MaxTouch MXT2912TD-UW Touchscreen Controller
Supports LCD and OLED touch displays up to 45 inches


Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP) today announced the availability of its maXTouch® MXT2912TD-UW touchscreen controller, which simplifies the development of automotive screen systems up to 45 inches, addressing the growing trend toward larger in-vehicle displays, such as clusters and center stacks. The single-chip solution, certified to ISO 26262, supports LCD and OLED display technologies.

The MXT2912TD-UW reduces the need for multiple touch controllers within a vehicle's human-machine interface (HMI) display. It delivers the highest report rate for wide displays and is independent of display resolution, providing a smartphone-like user experience. The MaxTouch family's unique signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) supports detection and tracking across a wide range of overlay materials and thicknesses, even in wet conditions (multi-finger thick gloves).

The MXT2912TD-UW provides a variety of safety-related features for functional safety in road vehicles, simplifying the functional safety certification path for display module systems. This includes periodic self-tests, touch sensor tests, internal flash and RAM tests, full signal data integrity checks, and additional MPU core tests. The embedded firmware is compatible with the Automotive SPICE® (A-SPICE) process.

Microchip offers complementary devices to support touchscreen controllers, including LDOs, 8/16/32-bit MCUs, CAN, and CAN PHY controllers. Software support includes the maXTouch Studio development tool and the maXTouch Analyzer inspection tool for production equipment testing.

Additionally, Microchip's Applications and Support Centers provide global customer support for ultrawide designs, including system or sensor simulation and development, integration, and system tuning. Development hardware and technical assistance are also available upon request.
