Abstract: An amplifier circuit comprising: a first-stage residue-reduction storage unit; a final-stage residue-reduction storage unit; and a switching network. The switching network is operable to control the amplifier circuit according to the following operational configurations: a first residue-reduction configuration; a second residue-reduction configuration; and an operational configuration. Such an amplifier circuit uses a low number of residue-reduction steps to reduce global residual voltage to a very low level when the amplifier circuit is subsequently used in the operational configuration.

Abstract: A touch screen is disclosed having a length and a height, and comprising interspaced and galvanically isolated first and second arrays of touch pads; wherein the first array of touch pads comprises a plurality of first strings of series-connected touch pads, each first string forming a drive line and extending in a first general direction; wherein the second array of touch pads comprises a plurality of second strings of series-connected touch pads, each second string forming a read line and extending in a second general direction, different to said first general direction; wherein the first general direction and the second general direction are each different from the length direction; and wherein the touch screen is configured for capacitive-based sensing which may be based on a change in a mutual capacitance between individual ones of the drive lines and individual ones of the read lines.

Abstract: A receiver path circuit includes a first stage, a down-sampler and a second stage. The first stage is configured to filter a mixer-output-signal received from a mixer and provide a first-stage-output-signal. The down-sampler is configured to down-sample the first-stage-output-signal to provide a transition-signal having a transition-frequency. The transition-frequency is lower than the frequency of the first-stage-output-signal. The second stage includes a switched-capacitor circuit that is configured to filter and reduce the frequency of the transition-signal in order to provide a second-stage-output-signal to an ADC.

Abstract: A touch panel includes a first plurality of electrodes and a second plurality of electrodes. A plurality of transmitters generate a plurality of transmit signals by modulating a common sine wave signal with a set of orthogonal modulation signals, and drive each transmit signal onto a corresponding electrode of the first plurality of electrodes. Each transmit signal is generated by modulating the common sine wave signal with a unique orthogonal modulation signal of the set of orthogonal modulation signals. At least two of the plurality of transmit signals are not orthogonal. Each receiver of a plurality of receivers senses a receive signal on a corresponding electrode of the second plurality of electrodes and generates a set of correlation signals by correlating the receive signal with each transmit signal of the plurality of transmit signals. The sets of correlation signals are used to detect a touch event on the touch panel.

Abstract: A method for display noise canceling in a touch sensing system includes measuring a first feedback voltage of a feedback node resistively coupled to a line voltage of a capacitive touch panel, the line voltage formed by a continuous wave output of an amplifier responsive to a reference voltage difference between the first feedback voltage and a reference voltage. A second feedback voltage is clamped to a first upper voltage threshold in response to a first voltage difference between the first feedback voltage and the reference voltage being greater than the first upper voltage threshold. The second feedback voltage is clamped to a first lower voltage threshold in response to the first voltage difference being less than the first lower voltage threshold.

Abstract: A touch panel system that includes drivers for providing detection signals on a first plurality of electrodes of a touch panel where each detection signal includes one or more frequency signal components with each frequency signal component having a frequency and a phase offset. The detection signals includes at least three phase offsets for at least one frequency of the frequency signal components. Each detection signal has a unique frequency-phase offset combination of the one or more frequency signal components. The unique combinations allow for the determination of a touch at specific locations on the panel by sensing signals on a second set of electrodes.
