Automotive touch controllers support proximity detection, force sensing
The ClearPad automotive solutions include S7883, S7884, S7885, and S7886. The S7883/4 (80 channels) and S7884/6 (102 channels) enable touchscreens up to 14 inches and an industry-leading 17 inches respectively.
These touch controllers detect proximity (hand coming towards the display), and perform while wearing gloves and under moist screen or finger conditions. Additionally, the S7884/86 products feature Synaptics’ innovative ClearForce pressure sensing technology, enabling variable force to power unique touchscreen features specified by OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers.
The chips meet ISO 11452 standards for automotive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), Automotive Electronics Council (AEC-Q100) specifications for use in harsh automotive environments, and are PPAP compliant.
