Abstract:
System, method, and computer program product embodiments are provided for a projected capacitive (PCAP) touch system that includes a touchscreen and two or more touch controller application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) communicatively coupled to the touchscreen, where connections between receiver (and/or driver) circuits of the two or more touch controller ASICs and touchscreen electrodes are interleaved. The two or more touch controller ASICs do not exchange raw mutual capacitance or self capacitance data during a measurement frame. Further, a processor may be coupled to the two or more touch controller ASICs, and may determine final touch coordinates based on all subsets of coarse touch coordinate data from each of the two or more touch controller ASICs. Embodiments also include determining each subset of coarse touch coordinate data based on a shape of a touch rather than a two-dimensional square or rectangular region of the touchscreen.

Claim (Index 16):
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors of a first touch controller application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to perform operations, the operations comprising:\n determining a first subset of coarse touch coordinate data based on first connections between receiver circuits of the first touch controller ASIC and a first subset of touchscreen electrodes of a projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen, wherein the first connections are interleaved with second connections, wherein the second connections are between receiver circuits of a second touch controller ASIC and a second subset of touchscreen electrodes of the PCAP touchscreen; and transmitting the first subset of coarse touch coordinate data from the first touch controller ASIC to a processor, wherein the processor receives a second subset of coarse touch coordinate data from one or more processors of the second touch controller ASIC that perform operations to determine the second subset of coarse touch coordinate data based on the second connections, and wherein the processor determines final touch coordinates based on the first subset of coarse touch coordinate data and the second subset of coarse touch coordinate data.
