DESCRIPTION  
The TSC2046E is the next-generation version of the ADS7846 4-wire touch screen controller, supporting a  
low-voltage I/O interface from 1.5 V to 5.25 V. The TSC2046E is 100% pin-compatible with the existing  
ADS7846, and drops into the same socket. This design allows for an easy upgrade of current applications to the  
new version. The TSC2046E also has an on-chip 2.5-V reference that can be used for the auxiliary input, battery  
monitor, and temperature measurement modes. The reference can also be powered down when not used to  
conserve power. The internal reference operates down to a supply voltage of 2.7 V, while monitoring the battery  
voltage from 0 V to 6 V.  
The low power consumption of less than 0.75 mW (typ) at 2.7 V (reference off), high-speed (up to 125-kHz  
sample rate), and on-chip drivers make the TSC2046E an ideal choice for battery-operated systems such as  
personal digital assistants (PDAs) with resistive touch screens, pagers, cellular phones, and other portable  
equipment. The TSC2046E is available in a TSSOP-16 package and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C  
temperature range.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
The TSC2046E is a classic successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The  
architecture is based on capacitive redistribution, which inherently includes a sample-and-hold function. The  
converter is fabricated on a 0.6µm CMOS process.  
The basic operation of the TSC2046E is shown in Figure 1. The device features an internal 2.5-V reference and  
an internal clock. Operation is maintained from a single supply of 2.7 V to 5.25 V. The internal reference can be  
overdriven with an external, low-impedance source between 2 V and +VCC. The value of the reference voltage  
directly sets the input range of the converter.  
The analog input (X-, Y-, and Z-position coordinates, auxiliary inputs, battery voltage, and chip temperature) to  
the converter is provided via a multiplexer. A unique configuration of low on-resistance switches allows an  
unselected ADC input channel to provide power and an accompanying pin to provide ground for an external  
device. By maintaining a differential input to the converter and a differential reference architecture, it is possible  
to negate the error from each touch panel driver switch on-resistance (if this is a source of error for the particular  
measurement).

Analog Input  
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the input multiplexer on the TSC2046E, the differential input of the ADC, and  
the differential reference of the converter. Table 1 and Table 2 show the relationship between the A2, A1, A0,  
and SER/DFR control bits and the configuration of the TSC2046E. The control bits are provided serially via the  
DIN pin—see the Digital Interface section of this data sheet for more details.  
When the converter enters the Hold mode, the voltage difference between the +IN and -IN inputs (see Figure 2)  
is captured on the internal capacitor array. The input current on the analog inputs depends on the conversion  
rate of the device. During the sample period, the source must charge the internal sampling capacitor (typically 25  
pF). After the capacitor has been fully charged, there is no further input current. The amount of charge transfer  
from the analog source to the converter is a function of conversion rate.

Internal Reference  
The TSC2046E has an internal 2.5-V voltage reference that can be turned on or off with the power-down control  
bit, PD1 (see Table 5 and Figure 3). Typically, the internal reference voltage is only used in the single-ended  
mode for battery monitoring, temperature measurement, and for using the auxiliary input. Optimal touch screen  
performance is achieved when using the differential mode. The internal reference voltage of the TSC2046E must  
be commanded to be off to maintain compatibility with the ADS7843. Therefore, after power-up, a write of  
PD1 = 0 is required to ensure the reference is off (see the Typical Characteristics for power-up time of the  
reference from power-down).

Reference Input  
The voltage difference between +REF and -REF (see Figure 2) sets the analog input range. The TSC2046E  
operates with a reference in the range of 1V to +VCC. There are several critical items concerning the reference  
input and its wide voltage range. As the reference voltage is reduced, the analog voltage weight of each digital  
output code (referred to as LSB size) is also reduced. The LSB (least significant bit) size is equal to the  
reference voltage divided by 4096 in 12-bit mode. Any offset or gain error inherent in the ADC appears to  
increase, in terms of LSB size, as the reference voltage is reduced. For example, if the offset of a given  
converter is 2LSBs with a 2.5V reference, it is typically 5LSBs with a 1V reference. In each case, the actual  
offset of the device is the same, 1.22mV. With a lower reference voltage, more care must be taken to provide a  
clean layout including adequate bypassing, a clean (low-noise, low-ripple) power supply, a low-noise reference (if  
an external reference is used), and a low-noise input signal.  
The voltage into the VREF input directly drives the capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) portion of the  
TSC2046E. Therefore, the input current is very low (typically less than 13µA).  
There is also a critical item regarding the reference when making measurements while the switch drivers are ON.  
For this discussion, it is useful to consider the basic operation of the TSC2046E (see Figure 1). This particular  
application shows the device being used to digitize a resistive touch screen. A measurement of the current  
Y-Position of the pointing device is made by connecting the X+ input to the ADC, turning on the Y+ and Y-  
drivers, and digitizing the voltage on X+ (Figure 4 shows a block diagram). For this measurement, the resistance  
in the X+ lead does not affect the conversion (it does affect the settling time, but the resistance is usually small  
enough that this is not a concern). However, because the resistance between Y+ and Y- is fairly low, the  
on-resistance of the Y drivers does make a small difference. Under the situation outlined so far, it is not possible  
to achieve a 0V input or a full-scale input regardless of where the pointing device is on the touch screen because  
some voltage is lost across the internal switches. In addition, the internal switch resistance is unlikely to track the  
resistance of the touch screen, providing an additional source of error.

This situation can be remedied as shown in Figure 5. By setting the SER/DFR bit low, the +REF and -REF inputs  
are connected directly to Y+ and Y-, respectively, making the analog-to-digital conversion ratiometric. The result  
of the conversion is always a percentage of the external resistance, regardless of how it changes in relation to  
the on-resistance of the internal switches. Note that there is an important consideration regarding power  
dissipation when using the ratiometric mode of operation (see the Power Dissipation section for more details).

As a final note about the differential reference mode, it must be used with +VCCas the source of the +REF  
voltage and cannot be used with VREF. It is possible to use a high-precision reference on VREF and single-ended  
reference mode for measurements that do not need to be ratiometric. In some cases, it is possible to power the  
converter directly from a precision reference. Most references can provide enough power for the TSC2046E, but  
might not be able to supply enough current for the external load (such as a resistive touch screen).

Touch Screen Settling  
In some applications, external capacitors may be required across the touch screen for filtering noise picked up by  
the touch screen (for example, noise generated by the LCD panel or backlight circuitry). These capacitors  
provide a low-pass filter to reduce the noise, but cause a settling time requirement when the panel is touched  
that typically shows up as a gain error. There are several methods for minimizing or eliminating this issue. The  
problem is that the input and/or reference has not settled to the final steady-state value prior to the ADC  
sampling the input(s) and providing the digital output. Additionally, the reference voltage may still be changing  
during the measurement cycle. Option 1 is to stop or slow down the TSC2046E DCLK for the required touch  
screen settling time. This option allows the input and reference to have stable values for the Acquire period (3  
clock cycles of the TSC2046E; see Figure 9). This option works for both the single-ended and the differential  
modes. Option 2 is to operate the TSC2046E in the differential mode only for the touch screen measurements  
and command the TSC2046E to remain on (touch screen drivers ON) and not go into power-down (PD0 = 1).  
Several conversions are made, depending on the settling time required and the TSC2046E data rate. Once the  
required number of conversions have been made, the processor commands the TSC2046E to go into its  
power-down state on the last measurement. This process is required for X-Position, Y-Position, and Z-Position  
measurements. Option 3 is to operate in the 15 Clock-per-Conversion mode, which overlaps the analog-to-digital  
conversions and maintains the touch screen drivers on until commanded to stop by the processor (see  
Figure 13).  
Temperature Measurement  
In some applications, such as battery recharging, a measurement of ambient temperature is required. The  
temperature measurement technique used in the TSC2046E relies on the characteristics of a semiconductor  
junction operating at a fixed current level. The forward diode voltage (VBE) has a well-defined characteristic  
versus temperature. The ambient temperature can be predicted in applications by knowing the +25°C value of  
the VBEvoltage and then monitoring the delta of that voltage as the temperature changes. The TSC2046E offers  
two modes of operation. The first mode requires calibration at a known temperature, but only requires a single  
reading to predict the ambient temperature. A diode is used (turned on) during this measurement cycle. The  
voltage across the diode is connected through the MUX for digitizing the forward bias voltage by the ADC with an  
address of A2 = 0, A1 = 0, and A0 = 0 (see Table 1 and Figure 6 for details). This voltage is typically 600mV at  
+25°C with a 20µA current through the diode. The absolute value of this diode voltage can vary by a few  
millivolts. However, the temperature coefficient (TC) of this voltage is very consistent at -2.1mV/°C. During the  
final test of the end product, the diode voltage would be stored at a known room temperature, in memory, for  
calibration purposes by the user. The result is an equivalent temperature measurement resolution of 0.3°C/LSB  
(in 12-bit mode).

The second mode of operation does not require a test temperature calibration, but uses a two-measurement  
method to eliminate the need for absolute temperature calibration and for achieving 2°C accuracy. This mode  
requires a second conversion with an address of A2 = 1, A1 = 1, and A0 = 1, with a 91 times larger current. The  
voltage difference between the first and second conversion using 91 times the bias current is represented by  
Equation 1:  
kT  
ΔV =  
× ln(N)  
q
(1)  
where:  
N = the current ratio = 91  
k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.3807 × 10-23 J/K (joules/kelvin)  
q = the electron charge = 1.6022 × 10-19 C (coulombs)  
T = the temperature in kelvin (K)  
This method can provide improved absolute temperature measurement, but at a lower resolution of 1.6°C/LSB.  
The resulting equation that solves for T is:  
q - DV  
T =  
k × ln(N)  
(2)  
where:  
ΔV = VBE(TEMP1) - VBE(TEMP0) (in mV)  
\ T = 2.573 × ΔV (in K)  
or T = 2.573 × ΔV - 273 (in °C)  
NOTE  
The bias current for each diode temperature measurement is only on for three clock  
cycles (during the acquisition mode) and, therefore, does not add any noticeable increase  
in power, especially if the temperature measurement only occurs occasionally.  
Battery Measurement  
An added feature of the TSC2046E is the ability to monitor the battery voltage on the other side of the voltage  
regulator (dc/dc converter), as shown in Figure 7. The battery voltage can vary from 0V to 6V, while maintaining  
the voltage to the TSC2046E at 2.7V, 3.3V, etc. The input voltage (VBAT) is divided down by four so that a 5.5V  
battery voltage is represented as 1.375V to the ADC. This design simplifies the multiplexer and control logic. In  
order to minimize the power consumption, the divider is only on during the sampling period when A2 = 0, A1 = 1,  
and A0 = 0 (see Table 1 for the relationship between the control bits and configuration of the TSC2046E).

Pressure Measurement  
Measuring touch pressure can also be done with the TSC2046E. To determine pen or finger touch, the pressure  
of the touch needs to be determined. Generally, it is not necessary to have very high performance for this test;  
therefore, the 8-bit resolution mode is recommended (however, calculations shown here are in the 12-bit  
resolution mode). There are several different ways of performing this measurement. The TSC2046E supports two  
methods. The first method requires knowing the X-plate resistance, measurement of the X-Position, and two  
additional cross panel measurements (Z1 and Z2) of the touch screen, as shown in Figure 8. Using Equation 3

Digital Interface  
See Figure 9 for the typical operation of the TSC2046E digital interface. This diagram assumes that the source of  
the digital signals is a microcontroller or digital signal processor with a basic serial interface. Each  
communication between the processor and the converter, such as SPI, SSI, or Microwire™ synchronous serial  
interface, consists of eight clock cycles. One complete conversion can be accomplished with three serial  
communications for a total of 24 clock cycles on the DCLK input.  
Control Byte  
The control byte (on DIN), as shown in Table 3, provides the start conversion, addressing, ADC resolution,  
configuration, and power-down of the TSC2046E. Figure 9, Table 3 and Table 4 give detailed information  
regarding the order and description of these control bits within the control byte.  
Initiate START—The first bit, the S bit, must always be high and initiates the start of the control byte. The  
TSC2046E ignores inputs on the DIN pin until the start bit is detected.  
Addressing—The next three bits (A2, A1, and A0) select the active input channel(s) of the input multiplexer (see  
Table 1, Table 2, and Figure 2), touch screen drivers, and the reference inputs.  
MODE—The mode bit sets the resolution of the ADC. With this bit low, the next conversion has 12-bit resolution,  
whereas with this bit high, the next conversion has 8-bit resolution.  
SER/DFR—The SER/DFR bit controls the reference mode, either single-ended (high) or differential (low). The  
differential mode is also referred to as the ratiometric conversion mode and is preferred for X-Position,  
Y-Position, and Pressure-Touch measurements for optimum performance. The reference is derived from the  
voltage at the switch drivers, which is almost the same as the voltage to the touch screen. In this case, a  
reference voltage is not needed as the reference voltage to the ADC is the voltage across the touch screen. In  
the single-ended mode, the converter reference voltage is always the difference between the VREF and GND pins  
(see Table 1 and Table 2, and Figure 2 through Figure 5, for further information).

No DCLK Delay Required With Dedicated Serial Port  
If X-Position, Y-Position, and Pressure-Touch are measured in the single-ended mode, an external reference  
voltage is needed. The TSC2046E must also be powered from the external reference. Caution should be  
observed when using the single-ended mode such that the input voltage to the ADC does not exceed the internal  
reference voltage, especially if the supply voltage is greater than 2.7V.  
NOTE  
The differential mode can only be used for X-Position, Y-Position, and Pressure-Touch  
measurements. All other measurements require the single-ended mode.  
PD0 and PD1Table 5 describes the power-down and the internal reference voltage configurations. The internal  
reference voltage can be turned on or off independently of the ADC. This feature can allow extra time for the  
internal reference voltage to settle to the final value prior to making a conversion. Make sure to also allow this  
extra wake-up time if the internal reference is powered down. The ADC requires no wake-up time and can be  
instantaneously used. Also note that the status of the internal reference power-down is latched into the part  
(internally) with BUSY going high. In order to turn the reference off, an additional write to the TSC2046E is  
required after the channel has been converted.

In most of the TSC2046E models, the internal pullup resistor value is nominally 50kΩ, but this value may vary  
between 36kΩ and 67kΩ given process and temperature variations. In order to assure a logic low of 0.35 (+VCC  
)
is presented to the PENIRQ circuitry, the total resistance between the X+ and Y- terminals must be less than  
21kΩ.

Figure 10. PENIRQ Functional Block Diagram  
The -90 version of the TSC2046E uses a nominal 90kΩ pullup resistor that allows the total resistance between  
the X+ and Y- terminals to be as high as 30kΩ. Note that the higher pullup resistance causes a slower response  
time of the PENIRQ to a screen touch, so user software should take this into account.  
The PENIRQ output goes low due to the current path through the touch screen to ground, initiating an interrupt to  
the processor. During the measurement cycle for X-, Y-, and Z-Position, the X+ input is disconnected from the  
PENIRQ internal pull-up resistor. This disconnection is done to eliminate any leakage current from the internal  
pull-up resistor through the touch screen, thus causing no errors.  
Furthermore, the PENIRQ output is disabled and low during the measurement cycle for X-, Y-, and Z-Position.  
The PENIRQ output is disabled and high during the measurement cycle for battery monitor, auxiliary input, and  
chip temperature. If the last control byte written to the TSC2046E contains PD0 = 1, the pen-interrupt output  
function is disabled and is not able to detect when the screen is touched. In order to re-enable the pen-interrupt  
output function under these circumstances, a control byte needs to be written to the TSC2046E with PD0 = 0. If  
the last control byte written to the TSC2046E contains PD0 = 0, the pen-interrupt output function is enabled at  
the end of the conversion. The end of the conversion occurs on the falling edge of DCLK after bit 1 of the  
converted data is clocked out of the TSC2046E.  
It is recommended that the processor mask the interrupt that PENIRQ is associated with whenever the processor  
sends a control byte to the TSC2046E. This masking prevents false triggering of interrupts when the PENIRQ  
output is disabled in the cases discussed in this section.  
16 Clocks-per-Conversion  
The control bits for conversion n + 1 can be overlapped with conversion n to allow for a conversion every 16  
clock cycles, as shown in Figure 11. This figure also shows possible serial communication occurring with other  
serial peripherals between each byte transfer from the processor to the converter. (16 clocks cycles are possible,  
provided that each conversion completes within 1.6ms of starting. Otherwise, the signal that is captured on the  
input sample-and-hold may droop enough to affect the conversion result.) Note that the TSC2046E is fully  
powered while other serial communications are taking place during a conversion.

15 Clocks-per-Conversion  
Figure 13 provides the fastest way to clock the TSC2046E. This method does not work with the serial interface of  
most microcontrollers and digital signal processors, as they are generally not capable of providing 15 clock  
cycles per serial transfer. However, this method can be used with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or  
application- specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Note that this effectively increases the maximum conversion rate  
of the converter beyond the values given in the specification tables, which assume 16 clock cycles per  
conversion.

8-Bit Conversion  
The TSC2046E provides an 8-bit conversion mode that can be used when faster throughput is needed and the  
digital result is not as critical. By switching to the 8-bit mode, a conversion is complete four clock cycles earlier.  
Not only does this shorten each conversion by four bits (25% faster throughput), but each conversion can  
actually occur at a faster clock rate. This faster rate occurs because the internal settling time of the TSC2046E is  
not as critical—settling to better than 8 bits is all that is needed. The clock rate can be as much as 50% faster.  
The faster clock rate and fewer clock cycles combine to provide a 2x increase in conversion rate.

Power Dissipation  
There are two major power modes for the TSC2046E: full-power (PD0 = 1) and auto power-down (PD0 = 0).  
When operating at full speed and 16 clocks-per-conversion (see Figure 11), the TSC2046E spends most of the  
time acquiring or converting. There is little time for auto power-down, assuming that this mode is active.  
Therefore, the difference between full-power mode and auto power-down is negligible. If the conversion rate is  
decreased by slowing the frequency of the DCLK input, the two modes remain approximately equal. However, if  
the DCLK frequency is kept at the maximum rate during a conversion but conversions are done less often, the  
difference between the two modes is dramatic.  
Figure 15 shows the difference between reducing the DCLK frequency (scaling DCLK to match the conversion  
rate) or maintaining DCLK at the highest frequency and reducing the number of conversions per second. In the  
latter case, the converter spends an increasing percentage of time in power-down mode (assuming the auto  
power-down mode is active).

Another important consideration for power dissipation is the reference mode of the converter. In the single-ended  
reference mode, the touch panel drivers are ON only when the analog input voltage is being acquired (see  
Figure 9 and Table 1). The external device (for example, a resistive touch screen), therefore, is only powered  
during the acquisition period. In the differential reference mode, the external device must be powered throughout  
the acquisition and conversion periods (see Figure 9). If the conversion rate is high, it could substantially  
increase power dissipation.  
CS also puts the TSC2046E into power-down mode. When CS goes high, the TSC2046E immediately goes into  
power-down mode and does not complete the current conversion. The internal reference, however, does not turn  
off with CS going high. To turn the reference off, an additional write is required before CS goes high (PD1 = 0).  
When the TSC2046E first powers up, the device draws about 20µA of current until a control byte is written to it  
with PD0 = 0 to put it into power-down mode. This current draw can be avoided if the TSC2046E is powered up  
with CS = 0 and DCLK = IOVDD.

Layout  
The following layout suggestions provide the most optimum performance from the TSC2046E. Many portable  
applications, however, have conflicting requirements concerning power, cost, size, and weight. In general, most  
portable devices have fairly clean power and grounds because most of the internal components are very low  
power. This situation means less bypassing for the converter power and less concern regarding grounding. Still,  
each situation is unique and the following suggestions should be reviewed carefully.  
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the TSC2046E circuitry. The basic  
SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the power supply, reference, ground connections,  
and digital inputs that occur just prior to latching the output of the analog comparator. Therefore, during any  
single conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n windows in which large external transient voltages can  
easily affect the conversion result. Such glitches can originate from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic,  
and high-power devices. The degree of error in the digital output depends on the reference voltage, layout, and  
the exact timing of the external event. The error can change if the external event changes in time with respect to  
the DCLK input.  
Because of the SAR architecture sensitvity, power to the TSC2046E should be clean and well bypassed. A 0.1µF  
ceramic bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible. A 1µF to 10µF capacitor may also  
be needed if the impedance of the connection between +VCC or IOVDD and the power supplies is high.  
Low-leakage capacitors should be used to minimize power dissipation through the bypass capacitors when the  
TSC2046E is in power-down mode.  
A bypass capacitor is generally not needed on the VREF pin because the internal reference is buffered by an  
internal op amp. If an external reference voltage originates from an op amp, make sure that it can drive any  
bypass capacitor that is used without oscillation.  
The TSC2046E architecture offers no inherent rejection of noise or voltage variation in regards to using an  
external reference input. This is of particular concern when the reference input is tied to the power supply. Any  
noise and ripple from the supply appears directly in the digital results. Whereas high-frequency noise can be  
filtered out, voltage variation bacause of line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) can be difficult to remove.  
The GND pin must be connected to a clean ground point. In many cases, this is the analog ground. Avoid  
connections which are too near the grounding point of a microcontroller or digital signal processor. If needed, run  
a ground trace directly from the converter to the power-supply entry or battery connection point. The ideal layout  
includes an analog ground plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog circuitry.  
In the specific case of use with a resistive touch screen, care should be taken with the connection between the  
converter and the touch screen. Although resistive touch screens have fairly low resistance, the interconnection  
should be as short and robust as possible. Longer connections are a source of error, much like the on-resistance  
of the internal switches. Likewise, loose connections can be a source of error when the contact resistance  
changes with flexing or vibrations.  
As indicated previously, noise can be a major source of error in touch screen applications (such as in  
applications that require a backlit LCD panel). This EMI noise can be coupled through the LCD panel to the touch  
screen and cause flickering of the converted data. Several things can be done to reduce this error; for instance,  
using a touch screen with a bottom-side metal layer connected to ground to shunt the majority of noise to  
ground. Additionally, filtering capacitors from Y+, Y-, X+, and X- pins to ground can also help. Caution should be  
observed under these circumstances for settling time of the touch screen, especially operating in the  
single-ended mode and at high data rates.
