The  PRoC-UI (Programmable Radio-on-a-Chip–User Interface) is a solution for the new SmartTouch N800 wireless touch mouse. The PRoC-UI solution delivers superior touch performance with support for Windows 8 standard gestures and customized gestures for commonly used features, along with best-in-class wireless connectivity and microcontroller (MCU) functionality. Combining these capabilities in a single device lowers bill-of-material costs and saves board space for the sleek mouse.

PRoC-UI brings TrueTouch capacitive touch technology to the SmartTouch N800 wireless touch mouse, enabling intuitive one-finger and two-finger gestures for simple, yet precise, operation. With its 2.4-GHz WirelessUSB-NL Radio, PRoC-UI delivers robust performance in the presence of interference from other wireless peripherals or microwaves. The one-chip PRoC-UI solution simplifies design of wireless touch products and reduces time to market. It also lowers power consumption to help prolong battery life.

Cypress’s award-winning PRoC-UI device boasts an impressive -87 dBm receive sensitivity at 1 Mbps. This enhanced sensitivity enables longer range operation and allows for lower-power transmit signals. The device features low active and standby currents, which enable longer battery life, and it has an on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to enable battery monitoring. It offers superior performance in the presence of 2.4-GHz interference from common sources such as WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless phones, and microwaves. PRoC-UI supports Cypress’s patent-pending AgileHID protocol that allows existing WirelessUSB-NL customers to get started quickly on their designs without any additional effort. Users who have existing designs with WirelessUSB-NL can reuse the same dongles for new PRoC-UI based touch products. PRoC-UI comes with free software to enable end-product customization.
