Atmel has confirmed that its maXTouch T Series controllers have been integrated in a substantial number of newly launched Windows 8.1 touch-enabled systems – with the company expecting to extend its leadership position as the market adopts Windows 8.1 platforms.
As we’ve previously discussed on Bits & Pieces, Atmel leads the industry in Windows 8 certifications as its maXTouch controllers enable the touchscreens for over 115 Win 8 and 8.1 tablets, Ultrabooks and notebooks.
The first maXTouch T Series devices – the 2952T and 1664T – launched in the second quarter, provide the first single-chip solutions for screen sizes from 8.9” to 15.6” and deliver optimized touch performance including active and passive stylus, enhanced moisture immunity, glove support and advanced noise immunity.
As a co-engineering partner with Microsoft, Atmel has developed high-performance touch controllers to meet the touchscreen specifications for Windows 8.1. The T Series exceeds all of these requirements, all while providing ultra-low power consumption.
As noted above, Atmel’s maXTouch T Series devices are currently shipping in numerous Windows 8.1 products including the ASUS T100, Samsung ATIV Tab 3, Microsoft Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro.
“Atmel’s maXTouch controllers continue to lead the market as the performance solution for meeting the stringent testing requirements of Windows 8.1,” said Rob Frizzell, Director of Large Touchscreen Products, Atmel. “We expect the adoption of touch to continue growing with the release of Windows 8.1. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Microsoft to bring a superior user experience to consumers around the globe.”
