    摘要: A method of differential self-capacitance measurement is used to enhance a signal-to-noise ratio of sense lines in a touch panel display, thereby improving touch sensor accuracy. The differential self-capacitance measurement is implemented for a touch panel using charge sharing between adjacent sense lines of the touch panel matrix. Sequential differential self-capacitance measurements can be compared with one another by computing the difference |CS1−CS2|−|CS2−CS1| to sense a change caused by an intervening event. By scanning the entire touch panel matrix, events can be tracked across the touch panel.

    摘要: An oscillator circuit includes a first current generator circuit that generates a current complementary to absolute temperature and a second current generator that generates a current proportional to absolute temperature. A temperature slope control circuit adjusts slopes of the current complementary to absolute temperature and the current proportional to absolute temperature in a complementary fashion and adds the current complementary to absolute temperature to the current proportional to absolute temperature after slope control to produce a temperature independent current. A current control circuit adjusts magnitude of the temperature independent current to produce a magnitude adjusted temperature independent current. A current controlled oscillator generates an output signal as a function of the magnitude adjusted temperature independent current.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a circuit including a driver circuit applying a received drive signal to a capacitive sensing line of a capacitive touch panel as a boosted drive signal, the driver circuit powered by a boosted supply voltage. A charge pump circuit receives an input supply voltage and output the boosted supply voltage, the charge pump circuit including a voltage sensing circuit to sense the boosted supply voltage and a comparison circuit to compare the sensed boosted supply voltage to a threshold and produce a comparison signal. A control circuit determines a ratio of a pulse width of the comparison signal to the drive signal, and tunes operation of the charge pump circuit to drive the ratio to match a performance threshold.

    摘要: A feedback stage for an integrator circuit is provided. The integrator receives a first input current and a second input current that include respective measurement current components and an offset current component. The integrator integrates the first input current and the second input current and generates a first output voltage and a second output voltage. The feedback stage including a transconductance amplifier detects a difference between the first output voltage and the second output voltage and sinks or sources a first output current and a second output current based on the difference between the first output voltage and the second output voltage. The first output current is additively combined with the first input current and the second output current is additively combined with the second input current to mitigate the offset current component at an input of the integrator.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a plurality of charge-to-current converters each including a first NMOS transistor having a source coupled to a sense line, a first capacitor between a gate and source of the first NMOS transistor so that a transient component of noise from the sense line is applied to both, a first PMOS transistor having a source coupled to the sense line, a second capacitor between a gate and source of the first PMOS transistor so the transient component of the noise is applied to both, a first current mirror having an input coupled to a drain of the first NMOS transistor and an output coupled to an output for that charge to current converter, and a second current mirror having an input coupled to a drain of the first PMOS transistor and an output coupled to the output for that charge to current converter.
