1. An adaptive digital filtering method for touch data acquired in a touch display device including a plurality of sense channels, the method comprising:
- storing the touch data in a buffer;
estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the stored touch data;
selecting a digital filter tap for a digital filter having plurality of filter taps based on the estimated SNR; and
filtering on the touch data using the digital filter after selecting the digital filter tap.

Abstract
An adaptive digital filtering method and apparatus for touch data in a touch system is described. Adaptive digital filtering involves estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for stored touch data, and reducing a digital filter order if the SNR is high and increasing the digital filter order if the SNR is small.
