Abstract:
An integrated analog data receiver for a capacitive touch screen. An analog data receiver circuit for a touch screen device is provided including a sigma delta analog to digital converter configured for direct connection to an analog output of a touch screen device, and further including an integrator circuit having an input coupled for receiving the analog output signal and outputting an integrated output voltage; a comparator coupled to the integrated output voltage and a first bias voltage and outputting a comparison voltage; a clocked sampling latch coupled to the comparison voltage and to a clock signal and outputting quantized data bits corresponding to samples of the comparison voltage; and a digital filter and decimator coupled to the clocked sampling latch and outputting serial data bits which form a digital representation corresponding to the output of the touch screen device. Additional circuits and systems are disclosed.
Abstract:
A circuit and method for providing a current limiting feature in a low dropout (“LDO”) linear voltage regulator. A pass element generates an output voltage that is less than the input voltage. The pass element is normally enabled by an error amplifier that compares a feedback signal from the output of the pass element with a reference signal. However, the pass element may be enabled by a current limiting circuit that bypasses the error amplifier to limit the current generated at the output of the pass element.

Abstract:
A display panel includes multiple pixel elements for composing an image and a control circuit for accessing each pixel element. The control circuit includes a data line for conducting a luminance signal and a selection line for conducting a selection signal. Each pixel element includes a switch, a display cell, and a compensatory capacitor. The switch is connected to the data line and the selection line, such that the switch can selectively deliver the luminance signal to the display cell. The display cell is configured to adjust its light transmittance in response to the received luminance signal. Being connected to the switch and the display cell, the compensatory capacitor is configured to receive a compensation signal corresponding to a transition of the selection signal and for correcting a parasitic effect at the display cell.
