MGC3140 is the world’s first Automotive qualified electrical-field (E-field) based three-dimensional (3D) tracking and gesture controller. The chip is based on Microchip’s patented GestIC® technology and enables user command input with natural hand and finger movements in free-space. The GestIC Colibri Suite is processed on-chip and enables a wide range of gesture applications shortening time-to-market success.

The MGC3140 represents a unique and high performance single chip gesture solution focusing on Automotive applications. MGC3140 provides gesture and proximity detection enabling modern and compelling user interfaces to be created and is suitable for Consumer, Industrial and Automotive applications.

A Linux driver is available on the Microchip Github server:
