Atmel: maXTouch T-series Touchscreen Controller Stylus and Glove Touch Demo

This video demonstrates thin stylus and thick glove sensing capabilities of Atmel's mXT640T, the latest maXTouch T-series touchscreen controller. Atmel recently unveiled the mXT640T, mXT336T, and mXT224T devices, expanding the company's popular maXTouch T series of touchscreen controllers. The new devices bring the most comprehensive touch features to support touchscreens ranging from 3.2" to 8.3" for next-generation mobile devices including smartphones, phablets and mid-size tablets. The T Series incorporates Atmel's Adaptive Sensing technology to enable dynamic touch classification, a feature that automatically and intelligently switches between self- and mutual-capacitance sensing to provide users a seamless transition between a finger touch, hover, passive or active stylus, or glove touch. This new feature eliminates the need for users to manually enable 'glove mode' in the operating system to differentiate between hover and glove modes. Adaptive Sensing also dramatically reduces the power consumption in the device for longer battery life. The innovative analog front-end is equipped with advanced and flexible settings to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) prior to digital processing, eliminating signal distortions induced by water and noisy chargers. The new T Series enables superior touch performance with single-layer sensors as compared to the most recently announced solutions.
