3M Touch Systems has introduced MicroTouch SC series of touch screen controllers.

The new MicroTouch SC series supports 3M Touch Systems' full range of resistive touch screens for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) while providing flexibility and high performance at a cost-effective price.

The new MicroTouch SC series of touch screen controllers provides support for both serial communications interface with plug and play capability and universal serial bus (USB) interface.

The controllers are compliant with the USB - human interface device (HID) driver standard, which is quickly becoming an important customer requirement.

Features of the MicroTouch SC series include fast and accurate touch response, extended temperature support, and high-performance specifications.

The new MicroTouch SC series touch screen controllers take advantage of an enhanced voltage-detection method utilising design components.

In order to provide integration design flexibility for customers, the new MicroTouch SC series of resistive controllers maintain the same form and fit as the new MicroTouch EX II controllers from 3M Touch Systems.

Available in a compact 1" x 2" format, and supporting 4, 5, and 8-wire resistive touch screens as well as the specialty resistive products, the MicroTouch SC series of touch screen controllers are designed for easy integration onto LCD panels.
