Synaptics ClearView display drivers support resolutions from WVGA (800×480) to FHD (1080p) and beyond, and enable a broad range of applications, including clusters, infotainment displays, and heads-up displays. The display drivers' touch-controller synchronization enables high-resolution yet cost-effective displays.

Features:

• Advanced image processing for enhanced brightness
• Low power consumption, minimizing heat while maintaining a vibrant image
• Contrast optimization of light and dark image areas simultaneously
• Sunlight readability enhancement for improved image quality under direct sunlight
• Support for one-billion colors -- an industry first!
• Image Studio tools that enable adjustment of gamma and color to optimize image quality
• Touch and display synchronization, enabling advanced display noise management and in-cell touch sensing

Natural ID fingerprint sensors provide the automotive market with strong biometric security for vehicle access, personalization of settings, and mobile transactions. Synaptics fingerprint-based automotive solutions can be used for either driver or passenger identification and authentication by seamlessly integrating the sensor into various vehicle controls, such as in the steering wheel, start button or infotainment screen.  Fingerprint sensors can also act as navigation devices to control menus on a heads-up display or instrument cluster.

The highest levels of security are built into every facet of Natural ID products. The technology's proprietary image-processing and matching algorithms ensure industry-leading performance, as measured by false-acceptance and false-rejection rates.

Features:

• High-performance capacitive fingerprint imaging and sophisticated digital-image processing that deliver accurate matching and security
• A broad portfolio of products that includes encapsulated button modules and low-profile, small-footprint packages, allowing integration into tight spaces
• Online-transaction readiness and FIDO certification to enable safe payments with FIDO-compliant services, reducing users' dependence on cumbersome passwords
• Gesture recognition for combined user authentication and navigation

Synaptics SafeSense, Design Studio and Image Studio streamline the touchscreen design process, while reducing total design cost and accelerating the time to market. The tool suites assist designers in creating optimal products that are tightly aligned with target design and performance specifications. They work seamlessly with multiple display configurations and stack-ups, including discrete sensor, on-glass-sensor, on-cell, and in-cell solutions.

SafeSense makes design simulation easy.  It comprehends all factors that can affect touchscreen performance, such as the sensor pattern, substrate material, size, structure, stack-up, and front-lens thickness. By simulating a design first, time and resource expenditures are minimized.

Design Studio includes tuning and configuration wizards, production test tools, and diagnostics tools that configure and test chips and modules built using Synaptics capacitive sensing technology. Choice of materials, thickness of glass, and system architecture impact touch performance. Synaptics Design Studio allows designers to set firmware parameters (such as baseline capacitance and operating frequency) to optimize the touch performance of a particular touchscreen design. The result is excellent responsiveness, sensitivity and finger-tracking. The tools also allow the designer to enable and configure advanced features such as side touch, moisture tolerance, and gesture recognition.

Image Studio features wizards for tuning and configuration, as well as diagnostics tools that configure and test the modules based on Synaptics display driver ICs. Synaptics Image Studio allows designers to adjust color settings -- gamma, warmth, white point, color targets, and backlight intensity --  to optimize the display performance for a particular design, resulting in vibrant images with excellent color and low power consumption.

Because automotive applications require that components perform under extreme operating conditions, Synaptics automotive products adhere to the company's zero-defect quality commitment and are designed to meet strict industry standards, including:

• AEC-Q100 component qualification
• Quality management system (QMS) meeting ISO/TS 16949 standards
• Automotive SPICE software process improvement
• Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
• ISO 11452 and CISPR25 compliant
