Abstract: An electronic control system provides selectable linear and pulse-width modulated (PWM) operation with reduced disruption when changing from PWM operation to linear operation. The system includes an output stage that has a push-pull driver coupled to the load, which may be a motor, a haptic device, or other device requiring current-mode control. The system also includes a pulse-width modulated (PWM) driver for providing pulse-width modulated drive signals to gates of the transistors of the output stage when a pulse-width modulated mode is selected, and a linear amplifier stage that provides a linear analog signal to the gates of the transistors when a linear mode is selected. A pre-charging circuit pre-charges the gates during a pre-charge cycle that is initiated when the operating mode changes from the PWM operating more to the linear operating mode.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for separating an interference signal from a carrier signal for sensing a capacitance of a capacitive sensor. An analog front end, AFE, circuit for a capacitive sensor comprises an input configured to receive an input signal from the capacitive sensor, wherein the input signal comprises a carrier signal and an interference signal; a first signal path between the input and an output configured to output an output signal, wherein the first signal path is configured with a first impedance at a frequency of the interference signal; and a second signal path coupled to the input, wherein the second signal path is configured with a second impedance at the frequency of the interference signal, wherein the second impedance is lower than the first impedance so as to reduce a voltage swing caused by the interference signal at the input.
