Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced that the
TrueTouch™ touchscreen solution is natively supported in the soon
to be released Windows® Phone 7 Series mobile handset platform.
This support allows handset manufacturers using the Windows Phone 7
Series to implement exciting capacitive touchscreen interfaces
without the need for developing external drivers or custom software
development.
Announced in February, Windows Phone 7 Series offers a fresh
approach to phone software, distinguished by smart design and truly
integrated user experiences. It takes a fundamentally different
approach to phone design, with dynamically updated “live tiles”
that show users real-time content directly. It also includes “hubs”
that bring together related content from the web, applications and
services into a single view to simplify common tasks such as
reading, editing and sharing documents all in one place.
“Cypress is proud to see the TrueTouch solution selected for
native support within this exciting new platform,” said Dhwani
Vyas, vice president of the User Interface Business Unit at
Cypress. “Of the many touchscreen products available, none offers
the advanced features and flexibility of TrueTouch. The interface
within Windows Phone 7 Series enables manufacturers to take
advantage of these attributes quickly and seamlessly. This software
support, coupled with our broad family of devices, is going to
significantly reduce time-to-market for the next generation of
capacitive-touch-enabled Windows Phone 7 Series phones.”
Cypress recently announced its next-generation high performance
TMA300 multi-touch all-point family. This controller provides
best-in-class scan times for true multi-finger touch and superior
signal-to-noise ratio for the most demanding touchscreen
applications. Cypress has also recently demonstrated advanced
functions such as 1 mm stylus and large touchscreen support.

The flexible 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.
