    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for a capacitive sensing device. The method includes transmitting a stimulation signal to a driving channel of the capacitive sensing device. The stimulation signal includes a plurality of sub-stimulation signals. Each of the sub-stimulation signals is characterized by an amplitude and a frequency. The frequencies of the sub-stimulation signals are orthogonal. The method further includes receiving a charge signal from a sensing channel of the capacitive sensing device. The charge signal is generated from the stimulation signal through a capacitance between the driving channel and the sensing channel. The method further includes detecting, from the charge signal, a plurality of sub-charge signal amplitudes at the frequencies of the sub-stimulation signals, and reporting a value about the capacitance from the sub-charge signal amplitudes. The method benefits the capacitive sensing device for increased noise immunity, reduced dynamic range, and reduced power consumption.
