Having already replaced more than 2.5 billion buttons, Capsense touch-
sensing solutions are changing the face of industrial design. They enable
designers to create the stylish products customers demand in applications
such as cell phones, PCs, consumer electronics, white goods, automotive,
and industrial.
What’s more, Capsense solutions leverage Cypress’s robust PsoC®
programmable system-on-chip architecture, which accelerates time-to-market,
integrates a variety of critical system functions, and reduces boM costs.
PsoC technology also dramatically simplifies embedded system
development with a drag-and-drop design environment that provides the
unparalleled flexibility to make changes late in the design cycle.
Touch. Multi-touch. style and substance combine to make Capsense touch-
sensing solutions the solution of choice for the world’s most successful brands.
