maXTouch® Touchscreen Controller Family Expands with Additional Security Features for Touchscreen Payment Systems
25 Avril 2024 - 2:09PM
As we see an increased number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the
road, the necessary charging infrastructure must expand to meet the
increased demand. Adding credit card payment options to EV chargers
is becoming a standard practice in many countries—and is a mandate
in the European Union—and chargers need to meet Payment Card
Industry (PCI) security standards. To help EV charger designers
protect their payment architectures, Microchip Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP) has launched the
MXT2952TD
2.0 family of secure touchscreen controllers.
Typical touch-enabled human machine interface (HMI) and radio
frequency identification (RFID) combination-based payment systems
are vulnerable to hacking attacks via malicious software updates or
man-in-the-middle attacks when a user enters their personal
identification number (PIN) on the touchscreen. Physical mesh
barriers and sensors are often used around these integrated
circuits (ICs) for protection from hacking. Constant reflashing of
software and device resets are used to help safeguard software
integrity. The MXT2952TD 2.0 family is designed to encrypt touch
data and cryptographically authenticate software updates to
minimize risk and meet PCI certification compliance standards. When
the RFID reader IC and the touchscreen controller are on different
printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is especially difficult and
expensive to build physical barriers for hack protection. Embedded
firmware on the MXT2952TD 2.0 provides a more easily implemented
solution for EV charger manufacturers to remain compliant with
security regulations and avoid the cost of adding a second,
expensive touchscreen payment module to the charger.
The outdoor nature of EV charger HMIs demand they withstand
harsh weather conditions, function accurately in the presence of
moisture and are resistant to vandalism. MXT2952TD 2.0 touch
controller-based touchscreens remain effective when designed with
IK10 standard 6 mm-thick glass, anti-reflective, anti-glare and
anti-fingerprint coatings and IR filter/UV filter layers.
Microchip’s proprietary differential touch sensing delivers
exceptional noise immunity for superior touch performance even when
used with thick gloves.
“The maXTouch 2952TD 2.0 family provides EV charger designers
with a cost-effective, secure design architecture for implementing
credit card payments with PIN entry on their touchscreens,” said
Patrick Johnson, senior corporate vice present overseeing
Microchip’s human machine interface division. “Combined with the
rugged, outdoor HMI touchscreen technology that Microchip’s
maXTouch portfolio is known for, the new addition to the 2952TD
family of touchscreen controllers offers our customers secure
designs and the exceptional touch performance necessary for outdoor
applications.”
In addition to EV chargers, the MXT2952TD 2.0 family is
well-suited for most unattended outdoor payment terminals such as
parking meters, bus ticketing meters and other types of
point-of-sale (POS) systems. The 2952TD 2.0 is specifically
optimized for 20” screen sizes and its sister part, the
MXT1664TD, is available for 15.6” screen
sizes.
Development ToolsStandard maXTouch family
development tools are available including maXTouch Studio
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and maXTouch Analyzer, a
production end-of-line test/inspection tool. Microchip also has a
number of factory-trained global touch sensor module
partners to help support custom touch sensor and/or
touchscreen display designs.
