±15kV ESD-Protected Touch-Screen
Controllers Include DAC and Keypad Controller
General Description
The MAX1233/MAX1234 are complete PDA controllers in
5mm
×
5mm, 28-pin QFN and TQFN packages. They fea-
ture a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), low on-
resistance switches for driving resistive touch screens, an
internal +1.0V/+2.5V or external reference,
±2°C
accu-
rate, on-chip temperature sensor, direct +6V battery mon-
itor, keypad controller, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC), and a synchronous serial interface. Each of the
keypad controllers’ eight row and column inputs can be
reconfigured as general-purpose parallel I/O pins (GPIO).
All analog inputs are fully ESD protected, eliminating the
need for external TransZorb
™
devices.
The MAX1233/MAX1234 offer programmable resolution
and sampling rates. Interrupts from the devices alert the
host processor when data is ready, when the screen is
touched, or a key press is detected. Software-
configurable scan control and internal timers give the user
flexibility without burdening the host processor. These
devices consume only 260µA at the maximum sampling
rate of 50ksps. Supply current falls to below 50µA for
sampling rates of 10ksps. The MAX1233/MAX1234 are
guaranteed over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the offset and gain errors
have been removed.
Note 3:
Offset nulled.

2680°K/V. No calibration is necessary.
Note 5:
Temperature coefficient is -2.1mV/°C. Determine absolute temperature by extrapolating from a calibrated value.
Note 6:
ADC performance is limited by the conversion noise floor, typically 300µV
P-P
. An external reference below 2.5V can
compromise the ADC performance.
Note 7:
Guaranteed from code 5 to 255.
