Abstract: This disclosure generally provides an input device, electronic systems and processing system for touch sensing. In one example, an input device for touch sensing includes receiver electrodes and transmitter electrodes arranged in transmitter and receiver electrode columns. Each transmitter electrode within each transmitter electrode column is paired with two adjacent receiver electrodes of a first column of the receiver electrode columns. A first plurality of traces couple a first group of receiver electrodes in the first receiver electrode column, the first plurality of traces not passing between the transmitter and receiver electrodes of the first transmitter and receiver electrode columns. A second plurality of traces coupled a second group of receiver electrodes in the first receiver electrode column, the second plurality of traces passing between one of the transmitter electrodes of the first transmitter electrode column and one of the receiver electrodes of the second group of receiver electrodes.

Abstract: A method for performing capacitive force sensing involves acquiring a plurality of changes of capacitance at a plurality of sensor electrodes, determining an input object location, obtaining a mixed signal representing the plurality of changes of capacitance at the input object location, wherein the mixed signal comprises a touch signal portion and a bending signal portion, identifying at least one inflection point using the mixed signal, using the at least one inflection point, identifying a touch signal region of the mixed signal, performing curve fitting to complete the bending signal portion in the touch signal region of the mixed signal to obtain a completed bending signal, and determining an applied force based on the completed bending signal.
