Patent number: 11868561Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of multi-phase scanning of a touch panel are described. One apparatus selects a sequence having a number of one values, negative one values, and zero values. The one values correspond to an in-phase drive signal, the negative one values correspond to an opposite-phase drive signal, and the zero values correspond to a reference signal (e.g., reference voltage or ground). A sum of the sequence is equal to zero. The apparatus applies one of the in-phase drive signal, the opposite-phase drive signal, or the reference signal to each of a first set of electrodes at a first stage according to the sequence. The apparatus rotates the sequence to obtain a rotated sequence and applies one of the signals according to the rotated sequence. The apparatus receives sense signals to detect a presence of an object on the touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Volodymyr Bihday, Andriy Maharyta, Igor Kravets, Mykhaylo Krekhovetskyy, Ihor Musijchuk

Patent number: 10775929Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system measure, at a first channel of a processing device, a first signal indicative of a touch object proximate to an electrode layer. The first signal includes a touch data component and a first noise component generated by a noise source. The method, apparatus, and system measure, at a second channel of the processing device, a second signal including a second noise component generated by the noise source. The second channel is coupled to a shield layer disposed between the noise source and the electrode layer. The method, apparatus, and system generate an estimated noise signal using the second noise component of the second signal that is associated with the second channel. The method, apparatus, and system subtract the estimated noise signal from the measured first signal to obtain the touch data component of the first signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Igor Kravets, Volodymyr Bihday, Ihor Musijchuk

Publication number: 20190179446Abstract: A capacitance sensing device includes a transmit (TX) generator for generating a sequence of receive (RX) signals by applying each TX signal pattern in a sequence of TX signal patterns to a set of sensor electrodes. For each TX signal pattern in the sequence of TX signal patterns, and for each subset of three or more contiguous sensor electrodes of the set of sensor electrodes, the TX generator applies to the subset one of a first excitation signal and a second excitation signal. The plurality of subsets includes at least half of the sensor electrodes in the set of sensor electrodes. The capacitance sensing device also includes a sequencer circuit coupled with the TX generator. For each TX signal pattern in the sequence of TX signal patterns, the sequencer circuit determines a next subsequent TX signal pattern in the sequence based on a circular rotation of the TX signal pattern. The capacitance sensing device also includes a processing block coupled with the TX generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Viktor Kremin, Volodymyr Bihday, Ruslan Omelchuk, Oleksandr Pirogov, Vasyl Mandziy, Roman Ogirko, Ihor Musijchuk, Andriy Maharyta, Igor Kolych, Igor Kravets
