Abstract: Touch induced flicker for variable refresh rate (VRR) displays can be reduced by adjusting one or more voltages. Synchronization of touch sensing operations after an immediate exit can introduce flicker issues into the VRR display. In some examples, the touched induced flicker can be reduced or eliminated by tuning the voltage on a common electrode (Vcom) to a tuning point that reduces a maximum error below a threshold, irrespective of refresh rate. In some examples, touch induced flicker can be reduced or eliminated by monitoring average Vcom, and when the change in average Vcom exceeds a threshold, Vcom can be adjusted to counteract the change in average Vcom due to the variable refresh rate and/or immediate exit. In some examples, touch induced flicker can be reduced or eliminated by applying a direct current (DC) pedestal to pixel gate lines during touch sensing scans.

Abstract: An analog front end (AFE) can be implemented with automatic variable gain control for self-capacitance based touch- and proximity-sensitive touch sensor panels or touch screens. The AFE can include a charge amplifier and an oversampled analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AFE can also include multiple signal paths between the charge amplifier and the ADC. The variable gain control can monitor the output of the oversampled ADC and, based on the oversampled ADC output, automatically select one of the multiple signal paths. When the output of the ADC indicates a proximity condition (e.g., relatively small signal, relatively large noise headroom when compared with a touch condition), the automatically selected signal path can amplify the charge amplifier output. The bit resolution of the oversampled ADC in the AFE can be relaxed as a result of the variable gain control.
