Two dimensional position sensor

A device comprising:

• a position sensor comprising:
• a plurality of x-electrodes that generally extend in an x-direction;
• and
• a plurality of y-electrodes that generally extend in the x-direction and are interleaved with the x-electrodes in a y-direction that is substantially perpendicular to the x-direction, the x-electrodes and y-electrodes being arranged together in a pattern that defines a sensitive area, none of the y-electrodes being adjacent to another one of the y-electrodes in the y-direction, the plurality of y-electrodes being arranged in y-electrode groups of at least two y-electrodes, the y-electrodes of each y-electrode group being connected to each other, one or more of the x-electrodes each being adjacent to one or more other ones of the x-electrodes in the y-direction, the x-electrodes comprising first, second, and third groups of elements, the elements in each of the first, second, and third groups of elements being connected to each other but not to elements in another-one of the groups, the elements in the first, second, and third groups having shapes configured for:
• adjacent ones of the elements in the first and second groups to co-extend in the x-direction over a portion of the sensitive area and to provide ratiometric capacitive signals with respect to each other in the x-direction;
• and
• adjacent ones of the elements in the second and third groups to co-extend in the x-direction over another portion of the sensitive area and to provide ratiometric capacitive signals with respect to each other in the x-direction,
• circuitry configured to drive and process information from the position sensor.
