    Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals modulated at a given power frequency to a wireless power receiving device using a wireless power transmitting coil. The wireless power receiving device may transmit data signals to the wireless power transmitting device. The wireless power transmitting device may include a data receiver that is coupled to the wireless power transmitting coil and that receives the transmitted data. The data receiver may include an input stage, bandpass filter circuitry, demodulator circuitry, and a data stream combiner. The bandpass filter circuitry may include at least two bandpass filter circuits for passing through signals at the power frequency and some harmonic of the power frequency. The demodulator circuitry may extract amplitude and phase information from the bandpass filtered signals and to generate multiple demodulated data streams. The data stream combiner may correlate the demodulated data streams and combine the correlated data streams.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for accurately and precisely measuring the resistance of a resistive sensor of a matched resistive sensor pair disposed on opposite surfaces of a substrate. Certain embodiments include coupled each sensor of the matched resistive sensors to a thermally-isolated pair of reference resistors contained within an integrated circuit so as to form a Wheatstone bridge. A controller associated with the integrated circuit can adjust the resistance of the thermally-isolated pair of reference resistors until the ratio of resistances matches to the ratio of resistances between the sensors of the matched pair.

    Abstract: Noise in sensor panel measurements can be reduced using a common pixel correction algorithm. Noise can be introduced into touch or force sensor panel measurements, for example, by circuitry of a transmit (Tx) section or a receive (Rx) section coupled to one or more sensing nodes of a sensor panel. For example, a digital-to-analog converter in the transmit section or an analog-to-digital converter in the receive section can introduce low-frequency correlated noise. Additionally, transmit and receive sections can introduce uncorrelated noise into the system. Reference nodes, coupled between Tx and Rx sections, can sense correlated and uncorrelated noise from the Tx and Rx sections. The noise measured at reference nodes can be subtract from signals measured at other sensing nodes coupled to the same Rx channel. The measurement at the reference node can be scaled using a scaling parameter to account for differences between reference nodes and sensing nodes.

    Abstract: A force sensing device can be included in a display. Noise produced by various sources can be injected into the force signals produced by the force sensing device. Example noise sources include, but are not limited to, the display, Johnson or Thermal noise from the force sensing device, system noise, and magnetically-coupled or background noise produced by ambient light sources. A sampling scheme that includes one or more noise cancelling techniques can be employed to reduce the amount of noise in the force signals.

    Abstract: A system can include a display, a first device, and a second device all operatively connected to a controller. The first and second devices each use or share at least a portion of the display area. The controller is adapted to transmit during a pixel refresh time period of the display a first signal that is received by the first device. The first sync signal indicates a first time period in which a first operation can be performed in the first device. The controller is also adapted to transmit a second sync signal that is received by the second device indicating a second time period in which a second operation can be performed in the second device. The second time period can be during the pixel refresh time period or outside of the pixel refresh time period.
