REDUCING FLOATING GROUND EFFECTS IN PIXELATED SELF-CAPACITANCE TOUCH SCREENS
First Claim
1. A touch controller comprising:
- sense circuitry configured to be coupled to a first touch pixel and a second touch pixel on a touch sensor panel, the sense circuitry configured to;
during a first time period, drive and sense the first touch pixel and couple the second touch pixel to a reference voltage; and
during a second time period, drive and sense the second touch pixel and couple the first touch pixel to the reference voltage.

Abstract
A touch controller is disclosed. In some examples, the touch controller can include sense circuitry configured to be coupled to a first touch pixel and a second touch pixel on a touch sensor panel. In some examples, the sense circuitry can be configured to drive and sense the first touch pixel during a first time period while coupling the second touch pixel to a reference voltage. In some examples, the sense circuitry can be configured to drive and sense the second touch pixel during a second time period while coupling the first touch pixel to the reference voltage. In some examples, the reference voltage can be a system ground of the touch controller. In some examples, the sense circuitry can be configured to drive and sense pluralities of touch pixels in a similar manner.
