Semtech SX9310
Ultra-Low Power Smart Proximity Sensor for SAR

The SX9310 is a capacitive Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) controller. The SX9310 can use two of the three sensor inputs coupled to its smart engine for SAR to accurately discriminate between an inanimate object and human body. The third sensor input can be used independently for standard capacitive sensing.
