  • Dimension

  • Electrical interfaces

Our TouchPad devices also offer advanced device driver features that allow users to customize their TouchPad device settings to meet their individual preferences.

InterTouch

Synaptics has designed a new Image Sensing TouchPad that can provide full-time tracking of up to 10 fingers simultaneously. This new capability places new demands on the interface between the TouchPad and the host -- demands which exceed the capacity of the PS/2 interface. The existing, legacy PS/2 limits bandwidth for utilizing Image Sensor capabilities. Currently, the PS/2 interface constrains Image Sensor to being able to count 4 TouchPad finger contacts and track 2 fingers full-time.

Synaptics InterTouch utilizes a high bandwidth internal bus for true Multi-Touch “Full-Time Finger Tracking”, enabling a richer gesture-driven user experience. InterTouch is an open architecture using existing industry standard, higher-speed bus interfaces and whose specification will be available to any OEM and any touchpad provider. Additional InterTouch capabilities include:

  • Cross Platform & Brands: will work with all Synaptics TouchPads, ClickPads, open to third party touchpads
  • Enhanced Gestures: true multi-finger gesture tracking and counting
  • Re-flash/Re-programmability: greatly increases data throughput providing fast re-flash times

Synaptics InterTouch is designed for full compatibility with the current and future Windows platforms, and will also be supported on Linux-based platforms in future releases.
