maXTouch U Series
Enabling the Latest Generation
of Mobile Products
Create the touch experiences you always imagined with Atmel® maXTouch® U Series devices —
the newest additions to our capacitive touchscreen controller family.
Intelligent, Futuristic and Elegant
The maXTouch U Series puts the industry’s leading
capa­ itive touchscreen technology in the hands of
c
mobile device engineers. These revolutionary controllers
enable mobile OEMs to implement the superior touchscreen experience that consumers demand.

Revolutionary AdaptiveSensing Architecture
The maXTouch U Series architecture
combines the best of mutual- and
self-capacitance to ensure optimal touch
performance with the highest noise immunity
and lowest power consumption.

Finger Tracking Hover
The maXTouch U Series supports up to 25mm finger tracking performance — the touchscreen knows the precise
position of the fingertip prior to a touch contact. This unique
and futuristic experience opens a third dimension for intelligent mobile applications to interact with the user.

“Any Pen”– Passive
Stylus Support
Superior Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
enables very sensitive touch inputs,
such as a slim 1.0mm passive stylus.
This“any pen”experience allows
the user to interact with the device
using virtually any conductive device,
such as an HB pencil, ball­ oint pen,
p
spoon — or even a fingernail.

Glove Touch Support
maXTouch U Series touch controllers
support multi-finger glove touches.
Imagine users being able make or pick
up an incoming call, or play Angry
Birds, without taking off their ski gloves.

Moisture and Water Droplet
Touch Support
Robust moisture touch and recalibration capabilities make it possible to use a mobile device
in moist or rainy conditions without experiencing
any false touches or screen lock-up issues. So
users can navigate Google Maps or
capture those priceless moments
in any weather.

Integrated Capacitive Buttons
Without tying-up any X/Y lines from the touch controller, the maXTouch U Series supports dedicated hardware
IP for outside-screen touch buttons. Up to 10 channels
of buttons, sliders and wheels are supported through an
embedded hardware block, the Atmel Peripheral Touch
Controller (PTC).

Superior Noise Immunity
Combining the integrated charge pump for high-voltage
transmission lines and advanced frequency hopping intelligence, the maXTouch U Series delivers unparalleled signal
clarity through its advanced Analog Front End (AFE)
system. Its industry-leading Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
also allows the touchscreen system to perform consistently
and reliably under a variety of noisy conditions, such as
with low-quality chargers and ambient signal interferences.
