Abstract: Disclosed herein is a touch screen controller operable with a touch screen. The touch screen controller includes input circuitry to receive touch data from the touch screen, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires mutual capacitance touch strength values from the touch screen, determines when the mutual capacitance touch strength values define a pre-validated donut touch pattern, and reads self capacitance touch strength values for lines that are contained within bounds of the pre-validated donut touch pattern. If the self capacitance touch strength values for lines contained within bounds of the pre-validate donut touch pattern contain a singular peak value, the processing circuitry validates the pre-validated donut touch pattern as representing a single touch.

Abstract: A method of foreign matter rejection for multi-touch capacitive touch screens includes performing touch detection in both self-capacitance mode and mutual capacitance mode. By combining information from both modes, a distinction is identified between wanted touches, such as by a finger or stylus, and unwanted touches such as by foreign matter.

Abstract: A device includes a touch and pressure sensitive screen having touch pressure sensors and a controller. The controller acquires touch pressure data from the plurality of touch pressure sensors. For each touch pressure sensor, the controller determines whether the touch pressure data from that touch pressure sensor is indicative of abnormal operation of that touch pressure sensor. Where no abnormal operation is indicated, the controller sums the touch pressure data from each of the touch pressure sensors to produce a touch pressure output. Where abnormal operation is indicated, the controller sums the touch pressure data from each of the touch pressure sensors and multiply the sum by a correction factor to produce the touch pressure output.

Abstract: An electronic device includes clock generation circuitry. The clock generation circuitry includes a first flip flop receiving as input a device clock and being triggered by an input clock and a second flip flop receiving, as input, output from the first flip flop and being triggered by the input clock. A first inverter receives output from the first flip flop as input and a second inverter receives output from the second flip flop as input. A first AND gate receives, as input, output from the second flip flop and the first inverter, and generates a first clock as output. A second AND gate receives, as input, output from the first flip flop and the second inverter, and generates a second clock as output.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method to remove common mode noise projected onto a touch sensor array from a display. The system is configured to activate two rows of electrodes at the same time, while coupling remaining rows of electrodes to ground. A first one of the two activated rows is used for detection of a touch and a second one of the two activated rows is used to detect common mode noise from the display. The common mode noise detected by the second row is removed from signals received from a plurality of columns of the touch sensor array.

Abstract: A data frame in a touch capacitive sensing circuit includes both mutual capacitance data and self capacitance data. The mutual capacitance data and self capacitance data of the frame are filtered to define mutual capacitance and self capacitance islands. Centroids of the mutual capacitance and self capacitance islands are calculated and then processed in a weighted mixing operation to produce a hybrid centroid that more accurately locates the coordinates of a detected touch/hover.

Abstract: An electronic device disclosed herein includes a touch screen controller to identify an island i.e., a matrix of acquired touch data values, the island including adjacent touch data values indicating a potential touch of a touch sensitive screen. A first sharpness of the island is calculated using a first normalization type and not a second normalization type. A second sharpness of the island is calculated using the first and second normalization types if the first sharpness is greater than the sharpness threshold. A dynamic variance threshold is determined as a function of the second sharpness. A dynamic strength threshold is determined as a function of the second sharpness if a variance of the island is greater than the dynamic variance threshold, and the island is determined to be a valid stylus island if the peak strength is greater than the dynamic strength threshold.

Abstract: A circuit includes a counter circuit, a logic circuit, and a clock divider. The counter circuit includes a clock divider counter to be loaded with most significant bits of a divider value, and decremented at a same edge of each pulse of a clock signal. The logic circuit compares a value contained in the divider counter to a reference value and generates an end count signal as a function of the value contained in the divider counter matching the reference value, and transitions a toggle signal at a same edge of each pulse of the end count signal. The clock divider counter is reloaded with the most significant bits of the divider value as a function of the end count signal. The clock divider generates a divided version of the clock signal as a function of the toggle signal.

Abstract: A touch screen controller includes input circuitry receiving touch data from a touch screen, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry determines first coordinates of a touch at a first time, based upon the received touch data. A first threshold window is set about the first coordinates, with the first threshold window having a central point at the first coordinates, and a second threshold window is set about the first coordinates, with the second threshold window having a central point at the first coordinates and being larger than the first threshold window. Second coordinates of the touch are determined at a second time, based upon the received touch data, and where the second coordinates are not within the first threshold window but are within the second threshold window, the second coordinates are corrected based upon a distance between the second coordinates and the central point of the second threshold window.
