Device with Touch Screen Controller

Abstract

A device includes a touch screen that includes a plurality of sensors. The device also includes a touch screen controller that includes a plurality of drive sense circuits, where a drive sense circuit is associated with a sensor of the plurality of sensors, and the drive sense circuit senses an electrical characteristic of the sensor. The device also includes a processing module operably coupled to the plurality of sensing circuits, where the processing module is operable to receive a sense signal regarding the electrical characteristic, determine a coordinate location of the sensor based on the sense signal, and generate a proximal touch signal that includes the coordinate location of the sensor.
