Cypress Partners with NVIDIA to Provide High-Performance Touchscreen Designs for Android-Based Mobile Devices
February 24 2012 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that
NVIDIA and Cypress are collaborating on next-generation touchscreen
solutions for Android-based mobile devices based on Cypress’s Gen 4
True Touch Solution and NVIDIA’s DirectTouch™ architecture. The new
architecture utilizes the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 processor, the world’s
only 4-PLUS-1™ quad-core processor with a fifth battery saver
core.
DirectTouch is a new Tegra 3 technology that offloads some of
the touch panel processing to one of the Tegra 3’s four CPU cores
for faster touch processing and an improved end-user experience,
while also reducing power. Combining this high speed processing
with the advanced analog of the Gen4 family will enable very thin
displays with excellent responsiveness.
Glenn Schuster, Director of Technical Marketing, at NVIDIA,
added, “It’s great to be working with Cypress to improve the
customer touchscreen experience. Teaming DirectTouch with Cypress’
touch technology helps our partners create quad-core mobile devices
with an even better mobile touch experience and longer battery
life.”
“It’s exciting to work on new ways to deliver higher performance
touchscreen solutions,” said John Carey, Director of TrueTouch
Marketing for Cypress. “As the touchscreen leader, we’re pleased to
partner with NVIDIA in making the DirectTouch architecture
successful.”
