Abstract: A method for operating an electronic device includes detecting, by a touchscreen controller, a touch point on a touchscreen; determining, by the touchscreen controller, coordinates of the touch point; scaling, by the touchscreen controller, up the coordinates of the touch point to obtain scaled up coordinates by overwriting a reserved portion of a touch event protocol with additional information corresponding to the coordinates of the touch point; reporting, by the touchscreen controller, the scaled up coordinates of the touch point to an application processor; and determining, by the application processor, the coordinates of the touch point with an increased resolution by converting the scaled up coordinates into a floating point value.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an amplifier circuit includes a second stage that includes a first switch circuit including first and second terminals, a plurality of resistive elements coupled between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit, and a plurality of switches configured to control an equivalent resistance between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit. During play mode, the second stage has a gain between the input of the second stage and the output of the second stage of a first value. During a transition from mute mode to play mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively increase the gain of the second stage from a second value to the first value. During a transition from play mode to mute mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively decrease the gain of the second stage from the first value to the second value.

Abstract: A system and method for determining handedness in a device. The system including a first electrode, a second electrode, a sensor, and a processing circuit coupled to each other. The first electrode is placed at a first location, and the second electrode is placed at a second location on the device—the first location is different from the second location. The electrodes are configured to sense a variation in an electrostatic field in response to a user interacting with the device. The sensor detects a differential potential between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the processing circuit determines whether the user is interacting with the device using a left hand or a right hand. The determining is based on data received from the sensor corresponding to the differential potential.

Abstract: A method for modulating a signal including operating a circuit in a first arrangement during a first operating interval and switching the circuit between the first arrangement and a second arrangement during a first modulation interval to vary a load on the circuit to produce a first amplitude shift keying (ASK) signal. The method further includes detecting a voltage on the circuit crossing a threshold level and operating the circuit in the second arrangement during a second operating interval. The method also includes switching the circuit between the second arrangement and the first arrangement during a second modulation interval to vary the load on the circuit to produce a second ASK signal.

Abstract: A combinational circuit block has input pins configured to receive input digital signals and output pins configured to provide output digital signals as a function of the input digital signals received. A test input pin receives a test input signal. A test output pin provides a test output signal as a function of the test input signal received. A set of scan registers are selectively coupled to either the combinational circuit block or to one another so as to form a scan chain of scan registers serially coupled between the test input pin and the test output pin. The scan registers in the set of scan registers are clocked by a clock signal. At least one input register is coupled between the test input pin and a first scan register of the scan chain. The at least one input register is clocked by an inverted replica of the clock signal.
