摘要： An input device comprises a processing system coupled with a plurality of receiver paths. The processing system comprises a first capacitor and a bypass switch. The first capacitor is configured to be selectively coupled with the plurality of receiver paths. The bypass switch is configured for bypassing the first capacitor. The processing system is configured to selectively couple a first receiver path of the plurality of receiver paths with the first capacitor; acquire a measurement of a first resulting signal from at least one of the first receiver path or a second receiver path of the plurality of receiver paths while the first receiver path is coupled with the first capacitor and while the bypass switch is not bypassing the first capacitor; and determine whether the first receiver path is ohmically coupled with the second receiver path based on the measurement of the first resulting signal.

摘要： The embodiments described herein provide devices and methods that facilitate improved performance. In one embodiment, an input device comprises a processing system, a transmitter sensor electrode, and a receiver sensor electrode, where the transmitter sensor electrode and the receiver sensor electrode are capacitively coupled. The processing system is configured to receive a resulting signal from the receiver sensor electrode, where the resulting signal includes responses that correspond to the transmitter signal. The processing system is further configured to separately accumulate, for each cycle of the transmitter waveform, a first portion and a second portion of the resulting signal to respectively produce a first accumulation and a second accumulation, wherein the first accumulation is used for determining user input to the input device and the second accumulation is used for determining interference, and wherein the first portion and the second portion are non-coterminous.
