Solutions for Payment Terminals

Cirque is the only touch technology company with a focus on the secure input market. We have been developing unique solutions for this market since 2003. 

Our secure capacitive touch technology uses proprietary and patented methods for securely scanning a capacitive sensor such as a touch screen or a capacitive PIN pad. With SecureSense™, attackers cannot capture sensitive information from the input system. This protects user information like PIN numbers and passwords right at the point of entry.

This core technology is constantly evolving to keep up with evolving threats like side channel and overlay attacks. Secure sensing has been tested by independent laboratories to meet the stringent requirements of the payment industry for security (PCI PTS). 

Our platforms provide flexible implementation options for companies building secure devices. Our secure input components can be rapidly designed into customers designs, with options ranging from a SecureSense touch controller IC all the way to full secure terminal reference designs.

Legacy Solutions


While GT4 is generally recommended for new designs, point of sale terminals are in the market for a long time. Thats why Cirque provides on-going support for our prior solution platforms. 

  • K2 - Secure Touch Screen and Keypad Platform

  • Gen2 and Gen3 - Secure Touch Screen Platform

For very large secure touch screens (larger then 10 inches), GT4 is still our recommended solution. For questions or information about these platforms please Contact Cirque.
