Preliminary Datasheet
Superior Multi-touch Capacitive Touch Screen Controller AP386X
Aug. 2013 Rev. 1. 0 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited

General Description
The AP386X is a low-cost high-resolution single chip 
solution for APA (All point addressable) capacitive 
touch screen. It is an 8-bit single cycle 8051 
microcontroller with ICP Interface. The chip includes 
12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital 
converters with an I
2
C interface and
multiplexer-switcher circuits for flexible 
measurement of analog signal from APA panel. An 
accurate switched-capacitor integrator is built-in and 
it can auto calibrate the pixel parameters for a wide 
range of capacitance on the touch screen (1pF to 
32pF). This touch screen controller (TSC) with 
CMOS integration circuit provides an ideal choice for 
APA touch panel. The AP386X is specified over the 
temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. 
 
The AP386X is available in QFN-5×5-40 (for 
AP3860) and QFN-6×6-48 (for AP3861) packages.
