Cypress Offers CapSense and TrueTouch Controllers In Industry's Smallest Packages

The CapSense CY8C207x6A-24FDXC devices are offered in 30-ball packages that measure only 2.2 x 2.3 x 0.4mm. They offer very low power operation (down to 1.7V) and run-time current consumption for long battery life, along with industry-leading noise immunity and touch sensitivity for up to 25 buttons. The new CapSense controllers also offer Cypress’s SmartSense™ technology that automatically detects and adjusts for changes in input variables, allowing easier design and manufacturing, along with better performance in the field.

The TrueTouch CY8CTMA300E controller family is offered in a 49-ball, 3.2 x 3.2 x 0.55 mm package. It offers an integrated analog sensing engine for the industry’s fastest and most accurate touchscreen user experience. This responsiveness allows tracking of multiple fingers simultaneously with precise x-y locations and without user delays or problems with erroneous “ghost” responses. The devices also offer Cypress’s legendary noise immunity, very low power consumption and advanced features such as stylus support, hover detection and water rejection.

“As we have done since the beginning of the touch revolution, Cypress is taking the lead in enabling differentiated end-products — in this case small form-factor systems that are in high demand by today’s consumer,” said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of Cypress’s Consumer and Computation Division. “With each new innovation, we’re extending our leadership in touch sensing, and we anticipate that trend to continue in the future.”
