Abstract: A fingerprint sensor is described that includes a thin protective cover layer on a sensor glass layer with receive circuitry between the thin protective cover layer and the sensor glass layer. In an implementation, a fingerprint sensor assembly includes a controller; a metal layer configured to be electrically coupled to the controller; a transmit layer electrically connected to the metal layer and the controller; a sensor glass layer including at least one through-glass via, where the transmit layer is disposed on a first side of the sensor glass layer, and where the transmit layer is electrically coupled to the at least one through-glass via; a receive layer disposed on a second side of the sensor glass layer, where the receive layer is electrically coupled to the at least one through-glass via; and a protective cover layer disposed on the receive layer.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to determine an approximate position of an object utilizing mutual-capacitance sensing capabilities during a first mode of operation and determining one or more attributes of the object utilizing self-capacitance sensing capabilities during a second mode of operation is disclosed. The apparatus includes a touch panel controller configured to operatively couple to a touch panel sensor. The touch panel sensor includes a plurality of drive electrodes and at least one sense electrode. A plurality of nodes are formed at the intersections of the plurality of drive electrodes and the at least one sense electrode. The touch panel controller is configured to determine an approximate position of an object performing a touch event over the touch panel sensor during the first mode of operation and to determine one or more attributes of the object during the second mode of operation.
