3D Tracking and Gesture Controller 28-Pin SSOP T/R

The MGC3X30 are 3D gesture recognition and motion tracking controller chips based on patented GestIC technology. They enable user command input with natural hand and finger movements. Applying the principles of electrical nearfield sensing, the MGC3X30 contain all the building blocks to develop robust 3D gesture input sensing systems. Implemented as a low-power mixed-signal configurable controller, they provide a large set of smart functional features with integrated signal driver, a frequency adaptive input path for automatic noise suppression and a digital signal processing unit. On-chip Colibri Suite obsoletes processing needs at the host, reduces system power consumption resulting in low software development efforts for short time-to-market success. The MGC3XXX family represents a unique solution that provides gesture information of the human hand in real time. Dedicated chip family members add position data, touch or multi touch information to the free space gesture sensing. The MGC3XXX allow the realization of a new generation of user interfaces across various industry markets.
