    Abstract: The present disclosure describes aspects of a capacitance-to-voltage modulation circuit. In some aspects, the circuit is used in touch sensing. In some aspects, a modulation circuit comprises a first pair of switches having one switch connected between a voltage source and a capacitor, and another switch connected between ground and the input of the circuit. The circuit also includes a second pair of switches having one switch connected between the voltage source and the input of the circuit, and another switch connected between ground and the capacitor. A third pair of the circuit's switches comprise one switch connected between the capacitor and an input of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and another switch connected between the input of the circuit and the input of the ADC. The third pair of switches may enable charge sharing of signals modulated by the first and second pairs of switches, a result of which can be used to sense touch input based on capacitance at the input of the circuit.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of a gradual power wake-up mechanism are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of activating a device based on detection of a fingerprint image may include monitoring a first metric level of a first set of regions of the fingerprint image, determining a second metric level of a second set of regions of the fingerprint image in response to the first metric level exceeding a first threshold, and activating the device based on the second metric level of the second set of regions of the fingerprint image.
