Best-in-Class Performance

Highest SNR Fastest Refresh & Scan Rates Lowest Power Consumption Superior Accuracy & Multi-Finger Linearity Unmatched Advanced Features

Unrivaled Touch Leadership

Cypress has the world's broadest portfolio of touchscreen solutions. More companies have adopted our technology than anyone else in the industry. We have been granted dozens of touchscreen patents, and have hundreds more touch-specific patents pending. Our continued leadership in the touchscreen space means that we respond to new challenges and market trends with truly innovative solutions.

Expanding Partner Ecosystem

Cypress has the largest and most flexible global partner base. Our broad partnership reach, including glass or film ITO partners, display vendors, and module providers enables cost and manufacturing control and allows you to separate your designs from the competition.

Hover Senses and tracks a finger hovering above the surface of the touchscreen Works with gloves and long fingernails Can differentiate between hover and direct input Opens a new world of UI possibilities for 3D displays, gaming applications, and more

SLIM™ Single-Layer Independent Multitouch Sensor for screens up to 4.5” Slashes manufacturing cost with only one ITO layer and no bridges Works with sensor-on-lens & display integrated stackups for the thinnest designs yet No bezel required for borderless designs

Display Armor™ Developed specifically to overcome display noise Uses two distinct methods to detect and neutralize noise First built-in hardware solution - no air gaps or shields needed

Charger Armor™ Unmatched noise immunity - up to 95 Vpp Improves SNR and reduces phantom touches Works effectively with the noisiest third-party chargers for noticeably improved performance

Waterproofing Works with wet or sweaty fingers Touchscreen isn't affected by water on the surface Devices in production today use TrueTouch to meet strict IP-67 waterproofing standards

1mm Stylus Support Supports slim, resistive-style stylus Can sense a point as small as 1mm Improved handwriting capture and portability; easier to complete delicate tasks or navigation

Touchscreens are a rapidly evolving technology, and the market is quickly shifting to capacitive touch because of its ability to support full multitouch capability, including complex gestures. A capacitive touchscreen detects changes in measured capacitance to determine the location of one or more fingers on the surface of the touchscreen. The capacitive touchscreen consists of a sensor, a touchscreen controller, and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) that connects them all together.

Self + Mutual Capacitance

TrueTouch is the only line of touchscreen controllers that can provide both self and mutual capacitance sensing on the same chip, and switch dynamically between the two in application. This unique and patent-pending capability gives you the best of both technologies, enabling the development of truly advanced features for touchscreen devices like true waterproofing, 1mm stylus support, and hover.

Mutual Capacitance Measures capacitance through intersections of horizontal and vertical sensor lines (X*Y) More sensors for higher accuracy and true multitouch capability

Self Capacitance Measures capacitance through individual sensor lines (X + Y) Stronger signal for greater touch sensitivity without lowering noise threshold Doesn?t support multifinger functionality

Combining self plus mutual capacitance measurement with differential signal analysis in the same device delivers advanced features that work in the real world for unbeatable performance.

Sensor Materials & Design

Touchscreen sensors are complex structures. They are built by sputtering indium tin oxide (ITO) onto a glass or PET (plastic film) substrate, and etching away a proprietary pattern into the ITO. The patterns and structures of layers in the sensor vary based on design need, and are custom to that individual system design.



On-stack is a traditional topology, and products are beginning to trend towards Sensor-On-Lens, direct lamination, on-cell, or in-cell systems. TrueTouch provides the ultimate design flexibility and system cost reduction with our ability to support all of these sensor materials and stackups. Our controllers can be mounted on either the FPC or the PCB, and have configurable pinouts to suit a variety of needs.

TrueTouch for the Way You Live

TrueTouch controllers can be found in many devices that help simplify your life. The high performance and reliable user experience that our customers have come to expect from TrueTouch-powered touchscreens can be found in an increasingly large number of applications.

Evolving to Meet Your Needs as Quickly as They Change

Tap. Swipe. Zoom. Rotate. Type. Different devices can use all, some, or only one of these gestures. But whether you need a single touch or multi-finger input, TrueTouch has the solution. Our platform of single-chip solutions supports everything from mobile handsets to tablets. We are the world leader in small touchscreen packages, with chips available at 3 x 3 mm or smaller. TrueTouch also supports multiple stackup options for the most flexible and cost-reduced designs, including sensor-on-lens, on-cell, in-cell, and direct lamination.

We provide more than just a touchscreen controller. With TrueTouch, you get the silicon, software, tools, design, and system-level expertise you need in one convenient package. We provide assisted tuning in our GUI for easy design implementation, as well as development and evaluation kits to assist in your design process (click here to request one).
