CAPACITIVE TOUCH SENSOR WITH POLARITY NORMALIZATION

摘要

This application relates to a projected capacitive touch sensor with polarity normalization. The sensor includes a sensor grid including one or more electrically conductive rows and one or more electrically conductive columns. The sensor further includes a first column multiplexer that is connected to a first portion of the one or more electrically conductive columns. The sensor further includes a second column multiplexer that is connected to a second portion of the one or more electrically conductive columns. The sensor further includes a polarity switching circuit that is configured to determine a polarity of a differential signal generated from an output of the first column multiplexer and an output of the second column multiplexer, and based on determining the polarity of the differential signal, determining whether to switch the polarity of the differential signal.
