MGC3030/3130 3D Tracking and Gesture Controller Data Sheet
Introduction
Microchip’s MGC3X30 are 3D gesture recognition and
motion tracking controller chips based on Microchip’s
patented GestIC^® technology. They enable user-
command input with natural hand and finger
movements. Applying the principles of electrical near-
field sensing, the MGC3X30 contain all the building
blocks to develop robust 3D gesture input sensing
systems. Implemented as a low-power mixed-signal
configurable controller, they provide a large set of
smart functional features with integrated signal driver,
a frequency adaptive input path for automatic noise
suppression and a digital signal processing unit.
Microchip’s on-chip Colibri Suite obsoletes processing
needs at the host, reduces system power consumption
resulting in low software development efforts for short
time-to-market success. The MGC3XXX family
represents a unique solution that provides gesture
information of the human hand in real time. Dedicated
chip family members add position data, touch or multi
touch information to the free space gesture sensing.
The MGC3XXX allow the realization of a new
generation of user interfaces across various industry
markets.
