摘要:
A method and a circuit for increasing a resolution of a digitally controlled oscillator include controlling the oscillator so that an output signal of the oscillator varies between semi-periods having a first frequency and semi-periods having a second frequency. The method and circuit further include applying the output signal of the oscillator as an input to a divider to obtain a divided signal. A frequency of at least one semi-period of the divided signal is a function of both an oscillator semi-period having the first frequency and an oscillator semi-period having the second frequency.

A reference voltage generator circuit may include at least one MOS transistor and at least one bipolar transistor coupled together to provide an electrical path from an input reference potential to an output of the generator circuit. The electrical path may extend through a gate-to-source path of the MOS transistor and further through a base-to-emitter path of the bipolar transistor. The MOS transistor may be biased by a bias current that is proportional to T2·μ(T), where T represents absolute temperature and μ(T) represents mobility of a MOS transistor in the bias current generator. Optionally, the reference voltage generator may include N MOS and M multiple bipolar transistors (N≧1, M≧1), and the output reference voltage may be N*VGS+M*VBE as compared to the input reference potential.

摘要:
A detection circuit is coupled to an output terminal of a driver circuit. The detection circuit includes a comparator to compare a signal at the output terminal to a reference signal corresponding to a signal that would be generated if a capacitive load having a relatively high capacitance value were connected to the output terminal. Output of the comparator is sampled at a predetermined time after the driver circuit provides the drive signal. An error signal is generated when the sampled output indicates that the capacitive load having the relatively high capacitance value is actually connected to the output terminal.

Techniques to control a capacitive touch screen that decrease processing time and increase noise rejection. The techniques may include injecting a plurality of excitation signals having unique spectral profiles onto conductors of the capacitive touch screen, sampling signals returned from the screen, and determining a location of touch. The techniques may further include injecting a plurality of excitation signals having unique spectral profiles onto adjacent or non-adjacent conductors of the capacitive touch screen. The techniques may further include injecting a plurality of excitation signals having unique spectral profiles onto conductors of the capacitive touch screen in unequal measures. The techniques may also include mapping frequency characteristics of noise present on the capacitive touch screen.
