Description STMT07

1 Description

The STMT07 device represents a marked improvement over competing technologies by providing an optimal mix of low power, small size, feature flexibility with unmatched true multi-touch performance in a single-chip touchscreen controller.

The FingerTip STMT07 uses a unique capacitance to voltage conversion acquisition engine to implement the S-Touch

capacitive sensing method. Coupled with the flexibility offered by the internal processor engine, the entire touchscreen sensing solution can measure, classify and track a single finger touch with fast report rate and response times on 736 nodes. Builtin movement tracking engine tracks greater than 10 independent touch movements.

The acquisition engine uses an optimal measurement approach to ensure almost complete immunity from parasitic capacitance on the receiver inputs (sense lines). The engine includes sufficient dynamic range to cope with touchscreens of different size and configuration. This offers great flexibility to use with multiple touchscreens with different ITO designs and overlay materials. One and two layer ITO sensors are possible using glass or PET substrates.

The STMT07's capacitive analog front-end provides enhanced noise suppression capabilities for various noise sources such as display, human body captured noise, system generated noise and severe common mode noise introduced by battery chargers. ST’s advanced capacitive sensing technology coupled with a powerful digital 32-bit DSP engine is able to address common mode noise to provide high level of noise immunity without reducing the overall touch performance in terms of response time, frame rate and power consumption.

The device has an external SYNC pin for LCD noise filtering for an "on-cell" display touchscreen technology. The synchronization of the signal acquisition with the LCD SYNC signal helps in removal of LCD noise. This benefits the touch module maker to employ glass screens with ITO to be used without any GND shield that can significantly reduce the cost of the touch module.

The STMT07 supports multiple input types including stylus detection (up to 2 mm) for smooth handwriting capability on touchscreens while detecting and rejecting large area such as palm or hand. The device also supports touchkeys using the same ITO.

The main processor engine offers flexibility with required performance by an efficient preprocessing, post-processing and house-keeping. This gives ample scope for sensing algorithm, touch tracking or advanced shape based filtering, area definition and event reporting. Built-in associated processor memory (ROM, RAM) is optimized to run the desired fixed program codes in the ROM and to maintain the data, event stack and system variables in a RAM. An additional patch RAM can be used for implementing customized codes or algorithms.
