An apparatus having a processing device for calibrating a touch-sensor device with calibration capacitors is described. Methods of calibrating the touch-sensor device using the same are also described. Processing device and multiple calibration capacitors are disposed on an integrated circuit (IC) die substrate. The processing device includes a measurement circuit to be coupled to a touch-sensor device and a switching circuit to selectively couple the calibration capacitors to the measurement circuit. The processing device is configured to calibrate the touch-sensor device by applying one or more capacitance touch values from one or more of the calibration capacitors using the switching circuit. The one or more capacitance touch values simulate a touch on the touch-sensor device.

A parallel pipelining method of operation of a touch sense controller for processing data into a touch map is disclosed. A current full scan of response signals to at least one excitation of a touch sense array is received using a first thread of a processing device. The current full scan of response signals is processed using a second thread of the processing device to render a touch map corresponding to the touch sense array. A next full scan of response signals is received using the first thread. Receiving the next full scan and processing the current full scan are performed substantially simultaneously.

A method and apparatus for scanning a first set of electrodes of a capacitive sense array using a first sensing mode to identify a presence of an object in proximity to the capacitive sense array, where scanning using the first sensing mode identifies objects not in physical contact with the capacitive sense array. The first set of electrodes is scanned using a second sensing mode to determine a location of the object in relation to the capacitive sense array, where rescanning using the second sensing mode determines locations of objects in physical contact with the capacitive sense array.

A capacitive sensor may include a transmit electrode and a receive electrode capacitively coupled with the transmit electrode. A capacitance sensing circuit senses a capacitance between the transmit and receive electrodes by applying a signal to the transmit electrode and rectifying a signal induced at the receive electrode. A compensation circuit reduces the effect of a mutual and parasitic capacitances of the transmit and receive electrode pair by adding a compensation signal to the rectified signal.
摘要:
A processing device scans, during a first operation, a first plurality of electrodes along a first axis in a capacitive sense array to generate a first plurality of signals corresponding to a mutual capacitance at electrode intersections of the capacitive sense array. During a second operation, the processing device scans a second plurality of electrodes along a second axis in the capacitive sense array to generate a second plurality of signals corresponding to the mutual capacitance at the electrode intersections of the capacitive sense array, wherein the second operation occurs during a different period of time than the first operation. The processing device determines a first coordinate of a conductive object proximate to the capacitive sense array based on the first plurality of signals and a second coordinate of the conductive object based on the second plurality of signals.
