Abstract:
A system and method for digital differential detection includes a capacitive sensor having a first node and a second node, a transmitter configured to transmit an input signal through the first node and the second node, and a receiver coupled to the first node and the second node. The receiver is configured to receive a first modified input signal from the first node and a second modified input signal from the second node. The receiver includes first and second analog-to-digital converters configured to convert the first modified input signal to a first digital signal and the second modified input signal to a second digital signal. The receiver also includes a first differencing circuit configured to calculate a first difference between the first digital signal and a second digital signal and a decision circuit configured to output a result according to the first difference.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for differential detection for capacitive sensors comprising:\n receiving a first modified input signal from a first node of a capacitive sensor; receiving a second modified input signal from a second node of the capacitive sensor; converting the first modified input signal to a first digital signal using a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC); converting the second modified input signal to a second digital signal using a second ADC; processing a result according to a first difference, wherein the first difference is calculated by subtracting the second digital signal from the first digital signal.
