The touch controller is specifically designed to support prominent features of Windows 8, including first-touch latency, finger separation, support for up to 10 simultaneous touches, and edge gestures.

The touch controller also boasts higher noise immunity due to the adoption of shieldless sensors, as well as more data processing due to higher node count.

Atmel's patented noise immunity technology ensures robust performance with various chargers in noisy environments.

Atmel also offers a technology that allows the use of thinner and lighter touch sensors that do not require an extra indium tin oxide (ITO) shielding layer.

It helps reduce thickness and cost to help system designers create thinner, lighter and larger Ultrabooks and notebooks.

These two technologies also result in the industry's highest signal-to-noise ratio, enabling mXT3432S controller-based Ultrabooks and notebooks to deliver high-performance touch capabilities.

The mXT3432S supports multi OSes, satisfying the requirements of Windows 8, and also supports Linux and Android.
