Overview

The IQS323001DNR is a versatile capacitive and inductive sensing controller designed for high-performance touch and proximity applications. It features a 14 MHz CPU and three input channels capable of self-capacitive, mutual-capacitive, and inductive sensing, allowing for the detection of touch, gestures, and metal. With a wide supply voltage of 1.71V to 3.5V and specialized low-power modes, it is optimized for battery-operated devices requiring robust user interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers exceptional flexibility by supporting multiple sensing technologies (capacitive and inductive) on a single chip. Its sophisticated power management, including a 6.5uA standby current, extends battery life significantly. Integrated noise filtering and automatic tuning ensure reliable operation in electrically noisy environments or varying mechanical tolerances.

Applications

Wearable Touch Interfaces
Utilizes self-capacitive sensing and ultra-low power modes for sleek, energy-efficient button and slider controls in smartwatches or fitness trackers.
Metal Detection and Inductive Sensing
