Cypress Webinar on July 1 Teaches How to Simplify Capacitive Touch-Sensing Designs Through Integration
June 24 2010 - 4:30PM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced a free,
online seminar that shows designers how to create highly-integrated
capacitive touch-sensing designs with programmable systems. The
60-minute webinar, entitled “Simplify Your Capacitive Touch-Sensing
Designs,” will be presented in conjunction with EE Times on
Thursday, July 1 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. Registration is available at
www.techonline.com/learning/livewebinar/225600343.
Typical touch-sensing designs require multiple discrete
components, each of which adds cost and occupies board space. The
presenter will demonstrate how Cypress's CapSense® Plus™ family
gives engineers more design flexibility through greater
configurability and better performance of digital and analog
resources for implementing PWMs, timers, communication interfaces
such as I2C and SPI, ADCs and more. Leveraging a dedicated
dual-channel interface allows a single device to implement multiple
buttons and slider interfaces while managing functions such as
motor control, intelligent sensing, LED control and more.
The CapSense family is based on Cypress’s PSoC® programmable
system-on-chip architecture, allowing for dynamic reprogramming of
analog and digital components in minutes. This enables designers to
morph internal resources on-the-fly, utilizing fewer components to
perform a given task. With fixed-function components, making
changes can be time consuming and cause project delays. By
contrast, a programmable approach enables designers to implement
system changes with no new silicon and without having to redesign
circuit boards. The webinar will teach designers how to leverage
these programmable systems to accelerate time to market and lower
overall system cost.
About CapSense
Cypress's CapSense touch-sensing solution has replaced 3.5
billion mechanical buttons in mobile handsets, laptops, consumer
electronics, white goods, automotive applications, and virtually
any system that has a mechanical button or switch, making Cypress
the industry touch-sensing leader. The CapSense portfolio, the
industry's broadest and most integrated, enhances industrial design
and reliability with the most noise-immune and water tolerant
capacitive touch-sensing interfaces, including proximity sensing
where direct touch is not required. CapSense proximity sensing,
with its industry-leading detection range up to 25 cm, provides
power savings by activating an interface only when needed while
further enhancing industrial designs by only exposing interfaces
when necessary. Based on the PSoC architecture and the PSoC
Designer™ Embedded-System Design Tool, users complete CapSense
designs quickly and easily using pre-configured and verified "user
modules" and real-time sensor tuning and monitoring. Learn more

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
