Key Features
- GestIC technology detects 3D hand gestures up to 15 cm above the sensor surface without physical contact
- Dual I2C and SPI interface support at 3.3 V enables easy integration with microcontrollers and embedded Linux hosts
- 28-pin QFN package with 5 mm pitch electrodes reference design minimizes PCB area for touchless HMI panels
Applications
MGC3130-I/MQ enables touchless gesture control in smart home appliances, automotive interior panels, and medical equipment where hygiene or sealed enclosures prevent traditional touch input. It processes x, y, z position data and recognizes swipe, tap, and circular gestures natively on-chip, reducing host CPU load to simple I2C polling. The 3.3 V QFN-28 device is easily integrated alongside ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers on 4-layer embedded HMI boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far above the sensor surface can MGC3130-I/MQ detect hand gestures, and what gestures does it recognize natively?
MGC3130-I/MQ detects hand gestures and position up to 15 cm above the electrode array. On-chip processing recognizes swipe gestures in 5 directions, approach and presence detection, and circular motion without requiring host CPU gesture algorithms. The device outputs processed x, y, z coordinates over I2C at 3.3 V with a 28-pin QFN footprint measuring approximately 5 mm × 5 mm.
What communication interfaces does MGC3130-I/MQ support, and how does this simplify integration with a Cortex-M microcontroller?
MGC3130-I/MQ supports both I2C and SPI interfaces operating at 3.3 V, allowing connection to virtually any Cortex-M or ARM9 host without level shifters when the host runs from a 3.3 V rail. The I2C interface requires only 2 wires plus an interrupt line to the host, reducing cabling and PCB routing complexity in touchless control panels compared to analog capacitance sensing solutions requiring 4 to 8 electrode channels.
In which sealed-enclosure applications does MGC3130-I/MQ provide advantages over conventional capacitive touchscreens?
MGC3130-I/MQ enables user input through plastic panels up to several millimeters thick without physical contact, making it ideal for IP67-sealed industrial control panels, medical device housings requiring disinfectant wipe-down, and automotive consoles where gloved-hand operation at distances up to 15 cm is needed. Unlike projected capacitive touchscreens requiring direct finger contact, the 3D gesture recognition works through non-conductive enclosure materials up to 20 mm thick.
