Patent number: 11954287Abstract: Techniques are described for using a multi-branch AC-mode bridge approach with global current rotation for self-capacitor sensing in a capacitive touch panel, such as integrated into a display of a touchscreen electronic device. K channels are coupled with K branches of a multi-branch AC-mode bridge to form K?1 pairs of channels for concurrent differential readout. K nominally identical sinusoidal input currents are generated based on an error signal, which is generated based on comparing a sinusoidal driver signal with feedback from one or more of the K branches. A unit current rotator rotates the K sinusoidal input currents to each of the branches, so that each branch current is formed by a rotating contribution from each of the sinusoidal input currents. Driving each branch with its branch current manifests a respective branch voltage, and differences between the branch voltages can be used to differentially sense pairs of channels.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: SHENZHEN GOODIX TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Chao Yang, Mohamed Elsayed, Dazhi Wei
