Azoteq Announces 4.3” Low Cost Multi-Touch Projected Capacitive Touchscreen with Controller
Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- Azoteq, the world leader in capacitive proximity sensing, today announced IQS550-TS43 4.3” multi-touch projected capacitive touchscreen, the first capacitive touchscreen solution to cost less than resistive touchscreens. The touchscreen with the IQS550 projected capacitive controller interface board is priced at $9.10 in 1K quantities.
The IQS550-TS43 combines a 4.3” touch screen with the IQS550 controller to provide 3584 x 2304 touch resolution. The IQS550 supports scan rates up to 100 Hz and multi-touch up to 5 fingers. The IQS550 communicates through an I2C interface to a host controller. Azoteq provides a driver for quick integration into an existing system. In addition Azoteq provides the CT210 I2C to USB adapter and the IQS5xx GUI for debugging on a PC. The IQS550-TS43 features a unique proximity mode which, allows <10uA current in standby while still sensing proximity.
“Azoteq realized that current projected capacitive touchscreens are too expensive for low and medium volume customers because there are no of-the-shelf solutions. Azoteq offers a complete projected capacitive touchscreen solution, making it easy to add a touchscreen to any LCD product,” said Kobus Marneweck, VP of Marketing at Azoteq.
