Abstract:
A readout device for a capacitive sense matrix includes a computer readable storage medium configured to store capacitance data. The capacitance data represents capacitance values of the capacitive sense matrix. The readout device also includes a readout circuit configured to receive a signal from the capacitive sense matrix, the readout circuit being configured based upon the capacitance data. Also described are a readout method and a method of compensating for variations in capacitance.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n setting a capacitance of a variable capacitor in accordance with an expected capacitance value of a sense capacitor of a capacitive sense matrix, the variable capacitor being different from any sense capacitor within the capacitive sense matrix; receiving a first signal from the capacitive sense matrix that is indicative of a sensed capacitance value from the sense capacitor; receiving a second signal from the variable capacitor that is indicative of the expected capacitance value; and determining a difference between the first and second signals to generate an output signal.
