Controllers Include DAC and Keypad Controller
General Description
Features
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.
♦ ESD-Protected Analog Inputs
15kV IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge
8kV IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
♦ Single-Supply Operation
+2.7V to +3.6V (MAX1233)
+4.75V to +5.25V (MAX1234)
♦ 4-Wire Touch-Screen Interface
♦ Internal +1.0V/+2.5V Reference or External
Reference (+1.0V to AV
)

♦ SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-Compatible 10MHz
Serial Interface
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.
