Cypress Semiconductor Corp. introduced a new automotive capacitive touchscreen controller family that delivers the market’s most advanced feature set for next-generation infotainment systems. Cypress designed the TrueTouch CYAT817 touchscreen controller family specifically to meet rigorous automotive quality standards. The family offers an advanced hover capability that can detect a finger up to 35 mm above the screen and a force touch capability that provides accurate measurement of the pressure applied by multiple independent fingers. The family’s integrated acoustic and haptic feedback control provides faster response times for a better user experience compared to systems where the processing of a touch and pressure applied are not measured on-chip. The Automotive TrueTouch CYAT817 controllers are currently sampling, with AEC-Q100 fully automotive-qualified products expected in the second quarter of 2018. The controllers are available in automotive-friendly 128-pin and 100-pin TQFP packages.
