Azoteq IQS7222C ProxFusion® Controller ICs

Azoteq IQS7222C ProxFusion® Controller ICs are sensor function appliance chips featuring multi-button application modes combined with capacitive slider and wheel capabilities. The sensors offer built-in basic functions such as automatic tuning, noise filtering, differential measurements, debounce/hysteresis, and dual direction trigger indication. The IQS7222C ICs are available in a 0.62mm2 x 0.5mm WLCSP-18 package style or a 3mm2 x 0.5mm QFN20 package. The IQS7222C ProxFusion Controller ICs are fully I2C compatible and on-chip calculations enable the IC to respond effectively even in the lowest power modes.
