The TouchSense 5000 reference design provides device designers with the technical implementation details necessary to build a world-class high definition haptic device. In addition to outlining the fundamental haptic concepts, the TouchSense 5000 reference design includes explicit schematics for the electronics necessary to drive currently available actuators from each of several vendors. It includes detailed descriptions of the mechanical, software and APIs needed to create a compelling user experience with a production-ready high definition haptic device. This solution greatly benefits designers creating mobile devices, including handsets, tablets and consumer electronics and delivers key advantages, including high fidelity, small size and low solution cost.



“As an industry leader in haptics, we’re pleased to work with a leading semiconductor supplier like TI,” explains Immersion’s Dennis Sheehan, vice president of marketing. “Not only is it creating critical momentum in enabling the ecosystem, but it will also drive faster adoption of touch-enabled products that greatly benefit users; piezo-based haptics will power next-generation user interface devices.”
