  • Capacitive touch sensing with high safety integrity
    Patent number: 11264986
    Abstract: A method for capacitive touch sensing with high safety integrity includes measuring at least one of a first mutual-capacitance of an electrode pair comprising two of a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode, and a self-capacitance between the third electrode and a body biased to a fixed voltage. A contact of the body to a dielectric overlaying each of the first electrode, the second electrode and the third electrode is detected by comparing at least one of the first mutual-capacitance of the electrode pair to a first reference range, and the self-capacitance to a second reference range.
