Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A touch screen controller (TSC) performs mutual capacitance sensing to acquire touch strength values from a touch matrix formed by capacitively intersecting drive and sense lines. For each sense line, the TSC sums the touch strength values associated therewith to form an emulated value for that sense line, and applies a weighting thereto, the weighting based upon a position of that sense line compared to a location on the touch matrix adjacent which a user's ear is expected to be placed. For each drive line, the TSC sums the touch strength values associated therewith to form an emulated value for that drive line, and applies a weighting thereto, the weighting based upon a position of that drive line compared to the location on the touch matrix adjacent which the user's ear is expected to be placed. The TSC determines presence of the user's based upon the emulated values.

Abstract: A system comprising includes a wireless power receiver generating a rectified voltage. A low dropout regulator (LDO) generates a first regulated output voltage from the rectified voltage, during a first phase. A first switch couples the first regulated output voltage to a voltage output node during the first phase. During a second phase, the LDO generates a second regulated output voltage from the rectified voltage. A switching regulator generates a third regulated output voltage during the second phase. A second switch couples the third regulated output voltage to the voltage output node during the second phase. During a third phase, the LDO is disabled, while the switching regulator continues to generate the third regulated output voltage. The first switch opens during the third phase while the second switch remains closed.

Abstract: A capacitive sensing structure includes a first sensing electrode located in a first layer for sensing a first capacitance and producing a first sense signal indicative of the sensed first capacitance. A transmit electrode is located in the first layer and positioned surrounding 90%+ of a perimeter of the first sensing electrode. A second sensing electrode is located in the first layer and positioned surrounding 90%+ of a perimeter of the transmit electrode, the second sensing electrode to sense a second capacitance and produce a second sense signal indicative of the sensed second capacitance. Controller circuitry receives the first and second sense signals, compares a change in the sensed first capacitance to a change in the sensed second capacitance, and produces an output signal indicative of a user touch based upon the comparison between the change in the sensed first capacitance and the change in the sensed second capacitance.

Abstract: A touch screen controller includes driving circuitry coupled to a conductive line through a resistance and drives that conductive line with a driving signal passed through the resistance at a drive frequency. Sensing circuitry is coupled to that conductive line and senses a voltage at that conductive line, the voltage being a function of a capacitance seen by that conductive line. Analog to digital conversion circuitry is coupled to the sensing circuitry and samples the sensed voltage at a sampling frequency to produce samples. Processing circuitry is coupled to the analog to digital conversion circuitry and directly calculates a tangent of a phase shift of the voltage due to the resistance and the capacitance from the samples, and determines a self touch value for that conductive line as a function of the tangent of the phase shift of the voltage.

Abstract: A circuit includes a force driver configured to apply a force signal to a force node associated with a mutual capacitance to be sensed. A sensing circuit receives a sense signal from a sense node associated with said mutual capacitance to be sensed. The sensing circuit operates to generate an output signal indicative of the sensed mutual capacitance. A control circuit controls generation of the force signal to alternate between at least two different frequencies and generate said output signal for each half cycle of the force signal.

Abstract: A touch screen controller includes input circuitry receiving touch data from the touch screen. Processing circuitry acquires touch data from the input circuitry in a self-capacitance sensing mode, locates a force island and locates a sense island. A length of the force island and a length of the sense island is calculated. If the length of the force island is greater than a threshold force length and if the length of the sense island is greater than a threshold sense length, then the product of the lengths is calculated, and if greater than a threshold size, designated a valid area. Touch data in the valid area is then acquired in mutual-capacitance sensing mode, and represents palm touch if a maximum strength value in the valid area is less than a maximum area threshold and if a minimum strength value in the valid area is greater than a minimum area threshold.

Abstract: A glitch detector includes an input flip-flop clocked by a clock signal and having a non-inverting data output, an inverting data output, and a data input receiving input from the inverting data output, the input flip-flop generating a divided version of the clock signal at the non-inverting data output. A configurable delay chain receives the divided version of the clock signal and generates a delayed version of the divided version of the clock signal as a delay output. An intermediate flip-flop clocked by the clock signal has a data input receiving the delay output, the intermediate flip-flop generating an intermediate output as a function of the delay output. A logic circuit receives the divided version of the clock signal and the intermediate output, and generates a glitch detect signal by performing a logical operation on the divided version of the clock signal and the intermediate output.
