Cypress Semiconductor has introduced the TrueTouch touchscreen design platform based on the PSoC programmable system-on-chip architecture.

The single-chip touchscreen design can interpret up to 10 inputs from all areas of the screen simultaneously.

Examples of applications for the multi-touch all-point functionality include keyboard implementations, inputting multiple locations into a GPS and making multiple adjustments to sound and/or video settings on a screen-based user interface.

The PSoC also integrates functions such as driving LEDs, backlight control and I/O expansion. These functions, in conjunction with flexible communication options (I2C and SPI), allow for unparalleled system integration for touchscreen systems.

The TrueTouch family includes the CY8CTST1xx single-touch devices, the CY8CTMG1xx multi-touch gesture devices and the CY8CTMA100 multi-touch all point device. The products, offered in 32- and 56-pin QFN packages, are expected to sample in August with production in September.
