Azoteq IQS211x ProxSense® ICs

Azoteq IQS211x ProxSense® ICs are single-channel capacitive proximity/touch controllers with movement detection. These self-capacitance controllers are designed for applications where an awake/activate on proximity/touch function is required. The IQS211x ICs use movement detection for applications that require long-term detection. These devices operate standalone or by I2C control and can be configured via OTP (One Time Programmable) bits.

The IQS211B offers alternate hardware with identical firmware to the IQS211A, with an improved temperature response and wider -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Features

  • Charge-transfer capacitance measurement technology (Analog ProxSense® Engine)
  • Finite state machine to automate detection and environmental compensation without MCU interaction (integrated microprocessor)
  • Self-capacitance measurements
  • Signal conditioning to provide signal gain (Analog – Capacitive offset calibration)
  • Signal conditioning to provide offset compensation for parasitic capacitance (Analog – Capacitive offset calibration)
  • Integrated calibration capacitors (Analog – Capacitive offset calibration)
  • Integrated timer for timer triggered conversions
  • Integrated LDO regulator for increased immunity to power supply noise
  • Integrated oscillator
  • Processing logic to perform measurement filtering, environmental compensation, threshold detection, and movement detection
