Projected-Capacitive Touch Sensing Technology

Projected-capacitive (PCAP) touch sensing technology is rapidly evolving to meet the advanced user-interface needs of modern applications. Popular consumer products that use multitouch and gestures have fueled an increased demand for projected-capacitive touch solutions beyond these applications. People expect to interact with most devices in the same manner as their smart phones and tablets. The challenge is that not all applications can afford the hardware, software and power budget associated with the current smartphone-optimized designs.
