    Abstract: This disclosure describes controlling a variable delay system with a control signal generated in a phase-locked loop (PLL). Furthermore, aspects describe generating a compensation current based on a number of edges of pulses propagating through a variable delay line including multiple delay elements. The number of edges propagating through the variable delay is determined by computing a difference between a number of edges entering the variable delay line and a number of edges exiting the variable delay line. The compensation current is derived from a mirrored version of the current of the control signal of the PLL. Thus, the techniques and systems in this disclosure provide accurate and repeatable control of a variable delay line over variations in temperature and process using low-power circuits. Furthermore, the input signal to the variable delay line may be asynchronous with respect to a system clock or a reference signal of the PLL.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for capacitive touch sensing. In one aspect, a chip seal ring having an integrated capacitive sense plate is provided. In some implementations, a capacitance of the integrated sense plate to a finger may be used to detect the presence of the finger. In some implementations, a fringe capacitance of the seal ring sense plate to the finger is used to detect the presence of the finger. The chip may be sensor chip, for example, a fingerprint sensor chip, and may be implemented in an electronic device.

    Abstract: A level shifter includes a latch circuit having a first FET and a second FET; an input circuit having a third FET and a fourth FET, the gates of the first and second FETs being coupled to the drains of the fourth and third FETs, respectively; a first resistive device (resistor, diode-connected FET) coupled between and in series with the first and third FETs between a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail; and a second resistive device (resistor, diode-connected FET) coupled between and in series with the second and fourth FETs between the first and second voltage rails. The gates of the third and fourth FETs are configured to receive a first set of complementary voltages, and a second set of complementary voltages are configured to be generated at the gates of the first and second FETs, respectively. The second set of complementary voltages are based on the first set of complementary voltages.
