise, if a user is reading back result registers, the
user can begin with XMSB and autoincrement to XLSB,
and then stop. If the user resumes by simply issuing the
streamlined readback sequence, data readback com-
mences from the YMSB location. This behavior remains
valid unless another direct conversion or configuration
command has been issued (see next).
Streamlined I2C Read Operations
The MAX11801/MAX11803 support several streamlined
readback behaviors for several commands to signifi-
cantly improve data transfer efficiency.

instructions. Any command issued while previous com-
mands are being executed is ignored and the read-
back target register is not modified.
All direct conversion commands automatically set the
readback target register, streamlining data gathering
operations. See the register map for specific details for
all such commands. For example, if the user writes a
command requesting an XY combined measurement,
the MAX11801/MAX11803 automatically set the default
readback register pointer to the XMSB location. Thus, if
the XY command is issued and allowed to complete, it
can then be followed directly by a streamlined read
sequence of the format, as shown in Figure 29, and
newly acquired data is read back, commencing with
the XMSB register.
Command and Register Map
The command map consists of the user-configuration reg-
isters (read/write), TSC data readback commands (read
only), and TSC panel setup and conversion commands
(write only).
User-Accessible Registers
There are six blocks of user-accessible registers and
commands that control all operations of the
MAX11800–MAX11803. The register blocks and com-
mands consist of the following:
Note that accepted direct conversion commands
always modify the current internal register location and
effectively override the resumed readback behaviors
and any register settings made in response to previous-
ly completed direct conversion commands. Users wish-
ing to override this behavior can use still use the
standard readback sequences of the format, as shown
in Figures 28 and 29.
1) Status and Configuration Registers: 00h to 0Bh
• Sets modes of operation––ACM or DCM
• Settings to accommodate various panel sizes
(panel time constant)
• Averaging and noise settings
• Measurement resolution
Read Operations Following Write Operations
• Auxiliary settings
If the streamlined readback sequence is issued follow-
ing a configuration write operation, data readback com-
mences from the last written register location. Thus, if
the user modifies the contents of the Operating Mode
Configuration register (0x0B) using a write sequence
and then issues a streamlined readback sequence, the
contents of register 0x0B are provided.
• General part status reporting
2) FIFO Data Readback Command: 50h
• Autonomous conversion mode (MAX11800/
MAX11801)
• Allows reading FIFO contents when operating in
ACM (MAX11800/MAX11801)
Note that register write operations always modify the
current internal register location and effectively override
the resumed readback behaviors.

Data Readback Commands
• Sets up panel prior to making X, Y, Z1, or Z2 mea-
surements
Autonomous Conversion Mode
–MAX1803
Use the readback command 0x50 to read back available
FIFO data in autonomous conversion modes (AUTO = 1)
(MAX11800/MAX11801). The oldest available data is
read out first. Data blocks vary from 32 to 64 bits in
length, depending on the scan mode selected. Reading
back longer than one block results in reading back the
next available block. The end-of-file indicator (event
tag = 11) is read back when no unread data is available
in the FIFO. This command does not autoincrement and
the register address does not advance beyond 0x50.
See the FIFO Data Block Readback Structure section for
more details.
6) Measurement Commands: 70h to 7Fh
• Performs specified measurement (X, Y, Z1, and/or
Z2)
The commands to read or write the user-accessible
registers are always the same. However, the data for-
2
mat varies based on whether using an SPI or I C inter-
face. Tables 16 and 17 show the differences between
2
SPI and I C protocols. For SPI, the R/W bit is embed-
ded in the 8-bit byte and always occupies the LSB
2
position. For I C, the protocol is always 8-bit byte fol-
lowed by an acknowledge bit, for a total of 9 bits. The
2
2
Direct Conversion Mode
Use the readback commands 0x52 to 0x5B to read
back available measurement data gathered in direct
conversion mode (AUTO = 0). Random data access is
supported within this register space and the commands
autoincrement up to register 0x5B. The register
address does not advance beyond register 0x5B.
Attempting to read back a pending conversion results
in data being tagged invalid. See the Direct Conversion
Mode Operations section for more details.
LSB in I C format is a don’t care. In write mode, for I C,
the LSB is ignored internal to the MAX11800–
MAX11803, so setting it to 0 or 1 has no effect.
Status and Configuration Registers
The status and configuration registers are located in
block 0x00 to 0x0B. See Table 18. All user-configura-
tion register write mode operations are pairable within
2
the SPI/I C interface. Multiple locations can be written
under a single instruction with a register byte followed
by a data. All user-configuration read-mode operations
support autoincrement. For example, if location 0x00 is
read back and more clock pulses are issued, readback
will proceed through location 0x01 and so forth. The
user should set all configuration registers to the desired
values before issuing direct conversion operations or
placing MAX11800/MAX11801 in autonomous mode.
The panel setup and conversion commands are not
pairable in write mode as each command modifies the
panel setting both during and after the command,
based on conversion executions and CONT bit set-
tings. All direct conversion commands modify the
expected I C read register location to support the data
streamlining protocol. Table 21 shows the resulting
read register settings by command type applicable to
2
2
I C variants.

Note 1: Both SPI and I C interfaces use a 7-bit register address format. I C interfaces should left-justify the 7-bit addresses given in
Table 20 (e.g., to access register 50h use the command byte construction {101_0000_X}, where X is a don't care).
Note 2: R0 bit is forced to 1 for panel setup commands, and forced to 0 for combined and AUX commands. For measurement com-
mands it is user selectable. CONT = 0 means perform a measurement without continuation, while CONT = 1 means perform a mea-
surement with continuation. Continuation mode maintains the present panel setup conditions after the conclusion of the
measurement, and can be useful when performing multiple measurements of the same type.
CONT bit impacts the setup of the panel and ADC fol-
lowing the command. For panel setup commands and
combined commands, the user setting of this bit (R0) is
ignored. For these commands, the internal assumption
is shown in parentheses in Table 22.
Panel Setup and
Measurement Commands
TSC conversion commands are only to be used in
direct conversion mode (AUTO = 0). Conversion com-
mands issued during autonomous mode are ignored.
All panel setup and measurement operations are auto-
mated when in autonomous mode (AUTO = 1).
The CONT bit impacts the setup of the panel and/or ADC
following the command (see command descriptions for
details). For some commands, the user setting of this bit
(R0) is ignored; for these commands the internal
assumption is shown in parentheses in Tables 8 and 22.
Commands must be issued in write mode to be execut-
ed. There are two types of commands: panel setup reg-
isters (0x6x) and measurement/conversion registers
(0x7x). All measurement commands indicate that the
ADC is used and the ADC can begin to power up once
the 0x7x header has been recognized. All measure-
ment commands modify the target data register upon
the conclusion of the measurement command. The
By definition, panel setup and measurement com-
mands are NOT pairable in write mode as each com-
mand modifies the panel setting both during the
command and after it (based on conversion executions
and CONT bit settings).

Note: These settings apply to measurement commands, combined commands, and autonomous conversion mode measurements
and provide time for the panel and ADC to settle prior to beginning measurements. During these periods, the panel is set up and the
ADC is powered up. In general, users with long panel settling requirements should minimize time in this mode, using increased
panel setup times instead to save ADC power.

Note: These settings apply to the end of all measurement and combined commands and are required for proper data tagging and
interrupt management. The exception is direct conversion commands with CONT = 1. These commands do not enter PUR/PUF inter-
vals for the purpose of data tagging.
*While 2μs is the minimum PUR interval listed, for this setting, the XPSW is not engaged, allowing for minimal power operation
(essentially adding 2μs to the PUF time).
