Silicon Laboratories Inc. introduced a universal serial bus (USB) touch screen bridge IC that streamlines the connection between touch controllers and host CPUs in computing systems with large displays. Silicon Labs’ new CP2501 USB touch screen bridge provides a programmable, easy-to-use USB interface for laptops, tablets, eBooks, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), kiosks, ATMs and other point-of-sale (POS) equipment with touch screen displays. The CP2501 device is the only semiconductor product of its kind with pre-programmed touch screen USB interface software providing out-of-the-box USB support for large touch screens. Today’s touch screen systems in computing applications frequently use a USB interface to communicate between the touch screen controller and host CPU.
