Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that
Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. has selected the OvationONS™ II
optical navigation system for its Android-based Intercept phones.
The OvationONS II sensor will be used in the optical track pad
modules inside the Intercept for easy and intuitive single-handed
screen and menu navigation.
Cypress’s PSoC®-based OvationONS II enables a fully-contained
optical finger navigation module system that includes a laser,
sensor and processor. It employs Cypress’s patented OptiCheck™
technology — a proprietary, speckle-based two-dimensional comb
array technology — to determine finger motion and provide highly
accurate and reliable user navigation interfaces for mobile
devices.
The Intercept also offers users both a touchscreen and a full
slider QWERTY keyboard, offering a convenient and functional way to
enjoy faster web surfing, downloads, messaging, and more. Based on
the Android operating system, it delivers features such as Google
Maps™, expandable Memory (up to 32 GB), picture messaging, and
Bluetooth. The phone is available from Sprint in the U.S.
OvationONS sensor is a superior 2-D motion sensor system
solution. The solution enables reliable optical tracking
performance for all operating environments. The OvationONS sensor
is based on Cypress’s PSoC programmable technology. The
programmable advantages enables the sensor to self adjust tracking
performance according to different conditions such as operating
temperature, tracking surfaces, ambient light conditions and more.
More information, including a new video demonstrating the advantage
of OvationONS II, is available at www.cypress.com/go/ONS.
“We’re excited to see a world leader such as Samsung adopt our
optical technology, which provides a superior solution for
single-handed navigation in a phone,” said Dinesh Ramanathan,
executive vice president of Cypress’s Data Communications Division.
“We’re confident that users will appreciate the difference in
performance and ease-of-use the OvationONS II provides.”
