Abstract:
A method includes driving, by a first driver circuit, a current through an electrode and detecting, by a sensing system, a touch based on a change in capacitance at the electrode. The first driver circuit includes a first operational transconductance amplifier and a first current mirror. A second current mirror is coupled to the sensing system. A first switch is coupled to the first current mirror. A second switch is coupled to the first current mirror and the first operational transconductance amplifier. A third switch is coupled to the first operational transconductance amplifier and the second current mirror. A fourth switch is coupled to the second current mirror. A fifth switch is coupled to the first operational transconductance amplifier. A sixth switch is coupled to the first operational transconductance amplifier. A seventh switch is coupled to the first operational transconductance amplifier, the first current mirror, and the second current mirror.

Claim (Index 36):
A method comprising:\n driving, by a first driver circuit, a current through an electrode of a plurality of electrodes of a touch sensor, the first driver circuit comprising a first operational transconductance amplifier and a first current mirror coupled to the first operational transconductance amplifier; detecting, by a sensing system coupled to the first driver circuit, a touch based on a change in capacitance at the electrode of the plurality of electrodes of the touch sensor; providing, by the first current mirror, a first current to the sensing system; providing, by a second current mirror coupled to the sensing system, a second current to the sensing system; providing to the sensing system, by a third current mirror coupled to the first current mirror and to the sensing system, a third current that is opposite in polarity to the first current; and providing to the sensing system, by a fourth current mirror coupled to the second current mirror and to the sensing system, a fourth current that is opposite in polarity to the second current.
