Description 
Power Supply  
Touch Screen  X+ plate Voltage supply 
 X axis Measurement: Supplies the voltage 
 Y axis Measurement: This pin is used as the input for the A/D converter 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: This pin is the input to the A/D converter at Z1 measurement. 
 Temperature/VBAT/IN1/IN2 Measurement: OPEN state  
 Powerdown State: is pulled up by an internal resistor (typ.20k ohm). 
Touch Screen  Y+ plate Voltage supply 
 Y axis Measurement: Supplies the voltage 
 X axis Measurement: This pin is used as the input for the A/D converter 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: Supplies the voltage. 
 Temperature/VBAT/IN1/IN2 Measurement: OPEN state  
 Powerdown State: OPEN state. 
Touch Screen  X- plate Voltage supply 
 X axis Measurement: Supplies the voltage 
 Y axis Measurement: OPEN state 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: Supplies the voltage. 
 Temperature/VBAT/IN1/IN2 Measurement: OPEN state  
 Powerdown State: OPEN state 
Touch Screen Y- plate Voltage supply 
 Y axis Measurement: Supplies the voltage 
 X axis Measurement: OPEN state 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: This pin is the input to the A/D converter at Z2 measurement.

Analog Input for Battery Monitor 
Auxiliary 1 Analog Input 
Voltage Reference Input/Output 
Outputs 2.5V 
Auxiliary 2 Analog Input 
Pen Interrupt Output  
This pin should be pulled up via a 100k-ohm resistor.  
Serial A/D Data Output 
Outputs A/D data serially at the falling edge of DCLK.  MSB is output at the falling edge of 
BUSY signal.  
DOUT is “L” at CSN=”L” except that A/D data is output.  
This pin is Hi-Z state at CSN=”H”
BUSY Output 
This pin goes to low at CSN = “L”. BUSY signal is “H” only for the period between the falling 
edge of 8DCLK and the falling edge of 9DCLK.  
This pin is Hi-Z state at CSN=”H” 
Serial Data Input 
Inputs 8-bit control command data serially when CSN=”L”  
AK4180 latches at the rising edge of DCLK.  Please keep “L” except when issuing commands.   
Chip Select Input 
Enables writing to the registers when CSN=”L”.  CSN=”H” and DIN=”H” force the internal 
registers to initial value, 00h. (Full Powerdown)
