Configurable Capacitive Sensing Solution Allows Customers
to Develop Customized Interfaces From Concept Through Mass
Production

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 2 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer
of interface solutions for computing, communications, and
entertainment devices, has announced Synaptics OneTouch.
Synaptics OneTouch is a configurable solution based on
Synaptics' capacitive sensing technology, which includes
design tools, products, and technical support to enable
customers to develop their own custom interface designs for
capacitive buttons and scrolling applications. 

    The OneTouch solution consists of a family of
capacitive sensing chips, easy to use GUI-based design and
development tools, and documentation that takes the
customer through the entire process from concept to mass
production. The configurable OneTouch solution leverages
Synaptics' capacitive interface expertise with a focus on
design integration and usability considerations,
sensitivity tuning and board testing to ensure
manufacturability with high yield. Expert local and factory
technical support is available to customers throughout the
entire process.

    "Capacitive touch sensing interfaces have come a
long way from the initial touchpad designs in notebooks
PCs, with a growing number of OEMs and ODMs across many
applications and markets now adopting the technology for
different implementations," said Francis Lee,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics.
"While custom module solutions remain essential to a
wide range of products and applications, some of these
emerging implementations require our customers to have a
more streamlined and integrated design process to meet
market timing requirements. The addition of Synaptics
OneTouch to our product offerings allows us to efficiently
address the variable needs of our customers by offering
them the flexibility to control the development of their
own interface solutions utilizing our proven technology and
know-how."

    Synaptics OneTouch is based on the reliable and proven
core technology that Synaptics has developed and used over
the last 10 years to provide over 250 million capacitive
interface solutions to the PC, mobile phone, and portable
digital entertainment markets. The Synaptics OneTouch
toolset has been built specifically to help Synaptics'
customers design capacitive interface solutions that will
enhance the usability and industrial design of their
products.  The simplified design process encapsulated in
the Synaptics OneTouch solution will enable customers to
explore the possibilities of capacitive sensing quickly and
more autonomously.

    "Synaptics OneTouch expands and complements our
existing portfolio of human interface solutions and offers
our customers an alternative approach to implement a
Synaptics capacitive sensing interface in their
products," said Tom Tiernan, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Synaptics. "With the introduction of
Synaptics OneTouch, we offer the industry's most compelling
portfolio of interface solutions to best serve a growing
customer base."
