Hello!
This is Jinho Park at ATMEL QUANTUM.
Thank you for taking an interest in our ATMEL QUANTUM products.
Below is an outline of the characteristics of our products.
Instead of the conventional self-capacitance system, the more advanced mutual-capacitance system is used.
Under the conventional self system, there are as many sensors as there are channels. Under the mutual
system, there are as many sensors as there are nodes. The number of nodes is calculated by multiplying the
number of X-axes by that of Y-axes. Thus, the mutual system yields far more nodes (sensors) from the same
number of channels and produces superior performance.
Complete solution
Ours is not a solution being developed tied to a phone development but a complete solution that readily
provides performance merely by connecting it to a phone over the I2C communication link.
Unlike the competitors’ products that require tunings (development in reality) through multiple f/w updates during
an actual development period, our product needs almost no update via f/w change.

Instead of the conventional 3-layer (including the shield layer), we have the 2-layer and 1-layer solutions.
Superior compared to the 3-layer solution in terms of price and yield.

Superior inspection machines filter out in advance the defective units during mass-production. This blocks
defective units from getting mounted on mobile phone sets in the first place, raising yield and preventing defects
in advance.
In case of our competitors, they are only capable of running the types of tests such as the open-short test. As a
result, their inspected ITO and ITO modules have defect rates ranging 2-3%. By comparison, the ITO and ITO
modules inspected by our QCP program report almost no defect.

Compared to the competitors’ products that function smoothly only with a particular ITO manufacturer, ours cowork well with many different ITO vendors. We have numerous actual mass production experiences with many
manufacturers.
We have our own FAB.
Fabless companies cannot handle sudden surges in order volume, which is how the mobile phone
industry operates. In case of ATMEL, owning our FAB enables us to adequately handle sudden
surges in order volume.
Attached file is material on mutual capacitance, which I explained briefly above, for your reference.

Requested Material on Atmel Quantum’s Mutual Capacitance
Hello, Lead Heon Seok Lee!
This is Jinho Park at Atmel Quantum.
As I told you at the meeting, the touch screen implemented in Apple’s iPhone has superior performance for
the following reasons.
Sensor structure

Mutual capacitance
