Function 
No Connection  
No internal bonding. This pin should be open or connected to the ground. 
Keypad Interrupt (Active Low) 
This pin is “L” on a key press (when the AK4184 is allowed to detect a key press). This 
pin is “H” after a debounce scan is completed. This is always “H” when the device is in 
key interrupt disable state.  
BUSY output  
Keypad scanner: This pin stays “H” when the keypad scanner is on the debounce scan. 
Touch Screen controller: This pin stays “H” from the end of sampling time to the timing 
of the MSB data out. 
Serial Data Output 
Data is clocked at SCLK falling edge. DOUT pin is “L” when this part does not produce 
data at the CSN=“L”. This pin is Hi-Z when CSN keeps “H” 
Serial Data Input 
Data is clocked on the rising edge of SCLK. Must keep “L” while not issuing command.
External Clock Input 
Chip Select Input (Active Low) 
Enables writing data to registers when CSN pin = “L” 
Device Reset (Active Low) 
Pen Interrupt Output (Active Low) 
PENIRQN pin is “L” when touch-screen pressed is detected and the CSN pin is “H”. 
This pin is “H” irrespective of touch screen press when pen interrupt is not enabled. The 
state is dependent upon power down mode. See 
 Power-down control and 
 Pen 
Interrupt for reference. 
No Connection 
No internal bonding. This pin should be open or connected to the ground. 
Analog Ground 
Touch Screen Y- plate Voltage Supply 
 Y axis measurement: Supplies voltage to the Y- position input 
 X axis measurement: OPEN state 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: This pin is the input for the A/D converter for Z2 
measurement. 
 Pen Waiting State: connected to GND. 
Touch Screen X- plate Voltage Supply 
 X axis measurement: Supplies voltage to the X- position input 
 Y axis measurement: OPEN state 
 Pen Pressure Measurement: Supplies the voltage to X- position input of the touch 
panel 
 Pen Waiting State: OPEN state  
Touch Screen Y+ plate Voltage Supply 
 X axis measurement: Supplies voltage to the X- position input 
 Y axis measurement: OPEN state 
 Pen Pressure measurement voltage supply  
 Pen Waiting State: OPEN state 
Touch Screen X+ plate Voltage Supply 
 X axis measurement: Supplies voltage to the X+ position input 
 Y axis measurement: This pin is used for the input to the A/D converter 
 Pen Pressure measurement: This pin is the input for the A/D converter for Z1 
measurement. 
 Pen Waiting State: Pulled up by an internal resistor (typ.50K
Ω
).   
Analog Power Supply 2.5V ~ 3.6V
