Semtech Corporation, a supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, demonstrated wearable technologies and trending IoT applications including smart watches and fitness trackers at Wearable USA in Santa Clara, California on Nov 15-16, 2017. LoRa Technology’s long-range-low-power capabilities are ideal for wearable technologies that need secure transmission. Semtech’s ultra-small low power smart capacitive sensor is a perfect solution used by wearable manufactures for touch control and human body detection.
Semtech’s LoRa devices and wireless RF technology are widely adopted long range-low-power solution for IoT that gives telecom companies, IoT application makers and system integrators a feature to deploy low-cost, interoperable IoT networks, gateways, sensors, module products, and IoT services worldwide. IoT networks based on the LoRaWAN™ specification have been deployed in over 65 countries and Semtech is a founding member of the LoRa Alliance.
Semtech’s smart sensing solution features excellent sensitivity for optimal human presence detection. It can not only be used as a touch input, but also a proximity human sensor telling wearable devices whether the device is being worn or not. Even under various environment factors such as temperature and humidity, the smart sensor can still provide the highest sensing resolution and most reliable measurement. Its smart sensing solution consumes ultra-low power, has ultra-small footprint, and is able to sense with small sensing area, so that it can be easily designed into the system with small internal space and limited power supply.
