How to use a single chip microcomputer to drive and control the touch screen

The touch screen is currently the simplest, most convenient, natural and suitable input device for China's multimedia information query. It has many advantages such as durability, fast response, space saving, and easy communication. Touch screen technology is considered to be one of the mainstream directions of future human-computer interaction technology, and the application of related industries and products is also becoming a hot spot. However, traditional touch screens are difficult to apply to a wider range of industrial control equipment due to their high cost. At present, Wuhan Guxin Technology's touch screen design solution can well solve this problem.

A human-machine interface system was built using a touch screen, a single-chip microcomputer and an LCD screen.
In the process of using C8051F020 to control TFT6448BS-5.7, bus control was adopted. Because the TFT6448BS-5.7 liquid crystal controller has a latch function, no external latch chip is required when using bus control. It can be achieved by using the P0, P2, and P3 ports of the single-chip microcomputer C8051F020. Before the system is powered on, since the typical operating voltage of C8051F020 is 3.3V and the operating voltage of TFT6448BS-5.7 is 5V, the driving capacity of the corresponding connection pins of the P0, P2, and P3 ports is expanded; according to the control requirements, the pins of the corresponding ports are configured as drain output mode through the P0, P2, and P3 port registers. Configure the P3 port as a data/address output port. When outputting the address, it is the lower eight bits of the address bus, and the P2 port provides the higher address; when transmitting data, it is an 8-bit data bus port. After the system is powered on, the chip select signal /CS of TFT6448BS-5.7 is enabled. By writing data into the corresponding row, column, control, and data registers of TFT6448BS-5.7, the C8051F020 chip can be used to control TFT6448BS-5.7, thereby realizing the display control of color LCD.
The specific working process of the touch screen hardware interface circuit is as follows:
1. As shown in Figure 2, connect the circuit and connect a 3.3V DC power supply to the power input terminal and the reference voltage terminal;
2. Initialize AD0 in combination with software programming. When the system is in sleep mode, the software opens an interrupt, cuts off PN P1, PNP2, and N PN 1, and saturates and conducts N PN 2;
3. Wait for the touch screen to be touched;
4. If the touch screen is touched, enter the interrupt service program, turn off the external interrupt, and perform a short delay to eliminate external jitter. By judging the level change of the interrupt input port P0.0, determine whether the jitter has ended. Through software, PN P2 and N PN2 are cut off, PN P1 and N PN 1 are saturated, and the analog-to-digital conversion channel A IN 0.0 is selected to collect the X-direction coordinate value of the touch point, delay and wait for the conversion to end, and remove the conversion result; electrode voltage switching, through software setting, PN P1 and N PN 1 are cut off, PN P2 and N PN 2 are saturated, and the analog-to-digital conversion channel A IN 0.1 is selected to collect the Y-direction coordinate value of the touch point, delay and wait for the conversion to end, and remove the conversion result;
5. By comparing the collected X and Y coordinate values ​​with the set key boundary values, if the comparison result is true, switch to the corresponding sub-page, otherwise, reopen the interrupt and return to the main program;
6. The working process of the touch screen hardware interface circuit returns to step 3 and continues to wait for the next touch.
