Report from our correspondent cypress has announced its market leading TrueTouch touch screen and support the CapSense touch induction controller LIN passed authentication. Car The flagship products based on cypress PSoC programmable chip system architecture, accord with the device, thus AEC - Q100 standards that cypress become most world with the car capacitive touch sensor product line level. TrueTouch controller marks the first car industry level capacitive touch screen product was born. CY8C2x345 CapSense controller not only with simulation resources, also support the car industry, thus make LIN communications standard in this series of devices become LIN bus communicate at the same time, the shuttle simulation and the capacitive sensing sensor input, LED backlighting control and touch toggle ideal system control devices.

Cypress also announced, is located in Chinas Shanghai hongli semiconductor company already through the authentication, and can produce Q100 AEC - with standard, ISO/TS 16949 quality management standards and cypress zero flaw manufacturing system standard car CY8C2x345 CapSense controller level.

Cypress executive vice President in charge of quality of Sabbas Daniel said: "hongli semiconductor manufacturing strategy is always our flexible the good partner, and in the car level has wafer supply successful experience. Cypress currently can also through Fab4 facilities in Minnesota extra wafers production resources supply auto level devices, and both are accord with our zero defect quality control standards."

New car TrueTouch controller can be classified into grade single point touch, multipoint touch gestures recognition and more touching three kinds, has also place recognition ability to track multiple fingers. TrueTouch solutions can control the biggest screen size could be nine inches, and can be used in the control panel, GPS and infotainment display.

Cypress car CapSense device can achieve level is attractives powerful interface than mechanical switch, and slider has better durability. In addition, the industrys leading reliability and anti-interference ability and waterproof can in the harsh cars operating environment showed remarkable performance. CapSense close to the biggest detection distance can be induced to 25 centimeters, can only when the need arises activate a interface. These devices for such as audio and navigation, air conditioning and lighting control in-car applications, and trunk opens, passive no key in the lock buttons for external applications such as the most ideal device deserves.

Cypress auto business division manager Hassane El - Khoury said: "we are very pleased to be able to put cypress market leading capacitive touch induction interface products into automobile market and meet the quality standard of AEC - Q100. This is our product area continues in auto focus and investment results. We specially established division and zero defect quality organization. Our CY8C21X34 CapSense device has been some of the worlds leading auto manufacturers used. In these successful basis, we have recently launched TrueTouch and support CapSense device LIN bus, and for the next generation of man-machine interface bring beautiful car."

Cypress new car CapSense devices can grade two channels scanning, can for multiple I/O provides a faster scanning time. These devices can support the auto industry communication standard LIN 2.0 and 2.1. Cypress provide two types of automotive level device: A level (-40c ~ + 85C) and grade E (-40c ~ + 125C). Chip simulation resources include a SAR ADC.

Cypress TrueTouch solution is the industry the most flexible framework that allows designers touch screen realization of different function, and in the last moment modified, without change circuit board design. Users can choose from their suppliers touch sensor (glass or film) and LCD, and can develop from plane to surface of various thickness of innovation mechanical design. In addition, TrueTouch device also inherits the cypress patent awarded the capacitive sensing technology, with legendary anti-jamming performance, can be in a noisy rf and LCD environment error-free to work.

In addition to PSoC programmable chip system device besides, cypress car level product line includes parallel and serial as nonvolatile an SRAM, an SRAM, asynchronous fast asynchronous micro-consumption electronic an SRAM, synchronization of an SRAM, timing solution and USB host, on and peripherals.
