    Abstract: A touch screen controller includes an input stage configured to receive and condition a touch output from a touch matrix to produce a touch signal. An accumulation stage is configured to receive the touch signal and accumulate the touch signal to produce an accumulated output. The accumulated output is digitized by an analog to digital converter to produce a touch strength value. A given amount of charge is subtracted from or added to accumulated output during a next accumulation if the touch strength value is greater than an upper threshold or less than a lower threshold. This avoids saturation of components in the touch screen controller and therefore increases the signal to noise ratio.

    Abstract: A low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator circuit includes a power transistor having a control terminal configured to receive a control signal and an output terminal coupled to an output node. A current regulation loop senses current flowing through the power transistor and modulates the control signal to cause the power transistor to output a constant current to the output node. A voltage regulation loop senses voltage at the output node and modulates the control signal to cause the power transistor to deliver current to the output node so that an output voltage at the output node is regulated. The current regulation loop includes a bipolar transistor connected to the control terminal of the power transistor, where a base terminal of the bipolar transistor is driven by a signal dependent on a difference between the sensed current flowing through the power transistor and a reference.

    Abstract: An oscillator circuit includes a first current generator circuit that generates a current complementary to absolute temperature and a second current generator that generates a current proportional to absolute temperature. A temperature slope control circuit adjusts slopes of the current complementary to absolute temperature and the current proportional to absolute temperature in a complementary fashion and adds the current complementary to absolute temperature to the current proportional to absolute temperature after slope control to produce a temperature independent current. A current control circuit adjusts magnitude of the temperature independent current to produce a magnitude adjusted temperature independent current. A current controlled oscillator generates an output signal as a function of the magnitude adjusted temperature independent current.
