Cypress Semiconductor Corporation today announced the establishment of a new strategic partnership with IDEX ASA, develop fingerprint recognition solutions. According to the agreement, Cypress will provide customers with industry-leading TrueTouch? Touch screen controller, CapSense? Touch-sensing controllers and trackpad solutions while providing award-winning IDEX-based fingerprint imaging and recognition technology fingerprint identification program. This combination will allow smart phones, tablets, wearable device design process, identity cards and a range of networking applications, user interfaces and personal security systems more convenient and smooth.

Important information for individual users to carry networking devices, security is essential. IDEX has developed a unique fingerprint sensor technology, the controller does not allow the touch sensor is within range, thereby minimizing the size of the chip, the sensor dimensions are more flexible. IDEX's patented IP fingerprint sensor, which enables Cypress to provide optimal performance fingerprint security solution for mobile devices. Cypress will work side by side with IDEX sensors have been recognized partners to provide customers with superior product performance and fast time to market.

Hassane El-Khoury, executive vice president of Cypress's programmable solutions business unit, said: various capacitive touch sensor product line, "Our solution will IDEX powerful fingerprint fingerprint IP and we have been widely adopted together, able to provide customers with a variety of mobile applications and can be adapted to the platform networking products and we will have a series of very strong products to meet the needs of the rapidly growing personal security market.

IDEX's CEO Hemant Mardia said: "We are very pleased to Cypress's technology and market leadership in the field of mobile phone touch combined with IDEX advanced fingerprint sensing technology together to develop next-generation fingerprint sensor product. things wearable devices and fast-growing market will bring new opportunities for our compelling new solutions.
