    Abstract: A sense amplifier can be designed with a series variable resistance circuit to dynamically adjust an input resistance in series with the sense amplifier for stability during the different operating modes. In some examples, a switchable resistor can be switched into the input path of the sense amplifier for stability when required by increased capacitive loading of the sense electrodes, and can be switched out of the input path of the sense amplifier when unnecessary for stability. In some examples, an adjustable resistor can be coupled to and in series with the input of the sense amplifier. The resistance of the adjustable resistor can be tuned to stabilize the sense amplifier during operating modes having increased capacitive loading from the sense electrodes and can be minimized when additional input resistance is unnecessary for stability.

    Abstract: A self-capacitance touch sensor panel including a plurality of touch electrodes and one or more sense circuits coupled to the touch electrodes. The touch sensor panel also includes at least one offset cancellation circuit coupled to at least one of the touch electrodes and configured to generate an offset cancellation signal to cancel an offset signal at the at least one touch electrode. In some examples, the offset cancellation signal can be an offset cancellation current to cancel an offset current. In some examples, the offset cancellation circuit comprises a variable resistor, and a magnitude of the offset cancellation current is based on a resistance of the variable resistor. In some examples, each touch electrode is coupled to an offset cancellation circuit. In other examples, a single offset cancellation circuit is shared by a plurality of touch electrodes.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for stimulating a touch sensor panel using orthogonal frequencies are provided. In one example process, the drive lines of the touch sensor panel can be stimulated with stimulation signals having orthogonal frequencies. The orthogonal frequencies can be separated by a frequency that is inversely proportional to an integration time of the touch sensor panel. The touch signals generated in response to the stimulation signals can be amplified, converted into digital form, demodulated using the orthogonal frequencies, and integrated over the integration time. Integrating the demodulated signals over a length of time that is inversely proportional to the frequency spacing between the orthogonal frequencies reduces or eliminates interference in the touch signals caused by the stimulation signals having different frequencies.
