Azoteq Announces the IQS680, a Multi Functional Capacitance, Passive Infrared (PIR) and Inductance Sensor

Azoteq, a pioneer in sensor fusion, today announced the release to market of the IQS680. The IQS680 ProxFusion® IC is a multifunctional capacitance, Passive Infrared (PIR) and inductance sensor designed for applications such as domestic energy-efficient lighting applications with movement detection. The IQS680 is a standalone ultra-low-power solution designed for short- or long-term activations through any of the sensing channels.

The IQS680 combines up to three sensing technologies into a single, integrated ASIC. Two of the three sensing technologies can be used simultaneously. The IQS680 omits the need for the conventional, high BOM count, low-noise amplifier circuit for the PIR sensor. Signal processing is performed on-chip, along with either an inductive or capacitive-sensing channel for an enhanced user interface and control.

The ProxFusion® family builds on Azoteq's decade of capacitive-sensing experience and adds unique sensing capabilities in single-chip solutions.

"The IQS680 is a big step forward in PIR-controlled lighting applications," said Jean Viljoen, Azoteq's VP of Marketing. "All amplifier and sensing circuitry are performed in a single ASIC, while the inductive and capacitive channels allow for additional human or mechanical control of the light source."

Samples, production quantities and evaluation kits are available through Azoteq's distribution channels and popular online distributors.
