Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced that
Fujitsu Limited has selected Cypress’s TrueTouch™ solution to
implement the touchscreen in the world’s first separable handset
from NTT DOCOMO, the docomo PRIME series F-04B mobile phone. The
new phone leverages Cypress’s CY8CTMG200 controller to power the
robust multitouch interface with a slim 9.8-mm form-factor that can
operate separately from the keyboard. By detaching the phone's
keyboard from the display, users can easily send e-mails, watch TV
broadcasts or search address books using the touchscreen interface
while talking on the baseband.
The flexible TrueTouch solution offers proven performance,
durability and programmability for other Fujitsu phones, including
the docomo PRIME series F-01A phone and the water-resistant docomo
PRIME series F-01B phone.
“Our multiple design wins with Fujitsu and other top handset
manufacturers around the world are a testament to the flexibility
and proven performance of our TrueTouch solution,” said Norm Taffe,
executive vice president of Cypress’s Consumer and Computation
Division. “We continue to drive touch innovation with new features
such as 1-mm stylus support, robust water-proofing and hover
detection that empower our customers to deliver differentiated
features and enhance the user experience.”
“The TrueTouch solution has provided the flexibility to meet
Fujitsu’s innovative feature requirements for the docomo PRIME
series F-01A, F-01B and F-04B phones,” said Hitoshi Yoshizawa,
Japan country manager for Cypress. “Japanese handset makers are
developing the world’s most advanced phones, and it is fitting they
are choosing TrueTouch as the industry’s most advanced touchscreen
solution.”
The docomo PRIME series F-04B phone integrates a 12.2-megapixel
high-quality camera along with its 3.4-inch VGA display with
user-friendly touch control. The display can be attached to a
projector unit, enabling users to view phone content on a screen as
large as 66 inches.
Cypress’s TrueTouch family includes single-touch, multitouch and
multitouch all-point offerings. Cypress was the first company to
introduce multitouch all-point functionality, which can track an
unlimited number of 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.

feature is available at www.cypress.com/go/hovervideo and a video

The next-generation high performance TMA300 multi-touch
all-point family 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

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.
