GEN4 AND GEN4X: HIGH - PERFORM ANCE TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLLERS
TrueTouch® is known for outstanding noise performance. Gen4 raised the bar for touchscreen
performance and Gen4X furthers Cypress’s leadership in noise suppression.
EXPANDING DESIGN POSSIBILITIES
• 10 V Tx drives high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for reliable signal detection in
noisy environments
• Low power consumption of 4.5 uW deep sleep

Designed to support on-cell and in-cell
stackups, even with noisy displays
•
Complete Solution Support
OS and manufacturing ready to
reduce system cost
•
Accelerated Time to Market
Easy design platform and in-house
experts to get you to market faster
• Excellent accuracy and linearity, typical at 0.5 mm
• Glove, face detection, and passive stylus features to differentiate your device
• Large screen support up to 8.3” with Gen4X
BREAKTHROUGH NOISE- ELIMINATING SOLUTIONS
Touchscreens are plagued by two major noise sources: charger noise and display noise.
The Gen4 family eliminates these challenges with innovative charger and
display noise-suppression technology.
Charger ArmorTM is an adaptive
technology that listens for charger noise
and activates advanced non-linear
filtering, adaptive frequency hopping, and
other techniques to eliminate both periodic
and broadband noise for unmatched
charger noise immunity.
Display Noise Elimination: The Gen4
family’s display sync feature enables it to
scan in the blanking times of the display,
allowing for in-cell and direct lamination
designs without a shield layer.

FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN
The Gen4 family provides the ultimate design flexibility and system cost reduction with its ability to
support both traditional on-stack or display integrated stackups, including single-layer sensors like SLIM ®.
This platform of single-chip solutions supports everything from mobile handsets to tablets. Gen4 provides
31, 35, 45, 56, and 65 Sense I/O offerings and can support screen sizes from 1.5” to 10.1”. Gen4X
is available in 28, 33, 36, and 58 Sense I/O options and supports screen sizes up to 8.3”.
DUALSENSE ™ : PATENTED SELF + MUTUAL CAPACITANCE SENSING
TrueTouch is the only line of touchscreen controllers that can provide both self and mutual capacitance
sensing on the same chip, and switch dynamically between the two in application. This unique ability
gives you the best of both technologies by combining robust signal acquisition and the ability to sense
the position of simultaneous touches. This enables Cypress to deliver our market-leading, built-in waterproofing capability that requires
no additional films or coatings.
DESIGN FOR THE REAL WORLD
In addition to outstanding performance in noise and water, the Gen4 family delivers a better mobile device user experience with support
for glove touch, passive stylus, and face detection. A 32-bit ARM Cortex processor delivers 150 Hz refresh rates to enable accurate
sensing of small signals like those of a passive stylus or gloved finger. Whether you need to use your phone in freezing temperatures,
jot down a few quick notes, or simply want to prevent accidental touch input while you’re on a call, Cypress can enable the right
features for the right task at the right time.
