INITIATION OF MEASUREMENTS
The WM9715L touchpanel interface supports both polling routines and DMA (direct memory access)
to control the flow of data from the touchpanel ADC to the host CPU.
In a polling routine, the CPU starts each measurement individually by writing to the POLL bit (register
76h, bit 15). This bit automatically resets itself when the measurement is completed.

0: measure regardless of pen status
1: measure only when pen is down (when
CTC=0 and POLL=1, measurement is
delayed until pen-down; when CTC=1,
measurements are stopped on pen-up)
Table 25 Touchpanel Digitiser Control (Initiation of Measurements)
In continuous mode (CTC = 1), the WM9715L autonomously initiates measurements at the rate set
by CR, and supplies the measured data to the CPU on one of the unused AC’97 time slots. DMA-
enabled CPUs can write the data directly into a FIFO without any intervention by the CPU core. This
reduces CPU loading and speeds up the execution of user programs in handheld systems.
Note that the measurement frequency in continuous mode is also affected by the DEL bits (see
“Touchpanel Settling Time”). The faster rates achieved when DEL = 1111 may be useful when the
ADC is used for auxiliary measurements.
