Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a touch screen controller including a driver circuit applying a drive signal to a drive line of a capacitive touch sensing panel. The driver circuit is powered by an accurate supply voltage. A driver supply circuit receives an input supply voltage and outputs the accurate supply voltage. The driver supply circuit includes a clocked comparator comparing a divided version of the accurate supply voltage to a reference voltage and outputting a comparison signal based thereupon. A voltage control circuit (e.g. a charge pump circuit) generates the accurate supply voltage in response to the comparison signal. The clocked comparator and voltage control circuit are both clocked by a driver supply circuit clock.
