2.7 – 5.5V Input Supply Voltage
The SX9300 is the world’s first dual channel capacitive
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) controller that accurately
discriminates between an inanimate object and human
body proximity. The resulting detection is used in portable
electronic devices to reduce and control radio-frequency
(RF) emission power in the presence of a human body,

for
manufacturers of electronic devices with EMF radiation
sources to meet stringent emission regulations' criteria and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) standards. Operating
directly from an input supply voltage of 2.7 to 5.5V, the
SX9300 outputs its data via a 1.65 – 5.5V host compatible
I2C serial bus.

The I2C serial communication bus port is compatible with
1.8V host control to report body detection/proximity and to
facilitate parameter settings adjustment. Upon proximity
detection, the NIRQ output asserts, enabling the user to
either determine the relative proximity distance, or simply
obtain an indication of detection. The serial bus can also
serve to overwrite detection thresholds and operational
settings in the event the user wants to change them from
their factory presets.
