The controller’s patented analog intellectual property (IP) promises high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance with faster scan speeds and what STMicroelectronics calls the industry’s greatest number of channels, which translates into a higher touch resolution.

Also, the controller offers ultra-low power consumption and advanced noise cancellation. It supports the latest on-cell LCD technology that eliminates the need for a ground shielding layer between the display and the touch sensor. And, it boasts 288 (18 by 16) nodes and 8 kV of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection (human body model).

Supporting thinner displays and enhancing the user experience, the S-Touch FingerTip controller from STMicroelectronics offers true multi-touch capability with unlimited simultaneous touches.

The devices are available in two packages: a 7- by 7-mm QFN 56 (quad flat no lead) and a 3- by 3-mm flip-chip CSP 49 (chip-scale package).
