    Abstract: A touch controller processes a captured data frame and detects the presence of touch points in the data frame. The data frame includes a plurality of digital capacitance values organized as groups of sense line data and the touch controller determines for each digital capacitance value in a group of sense line data the difference between the digital capacitance value and an associated no-touch threshold to generate a baseline delta value for each digital capacitance value in the group. The touch controller selects the minimum baseline delta and adjusts each digital capacitance value in the group by the minimum baseline delta to generate adjusted sense line data. The touch control generates adjusted sense line data for each group of sense line data in the data frame and thereafter processes the groups of adjusted sense line data to detect the presence of touch points in the data frame.

    Abstract: The methods and systems of this invention allow for independent adaptive control of ringing and overshoot effects in 2-dimensional array interpolation processes, including in image and video rescaling and analysis. The methods and systems can use either a column-wise or a row-wise interpolation, or a combination thereof. Each uses a respective preliminary interpolation of data, followed by ringing and/or overshoot control. Controllable parameters allow variability in the amount of ringing and/or overshoot retained in the interpolated data. The ringing and overshoot controls apply a local analysis of the data to adjust the preliminary interpolation results. The methods may be repeated iteratively, for example, to obtain a desired rescaling of an image data array.

    Abstract: An interconnect structure for use in an integrated circuit is provided. The interconnect structure includes a first low-K dielectric material. The first low-K material may be modified with a first group of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and disposed on a metal line. The first low-K material is modified by dispersing the first group of CNTs in a solution, spinning the solution onto a silicon wafer and curing the solution to form the first low-K material modified with the first CNTs. The metal line includes a top layer and a bottom layer connected by a metal via. The interconnect structure also includes a second low-K dielectric material modified with a second group of CNTs and disposed on the bottom layer. Accordingly, embodiments the present disclosure could help to increase the mechanical strength of the low-K material or the entire interconnect structure.

    Abstract: Complete testing of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can be carried out using digital signals and at high speeds. Circuit elements are added to an ADC so that a first phase of testing may be carried out using a limited number of analog test voltages. The ADC may then be reconfigured using added circuit elements to disable conventional analog-to-digital conversion. A digital signal may then be applied to the ADC to rapidly test all switching elements used in analog-to-digital conversion. According to some implementations, testing times for ADCs may be reduced from hours to milliseconds.

    Abstract: Disclosed is keypad circuitry operable to detect a pressed key while reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). The keypad circuitry is operable to reduce EMI in two ways: a) reducing the voltage swing occurring at the row circuitry and column circuitry of the keypad, and b) reducing the number of signal transitions by restricting the signal transitions to occurring at the column and row corresponding to a pressed key. By limiting signal transitions to occurring only at the row and column corresponding to a pressed key, fewer signal transitions occur, and thus, less EMI is produced. Additionally, reduced voltage swings at the row circuitry and column circuitry results in reduced EMI.
