PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7873 features direct battery measurement, temperature
measurement, and touch pressure measurement. The AD7873
also has an on-board reference of 2.5 V that can be used for the
auxiliary input, battery monitor, and temperature measurement
modes. When not in use, the internal reference can be shut
down to conserve power. An external reference can also be
applied and can be varied from 1 V to VCC and the analog input
range is from 0 V to VREF. The device includes a shutdown
mode that reduces the current consumption to less than 1 μA.
1. Ratiometric conversion mode available, eliminating errors
due to on-board switch resistances.
2. On-board temperature sensor: −40°C to +85°C.
3. Battery monitor input.
4. Touch pressure measurement capability.
5. Low power consumption of 1.37 mW maximum with the
reference off, or 2.41 mW typical with the reference on, at
125 kSPS and VCC at 3.6 V.
The AD7873 features on-board switches. This, coupled with low
power and high speed operation, makes the device ideal for
battery-powered systems such as personal digital assistants with
resistive touch screens and other portable equipment. The part
is available in a 16-lead, 0.15" quarter size outline package
(QSOP), a 16-lead, thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP),
and a 16-lead, lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
6. Package options include 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP.
7. Analog input range from 0 V to VREF
8. Versatile serial I/O ports.

1 Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VCC) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2 Mark/space ratio for the DCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.
3 Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 2.0 V.
4 t12 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t12, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
Gain Error
Integral nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition.
Gain error is the deviation of the last code transition (111…110)
to (111…111) from the ideal (that is, VREF – 1 LSB) after the
offset error is adjusted out.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier enters the acquisition phase on
the fifth falling edge of DCLK after the start bit has been
detected. Three DCLK cycles are allowed for the track-and-hold
acquisition time. The input signal is fully acquired to the 12-bit
level within this time even with the maximum specified DCLK
frequency. See the Analog Input section for more details.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in
the ADC.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the first code transition (00…000)
to (00…001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
On Resistance
On resistance is a measure of the ohmic resistance between the
drain and source of the switch drivers.

AD7873
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7873 is a fast, low power, 12-bit, single-supply analog-
to-digital converter (ADC). The AD7873 can be operated from
a 2.2 V to 5.25 V supply. When operated from either a 5 V
supply or a 3 V supply, the AD7873 is capable of throughput
rates of 125 kSPS when provided with a 2 MHz clock.

The AD7873 provides the user with on-chip track-and-hold,
multiplexer, ADC, reference, temperature sensor, and serial
interface, housed in a tiny 16-lead QSOP, TSSOP, or LFCSP
package, offering the user considerable space-saving advantages
over alternative solutions. The serial clock input (DCLK)
accesses data from the part and also provides the clock source
for the successive approximation ADC. The analog input range
is 0 V to VREF (where the externally applied VREF can be between
1 V and +VCC). The AD7873 has a 2.5 V reference on-board
with this reference voltage available for use externally if buffered.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 25 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7873
in a touch screen control application. The AD7873 features an
internal reference, but this can be overdriven with an external
low impedance source between 1 V and +VCC. The value of the
reference voltage sets the input range of the converter. The
conversion result is output MSB first, followed by the remaining
11 bits and three trailing zeros, depending on the number of
clocks used per conversion (see the Serial Interface section). For
applications where power consumption is a concern, the power
management option should be used to improve power perform-
ance. See Table 8 for available power management options.
The analog input to the ADC is provided via an on-chip
multiplexer. This analog input can be any one of the X, Y, and Z
panel coordinates, the battery voltage, or the chip temperature.
The multiplexer is configured with low resistance switches that
allow an unselected ADC input channel to provide power and
an accompanying pin to provide ground for an external device.
For some measurements, the on resistance of the switches could
present a source of error. However, with a differential input to
the converter and a differential reference architecture, this error
can be negated.
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7873 is straight binary. The
designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values
(that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on). The LSB size is VREF/4096.
The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7873 is shown in
Figure 24.

When the converter enters hold mode, the voltage difference
between the +IN and –IN inputs (see Figure 26) 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 37 pF). Once the capacitor is fully charged,
there is no further input current. The rate of charge transfer
from the analog source to the converter is a function of
conversion rate.

Acquisition Time
however, a 0.1 μF capacitor on the VREF pin is recommended for
optimum performance because it affects the power-up time (see
Figure 20).
The track-and-hold amplifier enters tracking mode on the
falling edge of the fifth DCLK after the start bit is detected (see
Figure 35). The time required for the track-and-hold amplifier
to acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the 37 pF
input capacitance is charged. With zero source impedance on
the analog input, three DCLK cycles are always sufficient to
acquire the signal to the 12-bit level. With a source impedance
(RIN) on the analog input, the actual acquisition time required is
calculated using the formula:

where RIN is the source impedance of the input signal, and 100 ꢀ,

the analog input signal with various source impedance values.
Figure 27. On-Chip Reference Circuitry
Reference Input
Touch Screen Settling
The voltage difference between +REF and −REF (see Figure 26)
sets the analog input range. The AD7873 operates with a refer-
ence input in the range of 1 V to +VCC. Figure 27 shows the
on-chip reference circuitry on the AD7873. The internal
reference on the AD7873 can be overdriven with an external
reference; for best performance, however, the internal reference
should be disabled when an external reference is applied,
because SW1 in Figure 27 opens on the AD7873 when the
internal reference is disabled. The on-chip reference always is
available at the VREF pin as long as the reference is enabled. The
input impedance seen at the VREF pin is approximately
260 ꢀ when the internal reference is enabled. When it is
disabled, the input impedance seen at the VREF pin is in the
GΩ region.
In some applications, external capacitors could be required
across the touch screen to filter noise associated with it, for
example, noise generated by the LCD panel or backlight
circuitry. The value of these capacitors causes a settling time
requirement when the panel is touched. The settling time
typically appears as a gain error. There are several methods for
minimizing or eliminating this issue. The problem can be that
the input signal, reference, or both, have not settled to their
final value before the sampling instant of the ADC. Additionally,
the reference voltage could still be changing during the conversion
cycle. One option is to stop or slow down the DCLK for the
required touch screen settling time. This allows the input and
reference to stabilize for the acquisition time, resolving the issue
for both single-ended and differential modes.
When making touch screen measurements, conversions can be
made in differential (ratiometric) mode or single-ended mode.
The other option is to operate the AD7873 in differential mode
only for the touch screen, and program the AD7873 to keep
the touch screen drivers on and not go into power-down
(PD0 = PD1 = 1). Several conversions could be required,
depending on the settling time required and the AD7873 data
rate. Once the required number of conversions have been made,
the AD7873 can then be placed in a power-down state on the
last measurement. The last method is to use the 15-DCLK cycle
mode, maintaining the touch screen drivers on until it is
commanded by the processor to stop.
If the SER/
bit is set to 1 in the control register, then a
DFR
single-ended conversion is performed. Figure 28 shows the
configuration for a single-ended Y coordinate measurement.
The X+ input is connected to the analog-to-digital converter,
the Y+ and Y− drivers are turned on, and the voltage on X+ is
digitized. The conversion is performed with the ADC referenced
from GND to VREF. This VREF is either the on-chip reference or
the voltage applied at the VREF pin externally, and is determined
by the setting of the power management Bit PD0 and Bit PD1
(see Table 7). The advantage of this mode is that the switches
that supply the external touch screen can be turned off once the
acquisition is complete, resulting in a power savings. However,
the on resistance of the Y drivers affects the input voltage that
can be acquired. The full touch screen resistance could be in the
order of 200 ꢀ to 900 ꢀ, depending on the manufacturer. Thus,
if the on resistance of the switches is approximately 6 ꢀ, true
full-scale and zero-scale voltages cannot be acquired, regardless
of where the pen/stylus is on the touch screen. Note that the
minimum touch screen resistance recommended for use with
Internal Reference
The AD7873 has an internal reference voltage of 2.5 V. The
internal reference is available on the VREF pin for external use in
the system; however, it must be buffered before it is applied
elsewhere. The on-chip reference can be turned on or off with
the power-down address, PD1 = 1 (see Table 8 and Figure 27).
Typically, the reference voltage is only used in 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 power-up
Rev. E | Page 15 of 28
AD7873
the AD7873 is approximately 70 ꢀ. In this mode of operation,
therefore, some voltage is likely to be lost across the internal
switches, and it is unlikely that the internal switch resistance
will track the resistance of the touch screen over temperature
and supply, providing an additional source of error.
In the single conversion method, a diode voltage is digitized
and recorded at a fixed calibration temperature. Any subsequent
polling of the diode provides an estimate of the ambient tempera-
ture through extrapolation from the calibration temperature
diode result. This assumes a diode temperature drift of
approximately –2.1 mV/°C. This method provides a resolution

of approximately 0.3°C and a predicted accuracy of 3°C.

The differential conversion method is a two-point measurement.
The first measurement is performed with a fixed bias current
into a diode, and the second measurement is performed with a
fixed multiple of the bias current into the same diode. The
voltage difference in the diode readings is proportional to
absolute temperature and is given by the following formula:

Again, making a Y coordinate measurement is considered, but
now the +REF and –REF nodes of the ADC are connected
directly to the Y+ and Y– pins. This means the analog-to-digital
conversion is ratiometric. The result of the conversion is always
a percentage of the external resistance, independent of how it
could change with respect to the on resistance of the internal
switches. Figure 29 shows the configuration for a ratiometric

AD7873
Battery Measurement
Pressure Measurement
The AD7873 can monitor a battery voltage from 0 V to 6 V.
Figure 31 shows a block diagram of a battery voltage monitored
through the VBAT pin. The voltage to the +VCC of the AD7873 is
maintained at the desired supply voltage via the dc-to-dc
regulator while the input to the regulator is monitored. This
voltage on VBAT is divided by 4 so that a 6 V battery voltage is
presented to the ADC as 1.5 V. To conserve power, the divider is
on only during the sampling of a voltage on VBAT. Table 6 shows
the control bit settings required to perform a battery
measurement.
The pressure applied to the touch screen via a pen or finger
can also be measured with the AD7873 with some simple
calculations. The 8-bit resolution mode would be sufficient for
this measurement, but the following calculations are shown
with the 12-bit resolution mode. The contact resistance between
the X and Y plates is measured, providing a good indication of
the size of the depressed area and the applied pressure. The area
of the spot touched is proportional to the size of the object
touching it. The size of this resistance (RTOUCH) can be calculated
using two different methods.
DC/DC
The first method requires the user to know the total resistance
of the X-plate tablet. Three touch screen conversions are
required, a measurement of the X-position, Z1-position, and
Z2-position (see Figure 32). The following equation calculates
the touch resistance:

converter is always the difference between the VREF and GND
pins. See Table 6 and Figure 26 through Figure 29 for further
information.
If X-position, Y-position, and pressure touch are measured in
single-ended mode, an external reference voltage or +VCC is
required for maximum dynamic range. The internal reference
can be used for these single-ended measurements; however, a
loss in dynamic range is incurred. If an external reference is
used, the AD7873 should also be powered from the external
reference. Because the supply current required by the device is
so low, a precision reference can be used as the supply source to
the AD7873. It might also be necessary to power the touch
screen from the reference, which can require 5 mA to 10 mA. A
REF19x voltage reference can source up to 30 mA, and, as such,
could supply both the ADC and the touch screen. Care must be
taken, however, to ensure that the input voltage applied to the
ADC does not exceed the reference voltage and therefore the
supply voltage. See the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
Initiate START
The first bit, the S bit, must always be set to 1 to initiate the start
of the control word. The AD7873 ignores any inputs on the
DIN line until the start bit is detected.
Channel Addressing
The next three bits in the control register, A2, A1, and A0, select
the active input channel(s) of the input multiplexer (see Table 6
and Figure 26), touch screen drivers, and the reference inputs.
Mode
The MODE bit sets the resolution of the analog-to-digital
converter. With a 0 in this bit, the following conversion has
12 bits of resolution. With a 1 in this bit, the following
conversion has eight bits of resolution.
Note that the differential mode can only be used for X-position,
Y-position, and pressure touch measurements. All other
measurements require single-ended mode.

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 separate reference voltage is not needed because the
reference voltage to the ADC is the voltage across the touch
The power management options are selected by programming
the power management bits, PD0 and PD1, in the control
register. Table 8 summarizes the options available and the
internal reference voltage configurations. The internal reference
can be turned on or off independent of the analog-to-digital
converter, allowing power saving between conversions using the
power management options. On power-up, PD0 defaults to 0,
while PD1 defaults to 1.

Enabled This configuration results in immediate power-down of the on-chip reference as soon as PD1 is set to 0. The ADC
powers down only between conversions. When PD0 is set to 0, the conversion is performed first and the ADC
powers down upon completion of that conversion (or upon the rising edge of CS, if it occurs first). At the start of
the next conversion, the ADC instantly powers up to full power. This means if the device is being used in the
differential mode, or an external reference is used, there is no need for additional delays to ensure full operation
and the very first conversion is valid. The Y– switch is on while in power-down. When the device is performing
differential table conversions, the reference and reference buffer do not attempt to power up with Bit PD1 and
Bit PD0 programmed in this way.

Enabled This configuration results in switching the reference on and powering the ADC down between conversions. The
ADC powers down only between conversions. When PD0 is set to 0, the conversion is performed first, and the
ADC powers down upon completion of the conversion (or upon the rising edge of CS if it occurs first). At the start
of the next conversion, the ADC instantly powers up to full power. There is no need for additional delays to ensure
full operation as the reference remains permanently powered up.

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS and a DCLK
of 2 MHz, and the device is placed in the power-down mode
between conversions, (PD0, PD1 = 0, 0), that is, the ADC shuts
down between conversions but the reference remains powered
down permanently, then the current consumption is calculated
as follows. The current consumption during normal operation
with a 2 MHz DCLK is 210 μA (VCC = 2.7 V). Assuming an
external reference is used, the power-up time of the ADC is
instantaneous, so when the part is converting, it consumes
210 μA. In this mode of operation, the part powers up on the
fourth falling edge of DCLK after the start bit is recognized. It
goes back into power-down at the end of conversion on the
20th falling edge of DCLK, meaning that the part consumes
210 μA for 16 DCLK cycles only, 8 μs during each conversion
cycle. If the throughput rate is 10 kSPS, the cycle time is 100 μs
and the average power dissipated during each cycle is
By using the power-down options on the AD7873 when not
converting, the average power consumption of the device
decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 35 shows how, as the
throughput rate is reduced while maintaining the DCLK
frequency at 2 MHz, the device remains in its power-down state
longer and the average current consumption over time drops
accordingly.

The next 12 DCLK cycles are used to perform the conversion

to the control register via the DIN pin. The control register is
updated in stages as each bit is clocked in. Once the converter

the input multiplexer and switches appropriately, the converter
enters the acquisition mode and, if required, the internal switches

bursts of eight clock cycles from a microcontroller.

using 12 DCLKs to perform the conversion and 3 DCLKs to
acquire the analog input. This effectively increases the
throughput rate of the AD7873 beyond that used for the
specifications that are tested using 16 DCLKs per cycle, and
DCLK = 2 MHz.
16 Clocks per Cycle
The control bits for the next conversion can be overlapped with
the current conversion to allow for a conversion every 16 DCLK
cycles, as shown in Figure 38. This timing diagram also allows
the possibility of communication with other serial peripherals
between each byte (eight DCLKs) transfer between the
8-Bit Conversion
processor and the converter. However, the conversion must
complete within a short enough time frame to avoid capacitive
droop effects that could distort the conversion result. It should
also be noted that the AD7873 is fully powered while other
serial communications are taking place between byte transfers.
The AD7873 can be set up to operate in an 8-bit mode rather
than a 12-bit mode by setting the MODE bit in the control
register to 1. This mode allows a faster throughput rate to be
achieved, assuming 8-bit resolution is sufficient. When using 8-bit
mode, a conversion is complete four clock cycles earlier than in
12-bit mode. This can be used with serial interfaces that provide
12 clock transfers, or two conversions can be completed with
three 8-clock transfers. The throughput rate increases by 25% as
a result of the shorter conversion cycle, but the conversion itself
can occur at a faster clock rate because the internal settling time
of the AD7873 is not as critical, because settling to eight bits is
all that is required. The clock rate can be as much as 50% faster.
The faster clock rate and fewer clock cycles combine to provide
double the conversion rate.
15 Clocks per Cycle
Figure 39 shows the fastest way to clock the AD7873. This
scheme does not work with most microcontrollers or DSPs
because they are not capable of generating a 15 clock cycle per
serial transfer. However, some DSPs allow the number of clocks
per cycle to be programmed. This method can also be used with
FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) or ASICs (application
specific integrated circuits). As in the 16 clocks per cycle case,
the control bits for the next conversion are overlapped with the
current conversion to allow a conversion every 15 DCLK cycles

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal
pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern. This ensures that
shorting is avoided.
For information on grounding and layout considerations for the
AD7873, refer to Application Note AN-577, Layout and
Grounding Recommendations for Touch Screen Digitizers.
Thermal vias can be used on the printed circuit board thermal
pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are
used, they should be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm
pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and
0.33 mm and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. copper
to plug the via.
PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR
CHIP SCALE PACKAGE
The lands on the chip scale package (CP-32) are rectangular.
The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm
longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than
the package land width. The land should be centered on the
pad. This ensures that the solder joint size is maximized.
The user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad
to GND.
The bottom of the chip scale package has a central thermal pad.
The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least
as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there
