Abstract:
A touch panel sensor system configured to generate simultaneous drive signals having different frequencies to improve noise immunity is described. The touch panel sensor system includes a sensor configured to detect a change in capacitance associated with a touch upon a touch panel. The system also includes a drive component connected to the sensor and is configured to simultaneously generate a plurality of drive signals to simultaneously drive the sensor. Each drive signal has a different frequency characteristic with respect to the other drive signals. The system also includes a measuring component connected to the sensor and is configured to individually demodulate a plurality of signals to determine the change in capacitance. Each signal corresponds to a respective drive signal (e.g., the signal has the same, or approximately the same, frequency characteristic as the respective drive signal).
