Abstract:
A capacitive sensing system includes a capacitive sensing panel with drive lines and sense lines. Each drive line includes a drive circuit. A code generator operates to generate modulation codes. A drive controller generates drive signals wherein each drive signal is modulated by one of the modulation codes. The generated drive signals are applied to the drive lines through the drive circuits. The drive controller operates to simultaneously generate the drive signals for application to a corresponding group of drive lines during a drive period. Separate groups of drive lines are sequentially driven with the same drive signals during drive periods that only partially overlap.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of sensing capacitance of a capacitive sensing panel including a plurality of drive lines and a plurality of sense lines which intersect at capacitive sensing nodes, the method comprising:\n generating a plurality of drive signals that are modulated by modulation codes which have at least one in-phase code component and at least one anti-phase code component, the drive signals including at least one in-phase signal component corresponding to the at least one in-phase code component specified by the modulation code and at least one anti-phase signal component corresponding to the at least one anti-phase code component as specified by the modulation code; simultaneously driving a group of the drive signals to a corresponding group of drive lines during a drive period, the drive signals in the group being modulated by different modulation codes, wherein separate groups of the drive lines are sequentially driven with the same plurality of drive signals during drive periods that only partially overlap; and wherein the different modulation codes used to modulate the drive signals in the group have arrangements of in-phase and anti-phase code components which enable sensing of capacitance during each drive period of only the capacitive sensing nodes which are associated with the corresponding group of the drive lines.
