Data Sheet
Enhanced Multi-touch Capacitive Touch Screen Controller
General Description
The AP389X is a low-cost high-resolution single chip
solution for APA capacitive touch screen. It is an
8-bit single cycle 8051 microcontroller with I
2
C
Interface. The chip includes 8-bit successive
approximation analog-to-digital converters with an
I
2
C interface and multiplexer-switcher circuits for
flexible measurement of analog signal from APA
panel. An accurate switched-capacitor integrator is
built-in and it can auto calibrate the pixel parameters
for a wide range of capacitance on the touch screen
(0.1pF to 4pF). On-chip capacitor can replace
external component. This touch screen controller
(TSC) with CMOS integration circuit provides an
ideal choice for APA touch panel. The AP389X is
specified over the temperature range of -40°C to
95°C.
The AP389X is available in QFN-7×7-56 (for
AP3890) and QFN-8×8-68 (for AP3891 and AP3892)
packages.
