PSOC™ Automotive Multitouch Gen6XL
Revolutionize in-car infotainment with PSOC™ Automotive Multitouch Gen6XL
PSOC™ Automotive Multitouch Gen6XL is a touch controller family leveraging Infineon’s 10 years of experience in the touch controller sector. Infineon’s register configurable methodology provides tried and tested algorithms developed over >200-man years of automotive firmware development.
A capacitive touchscreen detects changes in capacitance to determine the location of one or more fingers on the sur-face of the touchscreen. A typical touchscreen system consists of a capacitive touchscreen sensor, an FPC bonded to the sensor, and the touchscreen controller mounted on the FPC or PCB. The touchscreen controller then connects to a host processor.
PSOC™ Automotive Multitouch Gen6XL - CYAT8168X is a capacitive touchscreen controller with the sensing and processing technology to resolve the locations and report the positions of up to ten fingers on the touchscreen. The touchscreen controller converts an array of sensor capacitances into an array of digital values, which are processed by touch-detection and position-resolution algo-rithms in the controller. These algorithms determine the location and signal magnitude of each finger on the touchscreen.

System benefits of our PSOC™ Automotive Multitouch Gen6XL family
The PSOC Automotive Gen6XL touch controller is a highly reliable and customizable device specifically designed for the automotive industry. It is Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q100 qualified and complies with MISRA-C / IATF 16949 standards. It features a 32-bit Arm Cortex CPU and is register-configurable with noise-suppression technology for display and EMI. The device is equipped with a variety of features such as AutoArmor, water rejection, wet-finger tracking, and automatic glove mode switching. It can handle screen sizes up to 15 inches, supports up to 10 touches at up to 250 Hz, and offers communication options including I2C up to 400 kbps and SPI up to 8 Mbps. The device comes in 128-pin and 100-pin TQFP packages, with ambient temperature ranges of Automotive-A: –40°C to 85°C and Automotive-S: –40°C to 105°C.
Gen6XL provides a seamless integration of a capacitive wake-up button. Capable of operating <50 µA for the low-power wake-up button scan to have power budget left for other system components. Enables implementation of both touchscreen and wake-up button functionality using a single integrated device reducing board space and costs.
