Cypress’s TrueTouch® Single-Chip Solution for Large Touchscreens Enables Direct Lamination to Sensor-on-Lens Technology

November 8, 2011

SAN JOSE, Calif., November 8, 2011 – Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced that its single-chip TrueTouch® controllers for large touchscreens, the CY8CTMA884 family, enables large-screen sensor-on-lens technology with direct lamination to the LCD. With this technology, manufacturers can deposit the conductive Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) sensor lines directly onto the cover glass. It only requires one panel, so tablets can be made much thinner, with less material costs and fewer manufacturing steps.

ANSYS Subsidiary Apache Design Launches RTL Power Model, Enabling Early Planning and Accelerating Ultra-Low Power Design Delivery

November 8, 2011

Pittsburgh – November 8, 2011 – ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) subsidiary Apache Design Inc. launched RTL Power Model (RPM™), a first-in-class innovative technology designed to optimize a wide range of power-sensitive applications, such as ultra-low-power electronics. RPM bridges the power gap from register-transfer-language (RTL) design to physical implementation. The new technology accurately predicts integrated circuit (IC) power behavior at the RTL level with consideration for how the design is physically implemented. As a result, the technology helps to enable chip power delivery network (PDN) and IC package design decisions early in the design process, as well as to ensure chip power … Read More → "ANSYS Subsidiary Apache Design Launches RTL Power Model, Enabling Early Planning and Accelerating Ultra-Low Power Design Delivery"
