Azoteq Appoints Iton as Independent Design House

Azoteq, the semiconductor company that pioneered sensor fusion and multi-sensor technologies on single ICs for consumer electronics, announced the signing of Iton as an independent design house (IDH). This partnership reinforces Azoteq's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions while speeding up product development processes and turnkey design, leveraging Iton's expertise in embedded systems, and manufacturing.

Azoteq recently released its second-generation four-in-one chip for earbuds. The IQS7222A IC is a multifunctional capacitive, inductive, and Hall-effect sensor with additional temperature sensing for reference tracking. The 1.62 x 1.62 mm chip allows you to add a touch-and-swipe interface, wear detection, docking detection and your choice of an inductive waterproof button or the inductive force-sensing features.
