Disclosed herein is a touch screen controller for controlling touch sensing in a touch screen display, the touch screen display having a display layer controlled as a function of horizontal sync and vertical sync signals and a capacitive touch array comprised of drive lines and sense lines. The touch screen controller includes a driver and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to cause the driver to generate a driving signal on the drive lines during assertion of the horizontal sync signal, and cause the driver to generate the driving signal on the drive lines during assertion of the vertical sync signal. Analog touch sensing circuitry is configured to generate analog touch data as a function of signals on the sense lines resulting from generation of the drive signal on the drive lines.
