Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), today announced that
its TrueTouch® solution for large multitouch touchscreens drives
the unique touchscreen displays in the Acer ICONIA TAB A100, the
industry’s first 7-inch tablet based on the Android 3.2 Honeycomb
platform.
The tablet’s sleek, portable design features a vibrant 7-inch
multi-touch display with a 1024 x 600 resolution enhanced
by high-color contrast and a 70-degree viewing angle. It weighs
0.92 pounds and measures 0.5 inches thick. The multifunctional A100
can be used for games, surfing the Internet, and productivity
applications such as calendar and email. In addition, the
integrated Bluetooth allows consumers to connect devices such as
headsets and keyboards. Adobe Flash Player 10.3 is preinstalled on
the tablet and can be used right out of the box. Customers can
connect the A100 to a TV via the HDMI port, or enjoy their own
digital content by transferring files through the tablet’s
micro-USB port or by using the Micro-SD card reader.
The latest touchscreen controller from Cypress 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 flexible TrueTouch solution enables customers
to rapidly develop leading-edge solutions by supporting development
from panel design through manufacturing testing. They have a choice
of using touch sensors (glass or film) and LCDs from preferred
partners, and can develop innovative mechanical designs to enable
thin touchscreen stackups. 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.
Cypress’s broad portfolio of TrueTouch solutions are flexible,
robust, high performance and easy to use. TrueTouch multitouch
all-point controllers provide best-in-class scan times for true
multifinger touch and very high signal-to-noise ratio of more than
80:1 RMS. They also offer low power consumption (less that 1.3 mA
low-power state current), best-in-class water rejection and
wet-finger tracking, and more. Additional information about the
TrueTouch solution is available at

“The Acer tablets offer outstanding functionality and
performance,” said Derek Richardson, Senior Director of Cypress’s
Large Touchscreen Business Unit. “The touchscreen interface is a
critical part of what sets this tablet apart, and we’re pleased to
provide a best-in-class solution to Acer.”
