INTEGRATED TOUCH SENSOR AND FORCE SENSOR FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE |
摘要 |
Systems and method of performing touch and force sensing in an electronic device. The device includes a cover and an array of touch-sensor electrodes disposed below the cover. The first array of electrodes may be configured to sense a touch on the cover using a capacitive sensing scheme. The device also includes a force-sensor drive electrode disposed below the first array of electrodes and a force-sensor sense electrode disposed below the force-sensor drive electrode. The force-sensor drive and sense electrode may be configured to sense a force on the cover. The device also includes a shared drive circuit having an output that is operatively coupled to the array of touch-sensor electrodes and the force-sensor drive electrode. |
