Cypress CapSense® Solution Controls Innovative, LED-Based User Interface on New Epson Multi-Function Printers

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that Epson has selected the CapSense® capacitive touch solution to implement buttons and LED controls in its new multi-function printers.

The new Epson Artisan 725, Stylus Photo PX720WD, Stylus Photo TX720WD, and Stylus Photo PX660 multi-function printers have a unique control panel with LEDs that intuitively guide users through common tasks. The printers offer a wide array of features, including wireless and wired connectivity and automatic double-sided printing to save paper.

Cypress is the worldwide leader in capacitive touch-sensing with the industry’s broadest portfolio. Its PSoC®-based CapSense devices offer unmatched flexibility and integration, addressing a broad range of designs from complex, feature-rich applications to simple button replacement. The easy-to-use solution offers leading noise immunity and water-resistance for reliable operation. More information about the CapSense solution is available at www.cypress.com/go/capsense.

“Our customers value ease-of-use very highly,” said an Epson spokesman. “Our unique ‘Easy LED Navigation’ feature, delivers a great user experience right out of the box. Cypress CapSense helped us to develop this feature quickly, and with excellent performance, even in the face of electrical interference from other devices.”

“This is another great example of a customer providing innovative new features using CapSense,” said Dirk Franklin, director of Cypress’s CapSense Business Unit. “Our CapSense solution’s robust noise immunity and flexibility are key to enabling great products such as these printers.”

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 programmable system-on-chip 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.
