AK4185
Low Power Touch Screen Controller with SPI™ Interface
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK4185 is a 4-wire/ 5-wire resistive touch screen controller that incorporates 12bit SAR A/D
converter. The AK4185 operates down to 1.6V supply voltage in order to connect a low voltage
microprocessor. The AK4185 can detect the pressed screen location by performing two A/D conversions
and it can also measure touch pressure. The AK4185 is the best fit for cellular phone, DSC, DVC, smart
phone, or other portable devices.

Function
Serial Data Input
Data is clocked on the rising edge of SCLK. Must keep “L” while not issuing
command.
Chip Select Input
Enables writing data to registers when CSN = “L”.
Serial Clock Input
Power Supply and External Reference Input: 1.6V ~ 3.6V
Touch Panel X+ Input (4-wire, PANEL bit = “0”)
Touch Panel Bottom Right Input (5-wire, PANEL bit = “1”)
Touch Panel Y+ Input (4-wire, PANEL bit = “0”)
Touch Panel Top Right Input (5-wire, PANEL bit = “1”)
Touch Panel X- Input (4-wire, PANEL bit = “0”)
Touch Panel Top Left Input (5-wire, PANEL bit = “1”)
Touch Panel Y- Input (4-wire, PANEL bit = “0”)
Touch Panel Bottom Right Input (5-wire, PANEL bit = “1”)
Ground
Auxiliary Analog Input (4-wire, PANEL bit = “0”)
Top Touch Panel Input (5-wire, PANEL bit = “1”)
Pen Interrupt Output (CMOS output)
The PENIRQN pin is “L” when touch-screen press is detected and CSN = “H”. This
pin is always “H” irrespective of touch-screen press when pen interrupt is not
enabled.
Serial A/D Data Output
Data is clocked at SCLK falling edge. This pin is Hi-Z when CSN keeps “H”.

Note 4. “Ideal” value derived from a theory when VDD = 1.8V. This value according to the supplied VDD voltage is
0.6466 x VDD.
Note 5. The typical value has +6°C(typ) offset.
Note 6. The signal of 1kHz, 1.6Vpp (-1dB) is input to the IN/WIPER pin, when COUNT bit = “0”, INTERVAL = 0µs and
command cycle is 50µs. DOUT C
L
= 0pF, the current of touch panel drivers is excluded.
Note 7. The signal of 1kHz, 1.6Vpp (-1dB) is input to the IN/WIPER pin, when Single Mode for external clock
(CONTINUE bit = “0”) and 15 SCLK clock cycles. DOUT C
L
