Abstract: A capacitive sensor with a plurality of sense inputs (M1, M2, M3) connectable to capacitive sense electrodes (21, 22, 23) and a common reference input (REF), each sense input and the reference input can be put in a measure state, in a ground state, or in a shield state. The sensor can be equipped with external reference capacitors between each of the sense input and the common reference terminal.One measurement mode is for determining the self-capacitance of the respective sensing electrode. In this mode the capacitance of a selected sense input (M1, M2, M3) is measured and the common reference input (REF) is operated as an active shield having the same potential as the selected sense input. In order to determine the compensation value, in a further mode, the capacitance of the reference input (REF) is measured and the selected sense input is grounded. During this mode, the other sense inputs, which are not selected, are operated as active shields having the same potential as the reference node. The latter value is used to compensate the value determined in the self-capacitance mode.When operating the sensor in this way, the reference capacitor can be read individually by selectively pulling one of the input terminals to ground and driving the other to be equipotential with the reference input.

Abstract: Techniques to implement subtractive dither in a multi-stage ADC. Subtractive dither involves adding a first dither signal at a first node and adding a second dither signal at a second node (which can be the same as the first node), where the first and second dither signal combine and sum to approximately zero. By utilizing subtractive dither in a multi-stage ADC, the headroom requirements of a loop filter in a main loop of the ADC and the range requirements of a feedback DAC in the main loop can both be relaxed.

IPC: H04B3/46
Filed: 2006-02-28
Abstract: Transitions between states and/or profiles for a line in a communication system, such as a DSL system, are controlled by evaluating the current state of the line and one or more target states. Evaluation of the feasibility of staying in the current state or moving to one of the target states can be based on distributions of reported and estimated data distilled from operational data collected from the communication system. The target states may be prioritized and arranged in a matrix. Feasibility may take into account both the sufficiency of available data and the line's likely behavior in the current state and any potential target state. Probabilities of meeting operational and/or performance thresholds can be used in various sub-rules whose outputs can be combined in an overall rule that provides a feasibility or infeasibility decision. Old data can be weighted or completely purged to control its influence on a potential transition. In a DSL system these weightings, sub-rules and other factors may reflect differences between upstream and downstream behavior and data transmission. Changing line conditions, performance goals, etc. can be accommodated by adjusting and/or updating sub-rules, rules, threshold tables, vectors, matrices, etc. adaptively or dynamically.
