Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) today announced that its
TrueTouch™ touchscreen solution is employed in the new docomo PRIME
series™ N-02B mobile phone from NEC. The N-02B offers a
high-resolution, 12-megapixel camera that can be activated in less
than one second. The TrueTouch solution enables users to focus the
camera using the touchscreen for speed and convenience. The phone
also uses the TrueTouch solution to deliver intuitive multitouch
capability, allowing gestures such as tap, double-tap, pan, pinch,
scroll, rotate and others.
The N-02B recognizes a photography scene automatically and then
adjusts the brightness, sensitivity and picture quality
accordingly. In addition to its extraordinary camera capabilities,
it offers HSDPA, Wireless LAN, GPS, Bluetooth, and 5.1-channel SRS
TruMedia sound that allows users to watch video recorded on a
Blu-Ray recorder.
Cypress is demonstrating the TrueTouch touchscreen solution, as
well as peripheral and mass storage controllers and precision
motion sensing technology for handsets, at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona from February 15-18 in Hall 1, Booth
1F53.
“The N-02B from NEC is another example of a worldwide leader
using the unique TrueTouch capabilities to deliver an innovative
touchscreen solution,” said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of
Cypress’s Consumer and Computation Division. “As more exciting
TrueTouch-based products hit the market, we expect to see new
implementations that take advantage of our rich features set.”
Cypress’s TrueTouch family, based on the PSoC® programmable
system-on-chip architecture, includes single-touch, multitouch and
“multitouch all-point” offerings. Cypress was the first company to
introduce multitouch all-point functionality, which can track
unlimited simultaneous touches. This capability enables designers
to create new usage models for products such as mobile handsets,
portable media players (PMPs), GPS systems and other products, and
has been in mass production since 2008. TrueTouch is the industry’s
most flexible touchscreen solution, as the unique PSoC architecture
allows designers to implement differentiated features and make
last-minute design iterations without board changes.
Cypress recently announced its next-generation high performance
TMA300 multitouch all-point family. This controller provides
best-in-class scan times for true multifinger touch and superior
signal-to-noise ratio for the most demanding touchscreen
applications. Additional information about the TrueTouch solution
is available at www.cypress.com/go/TrueTouch.
“The touchscreen focus feature with the 12-Mpixel resolution
makes this phone very attractive,” said Hitoshi Yoshizawa, Japan
country manager for Cypress. “We are pleased to add a leader such
as NEC to our growing TrueTouch customer base in Japan.”
The flexibility of the TrueTouch solution allows customers to
rapidly develop leading-edge solutions without having to buy
turnkey modules. They have a choice of using touch sensors (glass
or film) and LCDs from preferred partners, and can develop
innovative mechanical designs ranging from flat to curved surfaces
of varying thickness. In addition, TrueTouch devices offer
Cypress’s legendary noise immunity with patented capacitive sensing
technology that enables flawless operation in noisy RF and LCD
environments.
PSoC -- Because Change Happens
PSoC devices employ a highly configurable system-on-chip
architecture for embedded control design, offering a flash-based
equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC without lead-time or NRE
penalties. PSoC devices integrate configurable analog and digital
circuits, controlled by an on-chip microcontroller, providing both
enhanced design revision capability and component count savings. A
single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral
functions saving customers design time, board space and power
consumption while improving system quality and reducing system
cost. More information about PSoC products is available at
www.cypress.com/psoc and free online training is at
