Product details
Overview
AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit successive approximation ADC touch screen controller with integrated 4-wire resistive touch interface, on-chip 2.5 V reference, 8-bit DAC, and dual battery monitor channels (0.5 V to 5 V). It delivers 125 kSPS throughput, supports wake-up-on-touch, and operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply in automotive-qualified 32-lead LFCSP packaging.
For engineers reviewing the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 pinout, AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 application, or AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its STOPACQ noise-reduction capability for LCD-integrated displays, programmable conversion sequencing, temperature measurement accuracy (±2°C), and dual-mode DAC (voltage/current) for backlight or contrast control.
Technical Context
The AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 integrates a track-and-hold ADC with a 9-to-1 analog multiplexer supporting X+/X−/Y+/Y− touch inputs, two battery monitors (BAT1/BAT2), three auxiliary analog inputs (AUX1–AUX3), and an on-die temperature sensor. Its sequencer enables automatic or host-controlled channel scanning with up to 16-sample averaging per conversion.
It features three interrupt outputs (PENIRQ, ALERT, DAV), dedicated GPIO4, and three reconfigurable AUX/GPIO pins. The STOPACQ pin directly gates ADC acquisition timing to suppress LCD switching noise, while the separate VDRIVE rail (1.65 V to VCC) isolates serial interface logic levels from core analog supply.

FAQ
What is the function of the STOPACQ pin on the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7?
The STOPACQ pin on the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 halts ADC acquisition when asserted, enabling hardware-synchronized suppression of LCD switching noise during touch measurements. This eliminates software-based timing coordination and improves position accuracy in display-integrated systems. The AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 uses this pin to gate the internal track-and-hold phase, ensuring clean sampling windows independent of host processor load.
Does the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 support both voltage and current output modes for its DAC?
Yes, the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 DAC supports both voltage and current output modes. Voltage mode provides 0–VCC/2 or 0–VCC range depending on DAC register bits; current mode delivers 0–1000 µA with full-scale set by external resistor ARNG. This dual-mode capability allows the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 to drive LCD backlights directly or control contrast via current-sink configuration without external amplification.
How does the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 perform touch-pressure measurement?
The AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 calculates touch pressure by analyzing the ratio of X-layer and Y-layer resistance measurements obtained during sequential excitation. It derives pressure information from the relative change in measured voltages across the four-wire resistive overlay-no external components or calibration are required. This capability is intrinsic to the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7's analog front-end and sequencer architecture.
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7?
The AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C and is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100. Its on-die temperature sensor achieves ±2°C accuracy using the single-conversion method calibrated at 25°C. This rating ensures reliable performance in harsh environments such as vehicle infotainment systems and industrial handhelds where the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 is commonly deployed.
Can the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 accepts an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin, supporting 1.0 V to VCC. When using an external reference, the analog input range becomes 0 V to VREF, and gain error is specified relative to that reference. The AD7877WACPZ-REEL7 retains all other functionality-including DAC operation and temperature measurement-while allowing system-level optimization of reference stability, noise, or headroom.
