The Atmel® touch technologies give human interfaces that uniquely personal feel that sparks success in the marketplace. With Atmel touch technology for touchscreens and fixed-function buttons, sliders, and wheels, users experience unparalleled performance and sensitivity without draining batteries. Designers can take full advantage of advanced features such as Atmel maXTouch™ unlimited touch capability and support for large screens — all implemented in a small package requiring a minimum of external components. Generous configuration options make the chips simple to implement in all kinds of applications. Atmel also offers the QTouch® Suite for implementing buttons, sliders, and wheels on Atmel microcontrollers.

  • Touchscreens — Our maXTouch™ touchscreen controller technology delivers superior performance and low power consumption, enabling touch interfaces that identify, qualify and track the user’s contacts with exceptional precision and sensitivity, while ignoring unintended touches.
  • Buttons, Sliders and Wheels — Our market-proven technology for implementing nonmechanical buttons, sliders and wheels offers excellent precision and reliability on any touch-sensitive device. The technology delivers low-power, low-cost characteristics, and supports simple configurations of 1 to 10 buttons up to scanned-matrix configurations of up to 48 buttons.
  • Atmel QTouch Library — Atmel QTouch® Library makes it simple for developers to embed capacitive-touch button, slider and wheel functionality into general-purpose Atmel AT91SAM and AVR® microcontroller applications. The royalty-free QTouch Library provides several library files for each device and supports different numbers of touch channels, enabling both flexibility and efficiency in touch applications.

Transform the User Experience with Atmel Touch Solutions

For the user, touch technology is all about sensitivity, speed, and accuracy. Users want an interface that senses their touches precisely and reliably, in the blink of an eye. And they want the interface to respond exactly as they expect it to, whether the function is invoked with a single touch (such as pushing a "soft" button) or multiple gestural touches (such as pinching to zoom or rotate a view).

Atmel is a global leader in capacitive touch technology, with more than 15 years of experience. Atmel transformative touch innovations offer superior performance and response times in robust, noise-resistant integrated circuits (ICs) designed to conserving power and save space. Atmel touch ICs are the first choice of product developers who want to go to market quickly with advanced technology that simplifies the design process, keeps component costs down, and meets the rigorous expectations of today’s user communities.

Device designers have the option of combining Atmel touch technology with leading-edge Atmel AT91SAM and AVR® microcontrollers. The QTouch Suite provides tools for implementing Atmel buttons, sliders, and wheels technology into a variety of applications.
