Overview

The MGC3030, MGC3130 and MGC3140 are the world’s first electrical near–field (E-field) 3D gesture controllers. Based on Microchip’s patented GestIC^® technology, they enable user gesture detection and motion tracking. Interaction with devices is as simple and intuitive as a wave of the hand. The MGC controller family enables single-chip gesture solutions, with no host processing needed for embedded applications.

GestIC Technology Benefits:

• True single-chip gesture solution for embedded usage
• From 0 (touch) to 20 cm detection range
• Very low–power design
• No detection blind spots
• No ambient influences (light/sound)
• Usage of thin, low-cost sensing electrodes, e.g. standard PCB
• Requires no openings in the housing
• Highest gesture detection reliability
• Active noise handling
• 44-100 kHz carrier frequency no RF interference
