DRIVING SENSOR ELECTRODES FOR PROXIMITY SENSING

摘要

In an example, a processing system includes: a sensor module comprising sensor circuitry, the sensor module configured to: drive, during a first time period, a first sensor electrode of a first plurality of sensor electrodes for absolute capacitive sensing, a second sensor electrode of the first plurality of sensor electrodes with a reference signal, and at least one sensor electrode of a second plurality of sensor electrodes with a guard signal, to acquire first changes of capacitance between the first sensor electrode and at least one input object in proximity with the first sensor electrode; and a determination module configured to determine positional information for the at least one input object based at least in part on changes of capacitance acquired by the sensor module.
