  • Patent number: 9766738
    Abstract: A technique for improving capacitive sensing accuracy. Concurrent activations of multiple capacitance sensors within an array of capacitance sensors are sensed. One of the concurrent activations of the multiple capacitance sensors is accepted as a user activation. Remaining ones of the concurrent activations of the multiple capacitance sensors are rejected based on their physical location within the array of capacitance sensors relative to the one of the concurrent activations of the multiple capacitance sensors accepted as the user activation.

  • Patent number: 8558578
    Abstract: A programmable input/output circuit includes a programmable output circuit configured to drive an output signal to an input/output pad at a plurality of voltages, at least one of the plurality of voltages being supplied by an external circuit. The programmable input/output circuit further includes a programmable input configured to detect an input signal from the input/output pad at the plurality of voltages. The voltage levels of the input and output circuits may be independently and dynamically controllable.
