Abstract:
An input device includes a keyboard system where the keyboard system includes a keyboard transmit line electrically connected to an integrated circuit, a keyboard sense line electrically connected to the integrated circuit, and the keyboard transmit line and the keyboard sense line are selectively connectable through a switch incorporated into the keyboard system. The input device also includes a capacitive touch system where the capacitive touch system includes a touch transmit line electrically connected to the integrated circuit, and a touch sense line electrically connected to the integrated circuit. The keyboard system and the capacitive touch system use at least one common component of the integrated circuit during operation, and the keyboard system and the capacitive touch system are executable simultaneously.
