ProxSense® Series
IQS213/A Datasheet
IQSwitch® - ProxSense® Series
3-Channel Capacitive Touch/Swipe Function Controller
Overview
Unparalleled Features
Sub 5µA* current consumption (“Zero-Power” electronic switch).
Internal Capacitor Implementation (ICI) – Reference capacitor on-chip
Automatic Tuning Implementation (ATI) - Automatic tuning for optimal operation in various
environments & compensation against sensitivity reducing objects
IQS213A advised for applications with high load-capacitances and high sensitivity
requirements.
The IQS213(A) ProxSense® IC is a fully integrated two or three channel capacitive swipe function
sensor with market leading sensitivity and automatic tuning of the sense electrodes. The
IQS213(A) provides a minimalist implementation requiring few external components, with OTP-
option settings and an I2C-compatible interface that allow configuration for numerous applications.
