San Jose, California – September 15, 2022 – UltraSense Systems announced its family of TouchPointHMI Controllers has achieved AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40 to +105C) qualification. TheAutomotive Electronics Council (AEC) set standards for reliable, high-quality electronic components and components meeting these stringent specifications are suitable for use in the harsh automotive environment without added component-level qualification testing.

There is currently a massive transformation occurring in the Automotive market as interfaces migrate from mechanical buttons to digital smart surfaces for applications including steering wheels, center and overhead consoles, door controls and more. TouchPoint HMI controllers not only sense a touch input by way of dual mode ultrasound or capacitive plus force sensing and advanced algorithms that bring capturing intended touches and rejecting unintended touch to a new high. Add to that, these HMI solutions can also help supply feedback with advanced illumination, audible, and haptics.Achieving AEC-Q100 Grade 2 exceeds most in-cabin specifications.

“Our TouchPoint HMI controllers have been shipping in mass production for almost 18 months to consumer electronics and industrial customers and we are currently sampling to several automotive Tier-1’s,” said Mo Maghsoudnia, Founder and CEO of UltraSenseSystems. “Passing AEC-Q100 Grade 2 demonstrates the quality we have designed into our components and shows our commitment to the automotive market.”

Rigorous testing includes zero acceptable failure rates amongst numerous testing sets in the following categories: Accelerated Environment Stress Tests, AcceleratedLifetime Simulation Tests, Package Assembly Integrity Tests, ElectricalVerification Tests including SAE J1752/3 (Level N10), and Mechanical StressTests, making TouchPoint solutions ideal for the most demanding interior solutions including the steering wheel, center console, door, headliner interfacing touchpoints.
