    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless power reception system that utilizes a switched capacitor DC-DC voltage converter to charge a load. Current sensing circuits described herein enable the measurement of the input current to the switched capacitor DC-DC voltage converter while being relatively insensitive to temperature variation. Voltage/current sensing circuits described herein enable the selective measurement of load voltage, high side load current, and low side load current. One of the current sensing circuits may be used together with one of the voltage/current sensing circuits in a single device, or the current sensing circuits and voltage/current sensing circuits may be used separately in different devices.

    Abstract: A method for operating an electronic device, including: determining that a touchscreen is in a low frequency display (LFD) mode, determining whether a self-sensing scan was performed in a previous frame of a plurality of frames; after determining, a self-sensing scan was performed in the previous frame, determining a current duration of time corresponding to a current frame based on a previous duration of time corresponding to the previous frame, the previous frame being a frame immediately preceding the current frame; determining, whether the current duration of time is greater than the previous duration of time; and after determining that the current duration is greater than the previous duration, performing a self-sensing scan after the current duration of time, the current duration of time being measured from a beginning of the current frame, the current duration of time having a duration less than a duration of the current frame.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a force driver to apply a force signal to a force node associated with a mutual capacitance to be sensed, and a charge to voltage converter having an input coupled to receive a sense signal from a sense node associated with the mutual capacitance to be sensed. The charge to voltage converter includes an integrator circuit to integrate the sense signal to sense the mutual capacitance, an input switch between the input of the charge to voltage converter and an input of the integrator circuit, and a reset switch between an output of the integrator circuit and the input of the integrator circuit. A control circuit controls generation of the force signal to alternate between at least two different frequencies and generates, for each half cycle of the force signal, a first signal for closing the input switch and a second signal for closing the reset switch.

    Abstract: A system comprising includes a wireless power receiver generating a rectified voltage. A low dropout regulator (LDO) generates a first regulated output voltage from the rectified voltage, during a first phase. A first switch couples the first regulated output voltage to a voltage output node during the first phase. During a second phase, the LDO generates a second regulated output voltage from the rectified voltage. A switching regulator generates a third regulated output voltage during the second phase. A second switch couples the third regulated output voltage to the voltage output node during the second phase. During a third phase, the LDO is disabled, while the switching regulator continues to generate the third regulated output voltage. The first switch opens during the third phase while the second switch remains closed.
