Ny generation af touchscreen controllere

Atmel udvider nu maXTouch U serien af touchscreen controllere, der adresserer touchscreens med størrelser fra 1.2” to 10.1” (in english).

Atmel has expanded its industry-leading maXTouch U series of touchscreen controllers, providing the perfect blend of performance, power and size. The new devices enable virtually any touchscreen from 1.2” to 10.1” to deliver superior touch performance and ultra-low power in various form factors.

The six new devices expand the maXTouch U series with the industry’s best touch performance and lowest power leveraging its proprietary picoPower technology. Designers can now build innovative thin and flexible touchscreen designs using single layer, on-cell and hybrid in-cell touchscreens with intelligent wake-up gestures and buttons.

Atmel is the only supplier to provide a single platform using the company’s latest touch technology to support touchscreens for applications ranging from wearables to entry-level smartphones, super phones and tablets on a full range of stack-ups including on-cell and hybrid in-cell.

With the proliferation of touchscreens over the last 5 years, there has been a continued need to develop touchscreens with extremely high touch performance, ultra-low power and more sophisticated industrial designs with thinner screens. Furthermore, the anticipated growth of the wearables market has created a demand for extremely small touchscreen controllers with ultra-low power consumption in tiny packaging. Atmel addresses this demand with devices in its new maXTouch U series packaged in an ultra-tiny 2.5mm x 2.6mm Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP).

Atmel’s portfolio of maXTouch U series addresses all the requirements for next-generation touchscreens and is built from the ground up with the company’s proven ultra-low power MCU and leading touch technology. The portfolio of devices support differentiated features for a variety of touchscreen applications including 1.0mm passive stylus, water rejection with stylus operation, multi-finger glove touch, up to 20mm hover and ultra-low power modes down to 10µW in deep sleep for wearable applications.

- Atmel’s industry-leading maXTouch U series provides all the necessary building blocks including ultra-low power and smaller form factors to enable our OEMs to differentiate their designs, says Binay Bajaj, Sr. Director of Touch Marketing, Atmel Corporation.
