U17, the Hampshire TSHARC-12S resistive touchscreen controller is a single
chip design, incorporating a microprocessor, A/D converter, UART, and
firmware. It supports only 5-wire resistive touchscreen and serial interface to
the host system.
The serial Receive/Transmit signals from U17 are routed to jumper block J4.
When a resistive touchscreen is installed, J4 is configured to route
RES_TXD
to
F_TXD2
and
RES_RXD
to
F_RXD2
which are fed to UART2 in U35 Super
IO #2.
When the optional Capacitive Touchscreen Interface Board is installed, the
jumpers are configured to route
CAP_TXD
and
CAP_RXD
to U35 instead of
the resistive touchscreen controller.
