• Description: Ar1000 Series Resistive Touch Screen Controller
• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology Inc.

1 GENERAL
The mTouch AR1000 Series Resistive Touch Screen Controller is a complete, easy to integrate, cost effective,
and universal touch screen controller chip solution.
The AR1000 Series is designed for high volume, small form factor touch solutions with quick time to market
requirements.
Developed by touch experts with over 15 years experience, the AR1000 Series has sophisticated proprietary
touch screen decoding algorithms allowing it to send your application fully processed and reliable touch
coordinates.
