Since 1997, TouchSensor Technologies has designed and
manufactured millions of touch user-interfaces for discrete key
applications. Now, after an exhaustive evaluation of the available
touchscreen technologies in the marketplace, TouchSensor has
selected Atmel’s maXTouch technology as its platform for next
generation touchscreen solutions for the medical, commercial,
automotive, industrial, and appliance markets.

consumer electronics, the collaboration with Atmel enables
TouchSensor to provide our customers with the best touchscreen
technology and also expand our business across several markets,”
