TouchNetix, a manufacturer of system and component technology for touchscreens, has released a force-sensing chip — the AX54A-Force, the latest addition to the aXiom family of HMI chips, according to a press release. The small-sized chip complements smart touch surfaces, touch button clusters and other solutions where touch functionality is integrated.

TouchNetix's integrated force-sensing technology enables accurate and reliable measurements of force on the touchscreen or surface from 0.1 Newton (10 g) to 20 Newton (2000 g).

The aXiom technology also offers multi-force position sensing down to a spatial separation of 1.5 cm. The sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of the aXiom chips enables detection of the smallest force signals.

TouchNetix also offers dial-on-display features that are integrated within the aXiom touch solutions.
