Concurrent sensing in touch screen controller with improved noise rejection

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electronic device including a sensing layer including a plurality of sense lines, and a plurality of single ended charge converter circuits each receiving input from a corresponding one of the plurality of sense lines. The electronic device also includes a plurality of current mirror circuits, each respectively mirroring output from one of the plurality of single ended charge converter circuits so as to produce two substantially identical outputs for each of the plurality of single ended charge converter circuits. There may be a plurality of subtractor circuits coupled to the plurality of current mirror circuits, with each of the plurality of subtractor circuits configured to output a voltage that is a function of a difference between outputs from two of the plurality of current mirror circuits associated with adjacent ones of the sense lines.
