Microchip Technology mTouch™ AR1000 Resistive Touch Screen Controllers

Microchip Technology mTouch™ AR1000 Resistive Touch Screen Controllers are complete, easy-to-integrate, cost-effective, universal touch screen controller chip solutions. The AR1000 Series has sophisticated proprietary touch screen decoding algorithms to process all touch data, saving the host from the processing overhead.Providing filtering capabilities beyond that of other low-cost devices, the AR1000 Series delivers reliable, validated, and calibrated touch coordinates. 

Using the on-board EEPROM, the AR1000 Touch Screen Controllers can store and independently apply the calibration to the touch coordinates before sending them to the host. This unique combination of features makes the AR1000 Series a resource-efficient touch screen controller for system designs, including embedded system integrations.
