Technologue.id – Jakarta, Many automotive touch button designers and the HMI industry want to combine the advantages of mechanical rotary encoder input with a more flexible modern multi-touch display. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq:MCHP) just launched kontroler maXTouch® Knob on DisplayTM (KoDTM).
In contrast to traditional mechanical rotary encoders, this new technology allows for attaching buttons directly to the screen without having to open the panel or adjust any touch patterns helping to increase design flexibility and save system costs.

Not only that, KoD technology can also eliminate the need for special touch sensor patterns which makes it easy for designers to apply different numbers of buttons, shapes and positions to accommodate different finished products.
Configuration can be adjusted without changing firmware embedded from the maXTouch KoD touch controller leading to a faster and more flexible development cycle.
Furthermore, the maXTouch KoD controller allows designers to maintain the convenience of a rotary encoder input device, but still combine it with modern and innovative interior designs using a sophisticated multi-touch display surface.
Furthermore, an added benefit for designers is the ease of building modules Human Machine Interface (HMI) is becoming increasingly popular for household appliances and industrial applications.

The use of on-screen buttons will also increase security for the end user.
“Modern HMIs generally use multi-touch screens and replace keys mechanical for the latest and greatest designs. However, functions such as temperature or audio volume are well controlled via the rotary encoder,” said Clayton Pilon, vice president of the HMI unit at Microchip Technology.
