Azoteq Announces Mouser Electronics as Exclusive Global Catalog Distributor
Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 08, 2011
Azoteq, the world leader in proximity and touch solutions, today announced that Mouser Electronics has been chosen as Azoteq’s exclusive worldwide catalog distributor. Azoteq’s ProxSense® offers the most sensitive capacitive sensing solutions with the highest signal to noise ratio (>1000:1) in the market today. The high sensitivity enables proximity sensing up to 300mm and the ability to implement touch solutions that can work through 20mm cover materials.
“Azoteq partnered with Mouser Electronics because Mouser offers excellent engineering resources and unsurpassed customer service that will make ProxSense® products available to a huge customer base”, said Kobus Marneweck, VP of Marketing at Azoteq.
“The addition of Azoteq to Mouser’s global line-card offers engineers easy access to their high-performance capacitive sensing semiconductor solutions,” added Mike Scott, Mouser Vice President of Semiconductors. “New designs incorporating touch and proximity sensing user interfaces offer consumers not only added functionality, but also aesthetically pleasing products.”
Proximity sensing enables new applications such as detecting when a user’s hand approaches the product. Features that can be implemented with proximity sensing include find-in-the-dark (enables backlight when hand approaches) and air gestures (wave hand to turn on/off, page and scroll). The combination of proximity and touch presents the next evolution in user interfaces.
Azoteq’s product line up consists of single channel and multi channel (2 to16 channel), surface and projected touch controllers for implementation of touch keys, panels and keypads. Azoteq’s also offers surface and projected touch screen controllers for screen sizes up to 15 inches. All devices provide proximity and touch detection. Azoteq offers evaluation kits for most of the devices that allow designers to get started quickly. The evaluation kits will also be available through Mouser.
