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.

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.
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 (
