1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a first signal at a capacitance sensor from a stylus via capacitive coupling between the stylus and a capacitive sense array coupled to the capacitance sensor; and

    in response to the receiving of the first signal by the capacitance sensor, synchronizing a timing of the capacitance sensor to a timing of the first signal by adjusting the timing of the capacitance sensor using the timing of the first signal, wherein receive (RX) signals from the capacitive sense array remain active during the synchronizing of the timing of the capacitance sensor.
