Frequently Asked Questions

What touch panel types does the AR1021-I/SS support?

The AR1021-I/SS supports 4-wire, 5-wire, and 8-wire resistive touch panels. This multi-wire compatibility allows designers to use a wide variety of commercially available resistive touch screens without changing the controller IC, reducing redesign effort and component variety.

What is the resolution and sampling rate of the AR1021-I/SS?

The AR1021-I/SS provides 10-bit ADC resolution, delivering 1024 positions per axis for precise touch coordinates. It samples the touch panel at up to 140 samples per second (140 sps), providing responsive and accurate touch detection for interactive HMI applications.

What communication interface does the AR1021-I/SS use?

The AR1021-I/SS uses a Serial SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) for communication with a host microcontroller. SPI is a standard, widely supported protocol that simplifies integration into virtually any embedded system using minimal GPIO pins.

What package is the AR1021-I/SS available in?

The AR1021-I/SS is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with a 0.3-inch body width, JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20. This compact surface-mount package is suitable for space-constrained PCB designs and is compatible with standard automated assembly processes.
