    Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing two devices in communication with each other. When communication between the two devices is to be established, a synchronization process may be invoked. In an embodiment, a first device may initiate sending synchronization signals having rising edge and falling edge pairs. The second device may include a controller configured to receive the synchronization signals. However, noise may inhibit the ability of the controller to correctly receive and/or interpret the synchronization signals. Noise may cause detection components to falsely detect noise as a synchronization signal or may cause detection components to miss detection of an actual synchronization signal. A window generator may be used to generate comparison windows for the controller to detect synchronization signals. Further, the detection window duration and start times may be adjusted based on previously detected (or undetected) synchronization signals in order to compensate for noise overshadowing synchronization signals.

    Abstract: A capacitive discharge circuit includes a line having a capacitance, a switched capacitor circuit including a capacitor, a switched circuit coupled to the line, and a voltage regulator coupled between the switched capacitor circuit and the switched circuit. A controller operates the switched capacitor circuit and switched circuit to in a first phase, charge the capacitor by coupling the capacitor between a common mode and a power supply, and in a second phase, discharge the capacitor by coupling the voltage regulator in series with the capacitor between the power supply node a ground. The controller is also configured to in a third phase, charge the capacitor by coupling the capacitor between the common mode and the power supply, and in a fourth phase, share charge between the line and the capacitor by coupling the voltage regulator and the capacitor in series between the line and the ground.

    Abstract: A master-slave circuit is disclosed that maintains synchronization between two integrated circuit chips, using minimal chip resources. In one embodiment, a single, bidirectional communication path is shared by the two chips. Meanwhile, only one I/O port on each chip is used to send and receive signals via the bidirectional communication path. The first chip to detect a signal event is designated the master and controls the bidirectional communication path. The master can communicate the status to the other chip by controlling the logic state of the I/O ports. When the second chip detects that the I/O port is controlled by the first chip, the second chip will logically deduce that it is now the slave. If both chips detect the signal event at substantially the same time, one of the two chips is pre-programmed to assume control of the I/O port as the master.

A second controller may be associated with channels of the digitizer not associated with the first controller. The first controller may scan for the signal at each channel associated with the first controller, and based on acquisition of the signal at a given channel associated with the first controller, calculate a property of the signal. The first controller may send the calculated property and the direction of the given channel to the second controller. The first controller and the second controller may scan for the signal at each channel having the direction of the given channel, at acquisition intervals based upon the calculated property.
