Zacks

Leading microcontroller and touch solutions provider Atmel Corporation ATML announced that nubia had chosen Atmel’s award-winning maXTouch T-series solution to power its borderless Z9 smartphone.

Atmel's distinctive, proprietary single-layer pattern enables a borderless and futuristic industrial design for advanced handsets. The maXTouch controllers deliver advanced algorithms, which coupled with Atmel's adaptive sensing technology, facilitate virtual edge keys and sliders. OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are thus able to leverage with new UI (User Interface) concepts and revolutionize the way users interact with their smartphones.

The controllers can support up to 10 touches with wake-up gesture libraries and excellent calibration recovery, thus allowing robust touch performance and exceptional noise immunity. The company’s single-layer on-cell solution leverages its patented sensor designs and innovative software algorithms, to deliver unmatched touch performance. Atmel’s unique, proprietary single-layer pattern enabled a bezel-free design in nubia Z9 smartphone, which gives the illusion of a borderless display.

Its adaptive sensing and edge-sensing technology are the key facilitators of the pioneering edge keys and gestures in nubia’s flagship handset.

To streamline the design process and step up the development time and accelerate time-to-market, the maXTouch products are supported by the maXTouch Studio tool suite as well as Atmel's top-notch engineering team.

In today's rapidly-evolving smartphone market, next-generation industrial designs and updated display technologies prove to be crucial differentiating factors for OEMs to make their products stand out from the competition. As a key facilitator for the same, Atmel is striving to expand its maXTouch products with enhanced touch performance to deliver on the accelerated demand for display integrated touch solutions.

Atmel currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks in the semiconductor industry that are worth a look now include Ambarella, Inc. AMBA, Cirrus Logic Inc. CRUS and Silicon Motion Technology Corp. SIMO, each carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
