Abstract:
A capacitive touch panel includes sense electrodes arranged next to one another and drive electrodes arranged next to one another across the sense electrodes. The drive electrodes and the sense electrodes define a coordinate system where each coordinate location comprises a capacitor formed at a junction between one of the drive electrodes and one of the sense electrodes via mutual capacitance between the electrodes. The drive electrodes are configured to receive a first signal from a driver coupled with the drive electrodes for powering the drive electrodes to sense passive input to the capacitive touch panel at each coordinate location. Passive input can also be sensed via self-capacitance of the capacitive touch panel sensors. The drive electrodes and the sense electrodes are configured to receive a second signal from an active stylus to sense active input to the capacitive touch panel at each coordinate location.
