Touch sensor deal
Omron and Renesas are to jointly develop capacitive touch sensor solutions, a field that is attracting a great deal of interest as a next-generation man-machine interface.
Renesas will integrate Omron's touch sensor expertise into its R8C family of 16-bit microcontrollers and supply touch sensor solutions for a wide range of fields, including household appliances and mobile devices.
By creating a hardware version of Omron's touch sensors in the form of a touch detection circuit and integrating it into Renesas's R8C family of MCU products as a single chip solution, users will have improved touch sensor sensitivity and more accurate touch detection; reduced power consumption; compact size; and reduced cost.
