Samsung selects Atmel controller to power touchscreen for Galaxy S II Smartphone
The support of "on-cell" and other thin touchscreen constructions enable manufacturers – such as Samsung with the Galaxy S II smartphone – to take cutting-edge designs faster-to-market so consumers can enjoy sleeker, thinner, brighter touchscreen handsets.
The Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone runs on the Android OS version 2.3, also known as Gingerbread, and includes a 4.3-inch super AMOLED with a capacitive touchscreen powered by the Atmel maXTouch 224E controller. The smartphone includes up to 32GB of internal memory, an 8-megapixel front- and rear-facing camera, a GPS, and Wi-Fi connection with HSDPA. The Galaxy S2 includes a TouchWiz 4.0 interface with music, gaming and e-reading hubs.
With the new Atmel maXTouch 224E controller, Samsung Galaxy S II users can experience unlimited touches, faster response times, higher accuracy, lower power, and superior sensitivity. In addition, the E-series architecture noise immunity provides a flawless touch experience, even with unqualified after-market chargers and in the presence of other ‘noise’ (such as WiFi and microwave signals).
