Abstract:
Noise compensation techniques for capacitive touch screen systems. The techniques may include measurement operations that may measure coupled noise frequencies that may be induced on a capacitive touch screen. Noise measurement techniques may include driving a stimulus voltage(s) to a conductor(s) of a capacitive touch screen and sampling return signals from a touch screen conductor(s). Noise measurement techniques may further include sampling ambient return signals from a touch screen conductor(s) in the absence of a stimulus voltage(s). Coupled noise frequencies may also be calculated from a first measured noise frequency. A touch screen control system may use measured or calculated coupled noise frequencies to configure operational parameters that may compensate for the coupled noise during operation of the capacitive touch screen.
