IQS624EV04 Overview
Hall effect angle sensor with dual channel capacitive proximity/touch controller
The IQS624 ProxFusion® IC is a multifunctional capacitive, inductance and Hall Effect
sensor designed for applications where any or all of the technologies may be required. The
two Hall-effect sensors calculate the angle of a magnet rotating parallel with the IC. The
IQS624 is an ultra-low power hall-effect rotation sensor. The sensor is fully I2C compatible
and on-chip calculations enable the IC to stream the current angle of the magnet without
extra calculations.
