Abstract: An active stylus is capacitively coupled to a capacitive touch panel for communication. The active stylus operates in a wait mode to receive initial communications from the panel. In response to such receipt, the active stylus synchronizes to a repeating communications frame implementing time division multiplexing. Communications from the active stylus to the panel include: information communications; synchronization communications and communications specific for columns and/or rows of the panel. Communications from the panel to the active stylus may be addressed uniquely to the stylus or commonly to a group of styluses.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method including receiving a stream of packets into a buffer, each packet having a processed video data portion and a page count portion, the processed video data portion being a result of a modulo operation performed on a word of video data, and the page count portion being a data page number on which the word of video data is to be placed. Each packet is read from the buffer, and an output packet including the video data portion and a data tag portion is generated therefrom. The data tag portion is associated with, but does not directly represent, the data page number where the word of video data of the processed video data portion or of video data of a processed video data portion of a next packet, is to be placed. Each data tag portion contains fewer bits than each corresponding page count portion.

Abstract: A method of differential self-capacitance measurement is used to enhance a signal-to-noise ratio of sense lines in a touch panel display, thereby improving touch sensor accuracy. The differential self-capacitance measurement is implemented for a touch panel using charge sharing between adjacent sense lines of the touch panel matrix. Sequential differential self-capacitance measurements can be compared with one another by computing the difference |CS1−CS2|−|CS2−CS1| to sense a change caused by an intervening event. By scanning the entire touch panel matrix, events can be tracked across the touch panel.

Abstract: A circuit includes a counter circuit, a logic circuit, and a clock divider. The counter circuit includes a clock divider counter to be loaded with most significant bits of a divider value, and decremented at a same edge of each pulse of a clock signal. The logic circuit compares a value contained in the divider counter to a reference value and generates an end count signal as a function of the value contained in the divider counter matching the reference value, and transitions a toggle signal at a same edge of each pulse of the end count signal. The clock divider counter is reloaded with the most significant bits of the divider value as a function of the end count signal. The clock divider generates a divided version of the clock signal as a function of the toggle signal.

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.

Abstract: A method of pairing an intelligent input device with an electronic device includes transmitting a start pairing identifier and receiving a unique identifier that identifies the intelligent input device. The method further includes authenticating the unique identifier using authentication information stored in the electronic device and transmitting a pairing successful identifier responsive to the unique identifier being authenticated to thereby pair the intelligent input device and the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a first controller associated with some channels of a digitizer having channels configured to receive a signal from a stylus, and with each channel having a direction. 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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a touch sensor and method for detecting a touch in a capacitive touchscreen application, wherein the touch sensor is capable of distinguishing between a finger hovering above the touch sensor and a touch from a stylus having a small contact surface area without having to adjust the sensitivity of the touch sensor. The touch sensor includes a first sensing electrode, a transmit electrode, and a second sensing electrode, wherein the second sensing electrode is positioned substantially around the perimeter of the inner circuitry (i.e., transmit electrode and first sensing electrode). A touch is detected by sensing changes in a first capacitance between the transmit electrode and first sensing electrode and a second capacitance between the transmit electrode and second sensing electrode. The changes in the first and second capacitances are compared to determine whether the changes in the capacitances are due to a finger hover or a touch.
