The pen digitiser function comprises a 12 bit successive approximation ADC, with a multi-channel
input multiplexor to select which signal to convert, and a switching matrix to control driving of
signals to the resistive touchscreen plates. A finite state machine is provided in order to control
and sequence conversion operations.
A pen-down detection scheme is provided to allow detection of when the pen is in contact with the
screen. This allows for the touchscreen to only be driven whilst the pen is down, saving on
unnecessary power consumption. This minimises any degradation in audio performance that may
occur due to the significant currents that flow through the on-chip screen drive switches. Figure 18
shows symbolically these component elements and their connectivity.
