Can the PenMount PCAP controller be provided with control board or COF? What are the advantages of control board and COF?
PenMount PCAP controllers provide control board or COF solutions.
Control Board Advantages:
1. Higher design and integration flexibility due to separate control board.
2. Faster prototyping with lower tooling and production cost.
COF Advantages:
1. High integration of controller IC and sensor which is very important in mobile hand-held devices.
2. Digital interface only requires a small number of circuits, which makes long and slim FPC design possible for easy product installation.
3. Connectors for touch panel and system interface are no longer required.
