Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) today announced that
NVIDIA has certified Cypress’s new single-chip TrueTouch™ solution
for its large touchscreens on the reference design for the NVIDIA®
Tegra® 3 quad-core mobile processor. The reference design is a
tablet form-factor device with a 10.1-inch screen targeted at
upcoming high-performance Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)-based
tablets.
The world’s first quad-core mobile processor for tablets and
super phones, Tegra 3 delivers up to 5x the performance of the
first dual-core processor, Tegra 2. Tegra 3 features a new
patent-pending Variable SMP (vSMP) architecture with a fifth
lower-power “companion” core, a PC-class CPU and 3X faster GPU with
stereo 3D support to deliver the best combination of high
performance and extended battery life.
The new, high-performance CY8CTMA884 TrueTouch™ solution is the
first single-chip controller for large multitouch touchscreens up
to 11.6 inches. The 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. It provides 10-finger touch support, low power
consumption, grip and palm rejection, high accuracy, and fast scan
times.
“NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processor brings tablet performance to a new
level,” said Derek Richardson, Sr. Director of Cypress’s Large
Touchscreen Business Unit. “We’re pleased that our TrueTouch
single-chip solution has been certified for the Tegra 3 reference
design, to help customers bring their new tablets to market
quickly.”
Bill Henry, Director of Tegra Platform Management at NVIDIA,
added, “Touchscreen performance is a critical aspect of the user
experience. The TrueTouch solution has the power and flexibility to
complement Tegra 3’s quad-core capabilities.”
