    Abstract: A method of compensated touch data values disclosed herein includes acquiring touch data values about a dead sensing zone of a touch screen, and determining a peak value of those touch data values. Then, a new peak value is calculated as a function of an average of the peak value and another value of the touch data value, and a sharpness value for the dead sensing zone is generated if a second highest value of the touch data values is less than the new peak value. Thereafter, compensated touch data values are generated for the dead sensing zone if the second highest value is greater than the new peak value.

    Abstract: A capacitive discharge circuit includes a line having a capacitance, a switched capacitor circuit including a capacitor, a switched circuit coupled to the line, and a voltage regulator coupled between the switched capacitor circuit and the switched circuit. A controller operates the switched capacitor circuit and switched circuit to in a first phase, charge the capacitor by coupling the capacitor between a common mode and a power supply, and in a second phase, discharge the capacitor by coupling the voltage regulator in series with the capacitor between the power supply node a ground. The controller is also configured to in a third phase, charge the capacitor by coupling the capacitor between the common mode and the power supply, and in a fourth phase, share charge between the line and the capacitor by coupling the voltage regulator and the capacitor in series between the line and the ground.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor that acquires touch data values corresponding to different locations of a touch display, and identifies an island in the touch data that has touch data values acquired from adjacent locations of the touch display that indicate a potential touch. A first area of the island is determined from touch data values that exceed a first threshold value, and a second area of the island is determined from touch data values that exceed a second threshold value. If the first area is less than a multiple of the second area, coordinates of a location of the island are determined from the touch data values indicating the potential touch. If the first area is at least the multiple of the second area, coordinates of a location of the island are determined from the touch data values indicating the potential touch that exceed a third threshold value.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method including receiving a stream of packets into a buffer, each packet having a processed video data portion and a page count portion, the processed video data portion being a result of a modulo operation performed on a word of video data, and the page count portion being a data page number on which the word of video data is to be placed. Each packet is read from the buffer, and an output packet including the video data portion and a data tag portion is generated therefrom. The data tag portion is associated with, but does not directly represent, the data page number where the word of video data of the processed video data portion or of video data of a processed video data portion of a next packet, is to be placed. Each data tag portion contains fewer bits than each corresponding page count portion.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a counter circuit, a logic circuit, and a clock divider. The counter circuit includes a clock divider counter to be loaded with most significant bits of a divider value, and decremented at a same edge of each pulse of a clock signal. The logic circuit compares a value contained in the divider counter to a reference value and generates an end count signal as a function of the value contained in the divider counter matching the reference value, and transitions a toggle signal at a same edge of each pulse of the end count signal. The clock divider counter is reloaded with the most significant bits of the divider value as a function of the end count signal. The clock divider generates a divided version of the clock signal as a function of the toggle signal.
