Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to electronic devices, and more specifically, to a waveform generation circuit for input devices. One or more embodiments provide a new waveform generator for an integrated touch and display driver (TDDI) and methods for generating a waveform for capacitive sensing with a finely tunable sensing frequency. A waveform generator includes accumulator circuitry, truncation circuitry, and saturation circuitry. The accumulator circuitry is configured to accumulate the phase increment value based on a clock signal, and output the accumulated phase increment value. The truncation circuitry configured to drop one or more bits of the accumulated phase increment value to output a truncated value. The saturation circuitry is configured to compare the truncated value to a saturation limit and output a signal corresponding to accessed data samples.
