Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
(NASDAQ: CY), a global
leader in controllers for car
infotainment systems, and
MyScript, an industry pioneer in
automotive HMI technologies,
have joined forces to include
MyScript’s intuitive and precise
handwriting
recognition
technology to automotive
designers worldwide powered by Cypress’s Traveo™
microcontroller (MCU) family. MyScript’s automotive HMI input
method technology enables a low-distraction user interface.
Drivers can write characters or numerals, or simply gesture
with their fingertips on a touchscreen or touchpad to quickly
and discreetly accomplish important tasks, such as selecting
a destination, making a telephone call or noting information.
Cypress offers TrueTouch
®
capacitive touchscreen and
touchpad solutions with industry-leading resistance to electrical
noise, glove touch and water resistance, which combine with
the Traveo MCU solutions to enable innovative and robust
automotive HMI.
“We are excited to partner with Cypress to bring the benefits
of handwriting input to the Traveo MCU family and significantly
enhance the driver user experience,” said Olivier Cros, Director
of Global Automotive Sales at MyScript. “The joint integration
development activity will bring MyScript’s award winning
automotive HMI solutions to the compact automotive segment,
expanding the number of drivers that can now enjoy the
benefits of a low-distraction input method within the vehicle.”
Cypress and MyScript have been working together in the
Cypress and MyScript® Announce Partnership for Automotive
Industry
automotive market achieving
several large successes and
are now intensifying their
activities together to bring a
faster time-to-market solution
to automotive developers for
dashboards, navigation, head-
up displays and HVAC systems
in vehicles.
“Our partnership with MyScript marks another example of
Cypress’s commitment to bring innovative HMI automotive
systems to the mass market,” said Nils Bossemeyer, Systems
Application EngineeringManager for AutomotiveMicrocontrollers
at Cypress. “This partnership adds to our ability to serve as a
one-stop resource for our automotive customers, combining
our Traveo MCU family and MyScript’s handwriting input
technology together with our broad line of memory products,
PMICs, TrueTouch
®
touchscreen controllers and CapSense
®
touch-sensing HMI solutions.”
Integration of the new Traveo family members with the award-
winning MyScript handwriting input recognition technology will
streamline design timelines and greatly enhance the driving
experience. A unified effort will embed handwriting recognition
together with the latest Traveo MCUs offerings, which represent
another step forward in bringing the luxury car user experience
to the mass market. By offering a high-performance and
scalable platform, Cypress customers can affordably deliver a
high-end and non-distractive input method in compact vehicles.
FDSOI technology for chip design and fabrication.
“These results, which highlight the technology depth of
the Grenoble ecosystem, stem from more than a decade of
research on ways to use FDSOI-nanowire silicon technologies
to design devices with an accurate control of single charge,”
said Maud Vinet, Leti’s advanced CMOS manager. “We are
currently leveraging this R&D activity, which relies primarily
on extensive research in low-temperature physics of ultra-
scaled MOS FET properties developed by Leti and Inac, to
investigate the potential that silicon FDSOI technology has
for quantum computing.”
Leti and its long-time research partner Inac have been
investigating a silicon-on-insulator technology for quantum
computing applications that could rely on the scalability
originally developed for CMOS VLSI circuits. Applying Inac’s
expertise in cryogenic electrical measurements and Leti’s
SOI nanowire FET technology, the teams also demonstrated
the co-integration of quantum devices with conventional
CMOS control electronics (ring oscillators) on 300 mm SOI
substrates.
