Controllers Optimised for HID Interface and MicroTouch MT7 Software
When display integrators or device manufacturers develop interactive touch products, they require electronics engineered to meet their need for fast, accurate and reliable touch response. To help meet these requirements, 3M Touch Systems today introduces two new capacitive touch sensor controllers based on its industry-leading MicroTouch EX II electronics platform. These new MicroTouch EX II 7000 series USB controllers, when combined with MicroTouch ClearTek II and ToughTouch II capacitive touch sensors from 3M, provide integrators with high-performance, easy-to-integrate touch electronics, as well as featuring enhanced levels of CRFI (Conducted Radio Frequency Immunity), Wake-on-Touch functionality, and increased MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) specifications to greater than 700k hours.
EX IAlso, these controllers now support the USB suspend mode which enables wake-on-touch functionality. When a system in suspend mode is activated by a touch, wake-on-touch restores the entire system to full power mode and operation. This enhanced function allows developers to power manage their systems to help customers reduce energy consumption, as well as extend the life of critical system components, such as the LCD backlights.
“As a touch industry leader, 3M is committed to providing customers with the best touch components available in the market,” says Francesco Fasoglio, European Business Manager, 3M Touch Systems. “These enhanced EX II USB controllers make the industry-leading ClearTek II capacitive touch system even more robust and versatile to meet customer needs.”
