The maXTouch S Series includes these devices:
mXT3432S
Fast, responsive touch performance for notebooks and
Ultrabooks with touchscreens up to 17.3’’ and designed
for Windows® 8, Android® and Linux operating systems
Accelerated Performance
Critical digital signal processing (DSP) functions are
im plemented in optimized hardware blocks in the devices
rather than in firmware. This hardware acceleration lets
you take advantage of touch performance enhancements
while still delivering devices with lower power and
increased battery life.
The combination of our thinner sensors and maXCharger
Tech nology results in superior responsiveness and
accuracy—without compromise to speed, jitter or power
consumption, even in noisy conditions.
Delivering Accurate, Real-Time,
Motion-Related Data
The newest members of the maXTouch family are
integrated with maXFusion™
sensor hub technology,
which delivers accurate, real-time, motion-related data
to enhance applications such as gaming, navigation
and virtual reality. maXFusion technology fuses
sensor inputs from accelerometers, gyroscopes and
magnetometers, processing location, orientation,
direction and inclination data in real time to visibly
improve all motion applications.
maXFusion technology is also available in a standalone
microcontroller (MCU), the Atmel mXF0100. The
mXF0100 is a complete Windows 8-certified sensor
hub solution based on an Atmel AVR® device. With
great flexibility in sensor support, you’ll be able to tap
into our sensor partner ecosystem and use the device
with the industry’s most popular sensors.
Atmel’s devices with maXFusion technology deliver a
3X performance improvement vs. existing architectures,
where sensors are managed by the applications pro-
cessor. What’s more, you get up to 50 percent lower
power compared to competitive offerings.
