SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel®
Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a global leader in microcontroller and
touch technology solutions, today announced the company is sampling
its next generation maXStylus mXTS220 to multiple global customers.
OEMs have been looking to expand the user adoption of active stylus
solutions on mobile devices by providing precise handwriting, lower
system and stylus cost, and easy-to-use styli that do not require
frequent battery changes.
The next-generation maXStylus mXTS220 capacitive active stylus
controller elevates the user experience with superior
responsiveness after every stroke which is a key requirement for a
'pen-to-paper' writing experience. Higher precision writing and
pressure sensing, with palms resting on the touchscreen, enable an
artistic writing experience with fluid strokes. The maXStylus
mXTS220 solution utilizes the capacitive touchscreen controller and
does not require an additional sensor layer, such as EMR
(electro-magnetic resonance) technology, for optimized solution
cost.
Atmel's maXStylus mXTS220 bidirectional architecture is the best
positioned in the industry to allow OEMs to build next-generation
styli with flexibility to interoperate with multiple digitizers.
The unique two-way architecture enables the stylus to detect
various noise sources so they can be avoided – a differentiation of
maXStylus that no other solution on the market offers today.
Enhanced noise immunity over existing capacitive solutions allows
flawless pen strokes without any line breaks or missing strokes
while further extending battery life.
"The ability to create content on your mobile devices, including
smartphones, tablets, notebooks and Ultrabooks, is quickly becoming
a key differentiating factor in OEM designs," said Shar Narasimhan, Sr. Product Manager of Touch
Marketing, Atmel Corporation. "As a leader in the touch market, we
are excited to bring one of the most precise active stylus
solutions to the market, enabling a pen-to-paper experience on a
touchscreen while meeting future OEM requirements with the
flexibility of an interoperable platform."
