Cypress’s New Single-Chip TrueTouch™ Solution for Tablets Changes the Game in Large Touchscreens
January 27 2011 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced
availability of a new, high-performance single-chip TrueTouch™
solution for large multitouch touchscreens up to 11.6 inches. The
new CY8CTMA884 family offers 60 sensing I/O channels with support
for up to 884 nodes on the screen, more than any other single-chip
solution. Additional sensing channels are essential for greater
accuracy, linearity, support for smaller sized fingers and the
ability to resolve multiple fingers close together.
The CY8CTMA884 offers all the benefits users have come to expect
from TrueTouch devices, including 10-finger touch support, low
power consumption, grip and palm rejection, high accuracy, and fast
scan times. All major tablet operating systems will be supported in
this family of devices, and Cypress works closely with all the
leading ITO sensor vendors, providing designers with flexibility,
optimal performance and quality. Cypress’s large-screen TrueTouch
platform expands its leadership position in small-screen portable
electronics – such as handsets and portable navigation devices –
into large-screen portable PC products and tablets. The devices are
available today, with full production to lead customers expected by
the end of the first quarter.
“The market for tablets continues to expand rapidly, and
touchscreen performance is a critical differentiator for these
products,” said Derek Richardson, Sr. Director of Cypress’s Large
Touchscreen Business Unit. “Cypress is the first to offer a
single-chip device to support this market. This continues our
leadership in both small and large form-factor touchscreen
solutions, as multiple tier-one customer engagements bear out.”
Cypress offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of capacitive
touchscreen solutions including single-touch, multitouch gesture
and multitouch all-point offerings. Cypress was the first company
to introduce multitouch all-point functionality, which can track 10
or more touches simultaneously. This multitouch all-point solution
has been in mass production since 2008. TrueTouch is the industry’s
most flexible touchscreen architecture, which allows designers to
implement differentiated features and make last-minute design
iterations without board changes. In addition, TrueTouch devices
offer Cypress’s world-class noise immunity with patented capacitive
sensing technology that enables flawless operation in noisy RF and
LCD environments. Additional information about the TrueTouch
solution is available at www.cypress.com/go/TrueTouch.
