SAN JOSE, Calif., June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a leader in
microcontroller (MCU) and touch technology solutions, today
announced ASUS has selected Atmel's maXTouch®
controllers to power the touchscreen and active stylus pen of its
newly launched 10.1" Z300 tablet. The 10.1" Z300 tablet is the
world's first on-cell touchscreen with capacitive active stylus pen
support enabling a precise 'pen-to-paper' writing experience for
more content generation on today's digital devices. On-cell
displays enable thinner designs for next-generation mobile
products.
The ASUS Z300 tablet uses one of the industry's most advanced
capacitive styli, Atmel's maXStylus® mXTS220—the only active pen
with noise immunity capable of operating in the high display noise
environment emitted by ultra-thin on-cell stackups. The touchscreen
on this tablet is powered by Atmel's maXTouch® T-series touchscreen
controller, featuring a revolutionary sensing architecture that
combines both mutual and self-capacitance to enhance performance.
Atmel's maXStylus and maXTouch integrate seamlessly to create a
flawless user experience in even the most demanding conditions.
"As a leading provider of innovative mobile devices for the
worldwide market, ASUS continues to bring superior products to
market," said Shar Narasimhan,
Senior Product Manager of Touch Marketing, Atmel Corporation. "The
selection of Atmel's maXTouch controllers for the industry's first
10.1" on-cell tablet with capacitive active stylus by ASUS is
further testament that we are enabling OEMs to deliver leading-edge
digital lifestyle products."
"As a leading manufacturer of mobile devices, our products are
only built with world-class components," said Samson Hu, Corporate Vice President & GM of
Mobile Product Business Unit. "Atmel's industry-leading stylus
capabilities enabled us to deliver a much thinner on-cell display
stack for more elegant designs with a best-in-class active pen
experience. We look forward to launching more advanced devices with
intuitive human interfaces powered by Atmel."
