The LM8300/8500 is a 4-wire resistive touch screen controller. The controller samples and drives the touch screen without the need of any external hardware. The built in 10-bit A/D provides a maximum of 500 coordinate pairs per second (cpps). The data sampled from the touch screen is sent out on the UART at a speed of 38400 bps. The controller has a power-saving mode which causes the controller to self-power down when no touch is detected on the touch screen for a specified amount of time. In the
