A new benchmark in the industry Cypress releases revolutionary Gen5 TrueTouch controller

It can also work normally in the worst case of charger and display noise

Not only does it have unparalleled noise resistance, the new device can also support In-Cell stacking structure, and it has the industry's best waterproof capability

Beijing, February 25, 2013- Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) has released a new generation of Gen5 TrueTouch® controller series products. This series of products has the industry's best anti-noise ability touch screen control technology, the performance completely exceeds the existing standards, and can resist the interference of various noise sources. Tests conducted under the highest standards applicable to all touch screens (at 1-500 kHz, using an ultra-thin 0.5 mm overlay, and a finger size of 22 mm) show that Gen5 has a unique 40 volt peak-to-peak (Vpp) charger noise immunity ability. Under the same measurement conditions, there is currently no competing product that can achieve noise immunity in excess of 15 Vpp.

The Gen5 controller has designed a new analog front end, which can make the touch screen work at 10 V and narrow-band high frequency, with single-channel scanning and advanced hardware DSP filtering. Gen5 ’s unmatched noise resistance enables next-generation handheld device designers to adopt a super-thin, integrated display stack structure, which in turn allows noisy displays to include In-Cell, On-Cell, and direct laminaTIon. Used in the structure. Even thinner mobile phones will not cause misjudgment and missed judgment, and the position error can be lower (less than 0.5 mm).

John Carey, Senior Marketing Director of TrueTouch, said: "Cypress has been leading the trend of touch screen innovation. Now Gen5 can resist any charger noise and greatly improve product performance, thereby greatly reducing returns, simplifying touch screen design, reducing overall product cost, Provide the best touch screen user experience. "

Gen5 also has many innovative features of other TrueTouch products. Gen5 inherits Cypress's unique patented technology to realize self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance sensing on the same chip, so it can have the best waterproof performance in the industry. It can be perfectly applied in real life environment, especially including rain, mist or sweat. This powerful architecture combined with the industry-leading ARM M-Core processor architecture (which is recognized as efficient MIPS / mW) enables Gen5 to achieve a 120Hz refresh rate and consumes only 4.5 uW in deep sleep mode. The new device currently provides up to 36 capacitive sensing I / Os to achieve the ideal sensor pitch for screens up to 5 inches and supports independent CapSense® touch-sensitive buttons.

Leader in the touch sensing industry

Cypress's touch sensing product line is the industry's richest and most popular product line, including TrueTouch®, CapSense® and TrackPad solutions. Cypress ’s IP is unmatched, including a true single-layer sensor solution that can significantly reduce the cost of the touch screen, and technology that can support self-capacitance and mutual capacitance sensing on the same chip, which can achieve more advanced functions , Such as waterproof, proximity sensing, 1mm stylus support and hover function.

Availability

The new generation of Gen5 controllers can now provide samples to important customers. Cypress expects to provide mass production chips to important customers in the second quarter of 2013. There will be 3 products in this series, 44-pin 5 mm x 5 mm QFN / 28 sensor I / O, 44-pin 5 mm x 5 mm QFN / 33 sensor I / O, 48-pin 5 mm x 5 mm QFN / 36 sensor I / O.

USB3.0 - also considered SuperSpeed USB - for those with PC or audio / high-frequency device to provide a variety of devices connected to a standard interface. From the keyboard to high-throughput disk drive, a variety of devices can use this low-cost interface for smooth operation of the plug and play connectivity, users basically do not spend too much thought in it. The new USB 3.0 to maintain compatibility with USB 2.0 also provides several enhancements to the following:

Greatly increased bandwidth - up to 5Gbps full duplex (USB2.0 was 480Mpbs duplex) to achieve better power management enables the host to provide more power for the device to achieve USB-rechargeable battery, LED lighting And mini-fan applications. Enable faster identification of the host device the new agreement makes data processing more efficient USB 3.0 storage device can be limited by the rate of transferring large amounts of stored files (such as HD movies).
For example, a use of USB 3.0 flash drive in the 3.3 seconds to transfer 1GB of data to a host, and USB 2.0 requires 33 seconds. Consumer electronics devices by increasing the resolution and storage performance requirements driven by the hope that through a broadband Internet connection to achieve wider media applications, so users need faster transmission performance, to simplify the downloading, storage, and a large number of multimedia Content sharing. USB 3.0 to provide consumers with easy connectivity it needs played a crucial role. When the device when used in consumer, USB 3.0 will address not recognize USB2.0 devices without battery problems. Host to reduce the current through the USB 3.0 slow to recognize these devices, such as mobile phone battery has gone bad.
For the purposes of systems and ASIC developers, USB 3.0 chips and IP to ensure a wide range of practical requirements of each design can be met in a timely manner. The full range of support for standards such as USB 3.0 is particularly important because the speed, advanced protocol and a variety of cable length (from a few inches to several meters) makes the design and standards compliance as a challenge.
