How Dynapic® Technology Solves
Your Membrane Switch Problems
| Problem |
Traditional Membrane Switch Technology |
The DynapicŪ Solution |
| Switch failure due to piercing, denting, or scratching
the graphic overlay. |
Graphic overlay thickness is limited to .010"
polyester o1r polycarbonate, which is easily pierced. |
Graphic overlay can be anodized aluminum, stainless
steel, thick polycarbonate or acrylic. Thicknesses up
to .125 in.! |
| Switch failure due to tactile feedback problems. |
Many switches are designed with tactile feedback, which
accelerates switch failure. |
Eliminates tactile feedback to maximize switch life. |
| Switch failure due to constant material stress and
movement. |
Can only work by moving materials through a spacer
cavity, causing material stress. |
No moving parts. |
| Silver migration, trace oxidation & air pressure
equalization problems caused by air vents. |
Air vents are required for proper switch function.
Creates opportunity for contamination, oxidation, silver
migration, & switch collapse (from pressure equalization). |
Eliminates air vents. |
| Input speed for high volume data applications. |
Slow input speed. |
Fast input speed. Actuation pressure is controlled
by electronics. |
Dynapic® Electrical Operating
Considerations
Dynapic® keyboards are "active"
keyboards that emit an analog pulse as a signal. They require
an electronic interface to convert the signal pulses. This
can be accomplished in several ways:
- Technigraphics can supply the complete
interface either by using a special ASIC or by designing
a custom interface circuit.
- The customer can design their own interface
circuit into the controller electronics of their product.
- Technigraphics can
supply the customer with a special ASIC and/or provide assistance
to help the customer design their own interface circuitry.
