Circuitry is described for compensating leakage currents in capacitive sensing circuits. A single active leakage compensation circuit may sense a representative leakage current and drive a plurality of output transistors, each of which provides a compensating current to a respective capacitive sensing circuit. The leakage compensation circuit may sense current flow through a device substantially equivalent to a device exhibiting leakage current in a capacitive sensing circuit, and in response, provide a signal to drive one or more output transistors to supply approximately equivalent currents to a plurality of circuit nodes. For embodiments having multiple similar capacitive sensors and capacitive sensing circuits, only one transistor need be added to each capacitive sensing circuit to compensate for leakage current.
