Abstract: Power amplifier modules (PAMs) having topside cooling interfaces are disclosed, as are methods for fabricating such PAMs. In embodiments, the method includes attaching the RF power die to a die support-surface of a module substrate. The RF power die is attached to the module substrate in an inverted orientation such that a frontside of the RF power die faces the module substrate. When attaching the RF power die to the module substrate, a frontside input/output interface of the RF power die is electrically coupled to corresponding substrate interconnect features of the module substrate. The method further includes providing a primary heat extraction path extending from the transistor channel of the RF power die to a topside cooling interface of the PAM in a direction opposite the module substrate.

Abstract: This application is directed to detecting touch events on a touch sensing surface coupled to a capacitive sense array and one or more force electrodes. The capacitive sense array includes a plurality of sense electrodes configured to provide a plurality of capacitive sense signals. The force electrodes are configured to provide one or more force signals. A subset of sense electrodes are determined to be associated with a candidate touch based on the capacitive sense signals and their associated baseline values. When force associated with the force signals is below a predetermined force threshold, the candidate touch is determined as an invalid touch (e.g., coverage by a water drop on an area of the touch sensing surface corresponding to the subset of sense electrodes). Baseline values are adjusted for the subset of sense electrodes for determining subsequent touch events associated with the subset of sense electrodes.

Abstract: A heating control method is provided for a multi-stage heating system including a heating circuit having a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. An auxiliary heater is provided that is selectively controlled independently of the heating circuit. During a heating cycle in which the ambient outside temperature is greater than the balance point temperature associated with the operation of the heating circuit, the auxiliary heating circuit is normally prevented from operating.
