Introduction

Microchip’s MGC3140 is a 3D gesture and motion tracking controller based on Microchip’s patented GestIC® technology – suitable for consumer, industrial and automotive applications. It enables robust user interfaces with natural hand and finger movements, utilizing the principles of electrical near-field sensing.

Implemented as a low-power mixed-signal configurable controller, the MGC3140 provides a compelling set of smart functional features, such as gesture recognition while using adaptive working frequencies for robust performance in noisy environments. Microchip’s on-chip Colibri gesture suite removes the need for host post-processing and reduces system power consumption, resulting in a low-software development efforts for short time-to-market success.

The MGC3140 represents a unique and high-performance single-chip gesture solution focusing on automotive applications. MGC3140 provides proximity, gesture detection and driver recognition, thus enabling modern and compelling user interfaces to be created.
