Since 2004 Azoteq was the first to integrate the reference capacitor on chip in a touch controller, first to incorporate on chip calibration, first to combine a single antenna for proximity and touch sensing, first to incorporate on chip RF detection and first to enable capacitive sensing through a top metal deformation plate. 2016 sees the introduction of ProxFusion® multi sensor technology embedded on single IC's. This new product range takes Azoteq to the forefront of sensor technology once again.
