The ClearPad™ Series 7 Family

ClearPad Series 7 touchscreen solutions are optimized to meet the advanced user input needs of media tablets, slates, touch-driven notebooks, and e-readers. ClearPad Series 7 enables OEMs to deliver the most compelling and highly differentiated tablet devices to market with the shortest development times and lowest costs.

Optimized for Tablets and Clamshell PCs

Synaptics ClearPad Series 7 deliver excellent performance and compact single-ASIC and multi-ASIC architectures for both small and large tablets, as well as clamshell PC devices. ClearPad 7020 is designed for touch active areas up to 8.2”, and features high performance, low power operation, and a compact footprint. ClearPad 7300 and 7301 are the premier single-ASIC solutions for large touchscreens up to 12”, and offer the highest performance in easy-to-integrate single-ASIC offerings. ClearPad 7300 and 7301 deliver extremely low power consumption and require minimal passive components—only four capacitors—to enable lighter, thinner form factors while reducing development time and integration effort.

ClearPad 7440 and 7470 are high-performance multi-ASIC solutions designed to meet the needs of Win8 clamshell PCs with touch displays up to 15.6” diagonal.

ClearPad Series 7 Features and Benefits

• Highly Customizable
  Synaptics ClearPad solutions are highly customizable to meet the most challenging size, aspect ratio, performance, and integration requirements. Series 7 touch controllers accommodate a wide range of sensor implementations and stackups, including discrete glass and PET, On-Cell, On-Glass-Sensor, and shield-less designs.
• Easy to Integrate
  Single-ASIC Series 7 solutions are designed for simple integration, with very small discrete component requirements and minimal physical and electrical footprints. Multi-ASIC Series 7 solutions are delivered as complete daughterboard or flex tail subsystems, ready for assembly with the sensor or target device. All Series 7 solutions minimize development cycles and accelerate time-to-market with class-leading Synaptics development tools and local technical support.
• Accurate and Responsive
  High sensing channel counts and advanced algorithms enable more accurate and responsive touch sensing performance over the entire touchscreen surface—including the edges.
