A paper titled "Touch Sensor
Controller Technology and Application Trends" by Fujitsu
Fujitsu Microelectronics America has published a new technical
backgrounder named ''Touch Sensor Controller Technology
and Application Trends." This paper describes advances
in touch sensor technology for a broad range of markets
and applications, and explains how sensor-driven interfaces
are becoming more intuitive, and easier to implement and
to use.
The backgrounder reviews the capacitive technologies used
in touch-sensor controllers, and discusses the choices available
for optimizing results in various applications. The paper,
which focuses specifically on the benefits of all-digital
touch technology, details the differences between analog
and digital touch solutions, discusses different sensing
applications, and analyzes general industry trends. A comprehensive
section details how digital touch sensor ICs can be integrated
with a wide range of microcontrollers to deliver an efficient,
low-power embedded solution.
This paper covers the use of Fujitsu FMA1127 touch-sensor
controller.
"This new backgrounder serves as a useful reference
for designers who want to use touch-sensor technology to
replace buttons and other mechanical devices in mobile products,
home appliances and other applications," said Dean
Chang, senior product marketing manager at Fujitsu Microelectronics.
"We have identified the ways in which digital touch
sensor technology can be configured to deliver the optimal
user experience."
