Abstract: Techniques are described for discrete-time self-capacitor sensing in a touch panel. The self-capacitor manifests a detectably different capacitance based on presence or absence of a local touch event on the touch panel. In a first time phase, embodiments charge a self-capacitor and initialize a ramp bias generator. In a second time phase, embodiments discharge the self-capacitor with a ramp-controlled current source that is biased by the ramp bias generator to produce a discharge current that transitions from high at the beginning of the second time phase to low at the end of the second time phase. By the end of the second phase, the remaining charge in the self-capacitor depends on presence or absence of a local touch event. Some embodiments convert the remaining charge to an amplified sense output for readout.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using an alternating-current-mode (AC-mode) bridge for low-noise self-capacitor sensing in a capacitive touch panel array integrated with a display panel. Each channel of the array has a self-capacitance (Ci) that changes responsive to presence or absence of a local touch event local. Pairs of channels are read out differentially by coupling pairs of channels to branches of an AC-mode bridge. The AC-mode bridge includes current sources that drive each branch (and thereby each channel) with a sinusoidal current, manifesting a branch voltage on each branch based on the self-capacitance of the branch. The branch voltages are used to generate an output voltage. The sinusoidal current is controlled by comparing a driver signal with feedback from the branches, so that common-mode noise on the channels becomes a common-mode component of the sinusoidal currents and is rejected in the generation of the output voltage.
