    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing touch screen displays during manufacture. A touch screen controller (TSC) is packaged, and the analog channels of the TSC are characterized, with resulting data being stored for later use. The TSC is programmed, and the touch screen display and TSC are packaged together. The touch screen display is tested using firmware in the TSC, enabling calculation of the inherent capacitances between force and sense lines of the touch screen display when connected to the TSC during operation. The testing involves, for each force and sense line pair, measuring an output signal generated by a receive channel of the TSC coupled to the sense line of that pair. Based upon the data gathered during characterization, and the signals measured during testing, the capacity of the touch screen display is then calculated.

    Abstract: An analog ping signal that is present at a secondary coil of a power receiving device operating within a wireless power transmission system is detected. The detection circuit includes a DC blocking circuit having an input directly connected to a terminal of the secondary coil. A comparator circuit has an input coupled to an output of the DC blocking circuit. A timer circuit is reset by a signal output by the comparator circuit to assert a ping detect signal in response to a resetting of the timer circuit. The ping detect signal is deasserted in response to a timing out of the timer circuit.
