CROSS-REFERENCE RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/261,631, filed Sep. 24, 2021, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. 
    
    
     FIELD OF DISCLOSURE 
     This relates generally to an electronic device using reference voltages, and more particularly to an electronic device including integrated micro circuitry configurable for sampling low noise reference voltage for touch and/or proximity sensing. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Many types of input devices are presently available for performing operations in a computing system, such as buttons or keys, mice, trackballs, joysticks, touch sensor panels, touch screens and the like. Touch screens, in particular, are popular because of their ease and versatility of operation as well as their declining price. Touch screens can include a touch sensor panel, which can be a clear panel with a touch-sensitive surface, and a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diode (LED) display or organic light emitting diode (OLED) display that can be positioned partially or fully behind the panel so that the touch-sensitive surface can cover at least a portion of the viewable area of the display device. Touch screens can allow a user to perform various functions by touching the touch sensor panel using a finger, stylus or other object at a location often dictated by a user interface (UI) being displayed by the display device. In general, touch screens can recognize a touch and the position of the touch on the touch sensor panel, and the computing system can then interpret the touch in accordance with the display appearing at the time of the touch, and thereafter can perform one or more actions based on the touch. In the case of some touch sensing systems, a physical touch on the display is not needed to detect a touch. For example, in some capacitive-type touch sensing systems, fringing electric fields used to detect touch can extend beyond the surface of the display, and objects approaching near the surface may be detected near the surface without actually touching the surface. 
     Capacitive touch sensor panels can be formed by a matrix of transparent, semi-transparent, or non-transparent conductive plates made of materials such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). In some examples, the conductive plates can be formed from other materials including conductive polymers, metal mesh, graphene, nanowires (e.g., silver nanowires) or nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes). It is due in part to their substantial transparency that some capacitive touch sensor panels can be overlaid on a display to form a touch screen, as described above. Some touch screens can be formed by at least partially integrating touch sensing circuitry into a display pixel stack up (i.e., the stacked material layers forming the display pixels). In some examples, a touch screen can include micro circuitry (e.g., chiplets) including touch sensing circuitry. 
     In some cases, parasitic or stray capacitances can exist between the touch node electrodes used for sensing touch on the touch sensor panels, and other components of the devices in which the touch sensor panels are included, which can be referenced to a chassis ground (also referred to herein as device ground or earth ground). These parasitic or stray capacitances can introduce errors and/or offsets into the touch outputs of the touch sensor panels. Therefore, it can be beneficial to reduce or eliminate such parasitic or stray capacitances. Additionally, with reference to touch screens utilizing micro circuitry, for example, especially micro circuitry in high-resistive supply networks, interference (e.g., various noise sources, supply ripple, bounce) can be picked up by any reference voltages being supplied to the micro circuitry or shared among the micro circuitry, thus amplifying noise and introducing errors and/or offsets into the touch outputs of the micro circuitry. Therefore, it can be beneficial to also reduce, eliminate, or prevent such noise from being introduced. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     This relates generally to an electronic device using sampled low-noise reference voltages, and more particularly to an electronic device including integrated micro circuitry configurable for sampling low noise reference voltage for touch and/or proximity sensing. A touch screen, such as an integrated touch screen, can include light emitting diodes or organic light emitting diodes (LEDs/OLEDs) and chiplets. In some examples, the LEDs/OLEDs and chiplets can be disposed in a visible area of the integrated touch screen. In some examples, some or all of the chiplets can be disposed outside of the visible area of the integrated touch screen. In some examples, the chiplets can include display driving circuitry and touch sensing circuitry. In some examples, the chiplets can include voltage sampling circuitry and can be further configured for sampling operations including obtaining one or more low-noise reference voltages. Although often described herein as chiplets performing both touch sensing and display functionality, in some examples, the chiplets can include separate touch chiplets configured to perform voltage sampling and/or touch sensing and display chiplets configured to perform voltage sampling and/or display functionality. The LEDs/OLEDs and chiplets can be placed on a substrate by a micro-transfer tool, for example. 
     The integrated touch screen can also include electrodes (e.g., ITO) disposed in the visible area of the integrated touch screen. In some examples, the electrodes can provide touch functionality (e.g., via the one or more touch chiplets) during touch sensing operation. During the touch sensing operation, touch node electrodes can be formed from groups of the electrodes and sensed. 
     Additionally or alternatively, an electronic device including a touch screen (e.g., an integrated touch screen using chiplets) can be configured for low-noise reference voltage sampling and subsequent touch sensing using the sampled reference voltage. In some examples, an integrated touch screen can include multiple regions, and each of the multiple regions can include multiple touch node electrodes. Chiplets can be configured to sample one or more reference voltage pins during an analog quiet time to obtain one or more sampled low-noise reference signals localized to each chiplet. The chiplets can then be configured to sense capacitance at some of or at each of the regions (e.g., using chiplets coupled to some of the touch node electrodes of each of the regions and configured to operate in a touch sensing configuration) using the one or more sampled low-noise reference signals. As a result, localized touch can be effectively and reliably captured for the electronic device. Additionally, on-chip impacts of interference events may be minimized or prevented, resulting in improved touch and/or proximity sensing. 
     Additionally or alternatively, an electronic device including a touch screen (e.g., an integrated touch screen using chiplets) can be configured for frequency response demodulation and signal filtering for detection of touch and/or proximity events at or near the touch screen. In some examples, an integrated touch screen can include multiple regions, and each of the multiple regions can include multiple touch node electrodes. Chiplets can be configured to sense capacitance at some of or at each of the regions (e.g., using chiplets coupled to some of the touch node electrodes of each of the regions and configured to operate in a touch sensing configuration). The chiplets can then be configured to, using analog demodulation circuitry, apply one or more gated demodulation signals to the touch signals (e.g., corresponding to the sensed capacitance at the touch node electrodes) to adjust the demodulation frequency response. As a result, thermal drift may be reduced. Additionally or alternatively, the chiplets can be configured to filter digital data corresponding to the touch signals using a two-stage, cascaded decimation filter. In some examples, the two-stage, cascaded decimation filter of each chiplet includes a first decimation filter and a second decimation filter each having a configurable decimation rate and configured to filter the digital data with the analog demodulator operating, or with the analog demodulator being bypassed. As a result, chiplet space occupancy may be improved.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In the following description of examples, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which it is shown by way of illustration specific examples that can be practiced. It is to be understood that other examples can be used, and structural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosed examples. 
     This relates generally to an electronic device using sampled low-noise reference voltages, and more particularly to an electronic device including integrated micro circuitry configurable for sampling one or more reference voltages for touch and/or proximity sensing. A touch screen, such as an integrated touch screen, can include light emitting diodes or organic light emitting diodes (LEDs/OLEDs) and chiplets.

In some examples, some or all of the chiplets can be disposed outside of the visible area of the integrated touch screen. In some examples, the chiplets can include voltage-sampling circuitry (“voltage-sampling circuitry,” “sampling circuitry”). In some examples, the chiplets can include display-driving circuitry and touch sensing circuitry. Although often described herein as chiplets performing voltage sampling and touch sensing and/or display functionality, in some examples, the chiplets can include separate touch chiplets configured to perform voltage sampling and touch sensing and display chiplets configured to perform voltage sampling and display functionality. The LEDs/OLEDs and chiplets can be placed on a substrate by a micro-transfer tool, as an example. 
     The integrated touch screen can also include electrodes (e.g., ITO) disposed in the visible area of the integrated touch screen. The electrodes can provide touch functionality (e.g., via the one or more touch chiplets) during touch sensing operation. During the touch sensing operation, touch node electrodes can be formed from groups of the electrodes and sensed.

       FIGS.  1 A- 1 E  illustrate example systems in which an integrated touch screen according to examples of the disclosure may be implemented.  FIG.  1 A  illustrates an example mobile telephone  136  that includes an integrated touch screen  124 .  FIG.  1 B  illustrates an example digital media player  140  that includes an integrated touch screen  126 .  FIG.  1 C  illustrates an example personal computer  144  that includes a trackpad  146  and an integrated touch screen  128 .  FIG.  1 D  illustrates an example tablet computer  148  that includes an integrated touch screen  130 .  FIG.  1 E  illustrates an example wearable device  150  (e.g., a watch) that includes an integrated touch screen  152 . It is understood that the above integrated touch screens can be implemented in other devices as well. Additionally it should be understood that although the disclosure herein primarily focuses on integrated touch screens, some of the disclosure is also applicable to touch sensor panels without a corresponding display. 
     In some examples, touch screens  124 ,  126 ,  128 ,  130  and  152  can be based on self-capacitance. A self-capacitance-based touch system can include a matrix of small, individual plates of conductive material or groups of individual plates of conductive material forming larger conductive regions that can be referred to as touch node electrodes. For example, a touch screen can include a plurality of individual touch node electrodes, each touch node electrode identifying or representing a unique location (e.g., a touch node) on the touch screen at which touch or proximity is to be sensed, and each touch node electrode being electrically isolated from the other touch node electrodes in the touch screen/panel. Such a touch screen can be referred to as a pixelated self-capacitance touch screen, though it is understood that in some examples, the touch node electrodes on the touch screen can be used to perform scans other than self-capacitance scans on the touch screen (e.g., mutual capacitance scans). During operation, a touch node electrode can be stimulated with an AC waveform, and the self-capacitance to ground of the touch node electrode can be measured. As an object approaches the touch node electrode, the self-capacitance to ground of the touch node electrode can change (e.g., increase). This change in the self-capacitance of the touch node electrode can be detected and measured by the touch sensing system to determine the positions of multiple objects when they touch, or come in proximity to, the touch screen. In some examples, the touch node electrodes of a self-capacitance-based touch system can be formed from rows and columns of conductive material, and changes in the self-capacitance to ground of the rows and columns can be detected, similar to above. In some examples, a touch screen can be multi-touch, single touch, projection scan, full-imaging multi-touch, capacitive touch, etc. 
     In some examples, touch screens  124 ,  126 ,  128 ,  130  and  152  can be based on mutual capacitance. A mutual capacitance-based touch system can include electrodes arranged as drive and sense lines that may cross over each other on different layers or may be adjacent to each other on the same layer. The crossing or adjacent locations can form touch nodes. During operation, the drive line can be stimulated with an AC waveform and the mutual capacitance of the touch node can be measured. As an object approaches the touch node, the mutual capacitance of the touch node can change (e.g., decrease). This change in the mutual capacitance of the touch node can be detected and measured by the touch sensing system to determine the positions of multiple objects when they touch, or come in proximity to, the touch screen. As described herein, in some examples, a mutual capacitance-based touch system can form touch nodes from a matrix of small, individual plates of conductive material. 
     In some examples, touch screens  124 ,  126 ,  128  and  130  can be based on mutual capacitance and/or self-capacitance. The electrodes can be arranged as a matrix of small, individual plates of conductive material or as drive lines and sense lines, or in another pattern. The electrodes can be configurable for mutual capacitance or self-capacitance sensing or a combination of mutual and self-capacitance sensing. For example, in one mode of operation, electrodes can be configured to sense mutual capacitance between electrodes, and in a different mode of operation, electrodes can be configured to sense self-capacitance of electrodes. In some examples, some of the electrodes can be configured to sense mutual capacitance therebetween and some of the electrodes can be configured to sense self-capacitance thereof. 
       FIG.  2 A  is a block diagram of an example computing system  200  that illustrates one implementation of an example integrated touch screen  204  according to examples of the disclosure. As described in more detail herein, the integrated touch screen  204  can include light emitting diodes (LEDs) or organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) represented by micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207  (e.g., integrated chiplets including LED/OLED drivers, voltage sampling circuitry and/or touch sensing circuitry). In some examples, the functionality of chiplets can be divided into separate display chiplets  208  (e.g., including LED/OLED drivers) and touch chiplets  210  (e.g., including voltage sampling circuitry and touch sensing circuitry). Computing system  200  can be included in, for example, mobile telephone  136 , digital media player  140 , personal computer  144 , tablet computer  148 , wearable device  150  or any mobile or non-mobile computing device that includes a touch screen. Computing system  200  can include integrated touch and display module  202 , host processor  220  and program storage  218 . Integrated touch and display module  202  can include integrated touch screen  204  and integrated circuits for operation of integrated touch screen  204 . In some examples, integrated touch and display module  202  can be formed on a single substrate with micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207  (or display chiplets  208  and/or touch chiplets  210 ) of integrated touch screen  204  on one side of the touch screen and integrated circuits controlling operation of micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207  mounted on an opposite side of the single substrate. Forming integrated touch and display module  202  in this way can provide for simplified manufacturing and assembly of devices with a touch screen. In some examples, the integrated touch and display module  202  can be formed on a single substrate with micro-LEDs  206  on one side of the substrate and chiplets  207  (or display chiplets  208  and/or touch chiplets  210 ) of integrated touch screen  204  and integrated circuits controlling operation of micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207  mounted on an opposite side of the single substrate. 
     Integrated circuits for operation of integrated touch screen  204  can include an integrated touch and display integrated circuit (touch and display controller)  212 , a power management unit (PMU)  214 , and optionally a guard integrated circuit (guard IC)  216 . As described in more detail herein, self-capacitance touch sensing performance can be improved (and parasitic capacitance effects reduced) by performing touch sensing operations in a different power domain than in the chassis power domain. In some examples, guard IC  216  can be used to operate integrated touch and display module  202  in a guard power domain during guarded touch operation and operate touch and display module  202  in the chassis power domain otherwise (e.g., during non-guarded touch operations or during display operations). Power management unit  214  can be an integrated circuit configured to provide the voltages necessary for the touch and display controller  212 , including guard-referenced power supplies when operating in a guarded power domain. The touch and display controller  212  can include circuitry to perform/control voltage sampling, touch sensing, and/or display operations (e.g., according to the voltage sampling operation illustrated in  FIG.  6   ). Although illustrated in  FIG.  2 A  as a single integrated circuit, the various components and/or functionality of the touch and display controller  212  can be implemented with multiple circuits, elements, chips, and/or discrete components (e.g., a separate touch integrated circuit  213 , a separate display integrated circuit  211 , and/or a separate sampling integrated circuit  215  with an integrated circuit to handle the handoff therebetween). 
     The touch and display controller  212  can include display circuitry  211  to perform display operations. Display circuitry  211  can include hardware to process one or more still images and/or one or more video sequences for display on integrated touch screen  204 . The display circuitry  211  can be configured to generate read memory operations to read the data representing the frame/video sequence from a memory (not shown) through a memory controller (not shown), for example, or can receive the data representing the frame/video sequence from host processor  220 . The display circuitry  211  can be configured to perform various processing on the image data (e.g., still images, video sequences, etc.). In some examples, the display circuitry  211  can be configured to scale still images and to dither, scale and/or perform color space conversion on the frames of a video sequence. Display circuitry  211  can be configured to blend the still image frames and the video sequence frames to produce output frames for display. The display circuitry  211  can also be more generally referred to as a display controller, display pipe, display control unit, or display pipeline. The display control unit can be generally any hardware and/or firmware configured to prepare a frame for display from one or more sources (e.g., still images and/or video sequences). More particularly, the display circuitry  211  can be configured to retrieve source frames from one or more source buffers stored in memory, composite frames from the source buffers, and display the resulting frames on integrated touch screen  204 . Accordingly, the display circuitry  211  can be configured to read one or more source buffers and composite the image data to generate the output frame. Display circuitry  211  can provide various control and data signals to the display (described in more detail with respect to  FIGS.  5 A- 5 F ), via chiplets  207  (or via display chiplets  208 ), including timing signals (e.g., one or more clock signals) and pixel selection signals. The timing signals can include a pixel clock that can indicate transmission of a pixel. The data signals can include color signals (e.g., red, green, blue) for micro-LEDs  206 . The display circuitry can control integrated touch screen  204  in real-time, providing the data indicating the pixels to be displayed as the touch screen is displaying the image indicated by the frame. The interface to such an integrated touch screen  204  can be, for example, a video graphics array (VGA) interface, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a digital video interface (DVI), an LCD/LED/OLED interface, a plasma interface, or any other suitable interface. 
     The touch and display controller  212  can include touch circuitry  213  to perform touch operations. Touch circuitry  213  can include one or more touch processors, peripherals (e.g., random access memory (RAM) or other types of memory or storage, watchdog timers and the like), and a touch controller. The touch controller can include, but is not limited to, channel scan logic (e.g., implemented in programmable logic circuits or as discrete logic circuits) which can provide configuration and control for touch sensing operations by chiplets  207  (or by touch chiplets  210 ). For example, touch chiplets  210  can be configured to drive, sense and/or ground touch node electrodes depending on the mode of touch sensing operations. The mode of touch sensing can, in some examples, be determined by a scan plan stored in memory (e.g., RAM) in touch circuitry  213 . The scan plan can provide a sequence of scan events to perform during a frame. The scan plan can also include information necessary for providing control signals to and programming chiplets  207  for the specific scan event to be performed, and for analyzing data from chiplets  207  according to the specific scan event to be performed. The scan events can include, but are not limited to, a mutual capacitance scan, a self-capacitance scan, a stylus scan, touch spectral analysis scan, and a stylus spectral analysis scan. The channel scan logic or other circuitry in touch circuitry  213  can provide the stimulation signals at various frequencies and phases that can be selectively applied to the touch node electrodes of integrated touch screen  204  or used for demodulation, as described in more detail below. The touch circuitry  213  can also receive touch data from the chiplets  207  (or touch chiplets  210 ), store touch data in memory (e.g., RAM), and/or process touch data (e.g., by one or more touch processors or touch controller) to determine locations of touch and/or clean operating frequencies for touch sensing operations (e.g., spectral analysis). 
     In some examples, the channel can logic or other circuitry in touch circuitry  213  can provide control for voltage sampling operations as described herein. In some examples, the touch and display controller  212  can include sampling circuitry (voltage sampling circuitry)  215  to perform voltage sampling operations. In some such examples, sampling circuitry  215  can include one or more touch sampling processors, peripherals (e.g., random access memory (RAM) or other types of memory or storage, watchdog timers and the like), and a touch sampling controller. The touch controller can include, but is not limited to, sampling logic (e.g., implemented in programmable logic circuits or as discrete logic circuits) which can provide configuration and control for sampling operations by chiplets  207  (or by touch chiplets  210  and/or display chiplets  208 ). The sampling logic or other circuitry in sampling circuitry  215  can provide timing and control signals that can be applied to operate switches to sample one or more sampling capacitors, as described in more detail when referring to  FIGS.  5 - 7   . The sampling circuitry  215  can also receive information from the touch circuitry  213  and/or display circuitry  211  and/or from the chiplets  207  to determine a quiet time (e.g., an analog quiet time). 
     Integrated touch screen  204  can be used to derive touch data at multiple discrete locations of the touch screen, referred to herein as touch nodes. For example, integrated touch screen  204  can include touch sensing circuitry that can include a capacitive sensing medium having a plurality of electrically isolated touch node electrodes. Touch node electrodes can be coupled to chiplets  207  (or touch chiplets  210 ) for touch sensing by sensing channel circuitry. As used herein, an electrical component “coupled to” or “connected to” another electrical component encompasses a direct or indirect connection providing electrical path for communication or operation between the coupled components. Thus, for example, touch node electrodes of integrated touch screen  204  may be directly connected to chiplets  207  or indirectly connected to chiplets  207  (e.g., connected to touch chiplets  210  via display chiplets  208 ), but in either case provided an electrical path for driving and/or sensing the touch node electrodes. Labeling the conductive plates (or groups of conductive plates) used to detect touch as touch node electrodes corresponding to touch nodes (discrete locations of the touch screen) can be particularly useful when integrated touch screen  204  is viewed as capturing an “image” of touch (or “touch image”). The touch image can be a two-dimensional representation of values indicating an amount of touch detected at each touch node electrode corresponding to a touch node in integrated touch screen  204 . The pattern of touch nodes at which a touch occurred can be thought of as a touch image (e.g., a pattern of fingers touching the touch screen). In such examples, each touch node electrode in a pixelated touch screen can be sensed for the corresponding touch node represented in the touch image. 
     Host processor  220  can be connected to program storage  218  to execute instructions stored in program storage  218  (e.g., a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium). Host processor  220  can provide, for example, control and data signals so that touch and display controller  212  can generate a display image on integrated touch screen  204 , such as a display image of a user interface (UI). Host processor  220  can also provide control signals to the sampling circuitry  215  to sample one or more low-noise reference voltages for use in touch sensing operations, for example. Host processor  220  can also receive outputs from touch and display controller  212  (e.g., touch inputs from the one or more touch processors, etc.) and perform actions based on the outputs. The touch input can be used by computer programs stored in program storage  218  to perform actions that can include, but are not limited to, moving an object such as a cursor or pointer, scrolling or panning, adjusting control settings, opening a file or document, viewing a menu, making a selection, executing instructions, operating a peripheral device connected to the host device, answering a telephone call, placing a telephone call, terminating a telephone call, changing the volume or audio settings, storing information related to telephone communications such as addresses, frequently dialed numbers, received calls, missed calls, logging onto a computer or a computer network, permitting authorized individuals access to restricted areas of the computer or computer network, loading a user profile associated with a user&#39;s preferred arrangement of the computer desktop, permitting access to web content, launching a particular program, encrypting or decoding a message, and/or the like. Host processor  220  can also perform additional functions that may not be related to touch processing and display. 
     Note that one or more of the functions described herein, including the configuration and operation of chiplets, can be performed by firmware stored in memory (e.g., one of the peripherals in touch and display controller  212 ) and executed by one or more processors (in touch and display controller  212 ), or stored in program storage  218  and executed by host processor  220 . The firmware can also be stored and/or transported within any non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. In the context of this document, a “non-transitory computer-readable storage medium” can be any medium (excluding signals) that can contain or store the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus or device, a portable computer diskette (magnetic), a random access memory (RAM) (magnetic), a read-only memory (ROM) (magnetic), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) (magnetic), a portable optical disc such a CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, or DVD-RW, or flash memory such as compact flash cards, secured digital cards, USB memory devices, memory sticks, and the like. 
     The firmware can also be propagated within any transport medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. In the context of this document, a “transport medium” can be any medium that can communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The transport medium can include, but is not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, or infrared wired or wireless propagation medium. 
     It is to be understood that the computing system  200  is not limited to the components and configuration of  FIG.  2 A  but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations according to various examples. Additionally, the components of computing system  200  can be included within a single device or can be distributed between multiple devices. In some examples, PMU  214  and guard IC  216  can be integrated into a power management and guard integrated circuit. In some examples, the power management and guard integrated circuit can provide power supplies (e.g., guard referenced) and the guard signal to touch screen  204  directly rather than via touch and display IC  212 . In some examples, touch and display IC  212  can be coupled to host processor  220  directly, and a portion of touch and display IC  212  in communication with chiplets  207  can be included in an isolation well (e.g., a deep N-well isolation) referenced to the guard signal from guard IC  216 . 
     As described herein, in some examples integrated touch and display module  202  can perform touch sensing operations (e.g., self-capacitance scans) in a different power domain than in the chassis power domain. In some examples, integrated touch and display module  202  can perform non-guarded touch sensing operations (e.g., mutual capacitance scans) or display operations in the chassis power domain. 
       FIG.  2 B  illustrates an example touch sensing configuration  230  including various associated capacitances according to examples of the disclosure. In configuration  230  of  FIG.  2 B , the touch sensing circuitry of integrated touch screen  204  can be referenced to a guard ground rather than a chassis ground. Specifically, in configuration  230  of  FIG.  2 B , touch sensing circuitry (e.g., sense amplifier  250 ) in chiplet  207  (or touch chiplet  210 ) can be coupled to a touch node electrode  236  by a routing trace  258 . Chiplet  207  can be disposed or fabricated on a substrate including a guard ground plane  248  (“guard plane”), which can represent a virtual ground plane of touch chiplet  210  that is different from chassis ground  234  (also referred to herein as earth ground or device ground). In particular, stimulation source  254  (“guard source”) disposed in guard IC  216 , for example, can be referenced to chassis ground  234 , and can output a guard voltage (e.g., a guard stimulation signal, such as a square or trapezoid wave) that can establish the voltage at guard plane  248 . In this manner, the guard plane  248  acting as a guard ground for chiplet  207  can be referenced to the guard voltage. Because chiplet  207  can be mounted on a substrate including guard plane  248 , the sense amplifier in chiplet  207  can be referenced to the guard signal (and receive other guard-referenced voltages produced by PMU  214 , for example), and can be isolated from chassis ground  234  by guard plane  248 . In this way, chiplet  207  (or touch chiplet  210 ) can operate in the guard power domain, whereas the guard source  254  (e.g., in guard IC  216 ) can operate in the chassis power domain. Guard plane  248  can be any conductive material of a substrate on which chiplet  207  can be disposed or fabricated (e.g., silver, copper, gold, etc.). For example, chiplet  207  may be assembled on a printed circuit board (PCB) and may be referenced to the PCB ground plane  248  driven, during guarded self-capacitance scans, by guard source  254 . Guard source  254  can be implemented, for example, using a waveform generator (e.g., generating arbitrary waveforms, such as a square wave referenced to chassis ground  234 ) whose output can be inputted in to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Analog output from the DAC can be provided to a linear buffer (e.g., with unity or some other gain) whose output can correspond to the output of guard source  254 . 
     Additionally, guard plane  248  can be disposed between touch node electrode  236  and chassis  232  (or, more generally, chassis ground  234 ), and guard plane  248  can be disposed between a routing trace that couples touch node electrode  236  to chiplet  207  and chassis  232  (or, more generally, chassis ground  234 ). Thus, guard plane  248  can similarly isolate touch node electrode  236  and routing trace  258  that couples touch node electrode  236  to chiplet  207  from chassis ground  234 . Guard plane  248  can reduce or eliminate parasitic or stray capacitances that may exist between touch node electrode  236  and chassis ground  234 , as will be described below. Optionally, a guard plane can be included in a layer above the touch node electrodes and/or between touch node electrodes (e.g., as illustrated by guard plane  252 ) and can be referenced to the same guard voltage. Guard plane  252  can include openings corresponding to touch node electrodes to enable detection of touch activity on the touch sensor panel (or proximity activity) while guarding the touch node electrodes and routing from stray capacitances that can form due to a touch or other stray capacitances. In some examples, the material(s) out of which guard planes  248  and  252  are made can be different. For example, guard plane  252  above the touch node electrodes can be made of ITO, or another fully or partially transparent conductor), and guard planes  248  in the substrate (e.g., PCB) can be made of a different conductor, such as copper, aluminum, or other conductor that may or may not be transparent. 
     Various capacitances associated with touch and/or proximity detection using configuration  230  are also shown in  FIG.  2 B . Specifically, an object  238  (e.g., a finger) can be touching or in proximity to touch node electrode  236 . Object  238  can be grounded to earth ground  234  through capacitance  240  (e.g., C body ), which can represent a capacitance from object  238  through a user&#39;s body to earth ground  234 . Capacitance  242  (e.g., C touch ) can represent a capacitance between object  238  and touch node electrode  236 , and can be the capacitance of interest in determining how close object  238  is to touch node electrode  236 . Typically, C body    240  can be significantly larger than C touch    242  such that the equivalent series capacitance seen at touch node electrode  236  through object  238  can be approximately C touch    242 . Capacitance  242  can be measured by touch sensing circuitry (e.g., sense amplifier  250 ) included in chiplet  207  (or touch chiplet  210 ) to determine an amount of touch at touch node electrode  236  based on the sensed touch signal, for example. As shown in  FIG.  2 B , touch sensing circuitry in chiplet  207  can be referenced to guard ground (with some DC biasing provided by the chiplet  207  and/or PMU  214 ). In some examples, capacitance  244  (e.g., C p ) can be a parasitic capacitance between touch node electrode  236  and guard plane  248 . Capacitance  246  (e.g., C s ) can be a stray capacitance between routing trace  258  coupled to touch node electrode  236  and guard plane  248 , for example. In some examples, the impact of capacitances  244  and  246  on a sensed touch signal can be mitigated because guard plane  248  and touch sensing circuitry in chiplet  207  are all referenced to the virtual ground signal produced by guard source  254  during a guarded self-capacitance scan. 
     When guarded, the voltage at touch node electrode  236  and trace  258  can mirror or follow the voltage at guard plane  248 , and thereby capacitances  244  and  246  can be reduced or eliminated from the touch measurements performed by chiplet  207  (or touch chiplet  210 ). Without stray capacitances  244  and  246  affecting the touch measurements, the offset in the output signal of sense amplifier  250  (e.g., when no touch is detected at touch node electrode  236 ) can be greatly reduced or eliminated, which can increase the signal to noise ratio and/or the dynamic range of sense circuitry in chiplet  207 . This, in turn, can improve the ability of touch sensing circuitry in chiplet  207  to detect a greater range of touch at touch node electrode  236 , and to accurately detect smaller capacitances C touch    242  (and, thus, to accurately detect proximity activity at touch node electrode  236  at larger distances). Additionally, with a near-zero offset output signal from touch sensing circuitry in chiplet  207 , the effects of drift due to environmental changes (e.g., temperature changes) can be greatly reduced. For example, if the signal out of sense amplifier  250  consumes 50% of its dynamic range due to undesirable/un-guarded stray capacitances in the system, and the analog front end (AFE) gain changes by 10% due to temperature, the sense amplifier  250  output may drift by 5% and the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be limited to 26 dB. By reducing the undesirable/un-guarded stray capacitances by 20 dB, the effective SNR can be improved from 26 dB to 46 dB accordingly. 
       FIG.  2 C  illustrates an example equivalent circuit diagram of an example touch sensing configuration  256  according to examples of the disclosure. As described herein, guarding can reduce or eliminate capacitances  244  and  246  from the touch measurements performed by touch sensing circuitry in chiplet  207 . As a result, the sense amplifier  250  can simply detect C touch    242 , which can appear as a virtual mutual capacitance between object  238  and touch node electrode  236 . Specifically, object  238  can appear to be stimulated (e.g., via C body    240 ) by guard source  254 , and object  238  can have C touch    242  between it and the inverting input of sense amplifier  250 . Changes in C touch    242  can, therefore, be sensed by sense amplifier  250  as changes in the virtual mutual capacitance C touch    242  between object  238  and sense amplifier  250 . As such, the offset in the output signal of sense amplifier  250  (e.g., when no touch is detected at touch node electrode  236 ) can be greatly reduced or eliminated, as described above. As a result, sense amplifier  250  (e.g., the input stage of touch sensing circuitry of chiplet  207 ) need not support as great a dynamic input range that self-capacitance sense circuitry might otherwise need to support in circumstances/configurations that do not exhibit the virtual mutual capacitance effect described here. 
     Because the self-capacitance measurements of touch node electrodes in self-capacitance-based touch screen configurations can exhibit the virtual mutual capacitance characteristics described above, chiplet  210  can be designed with a simpler sensing architecture to support both self-capacitance measurements and mutual capacitance measurements. An example configuration of the touch sensing circuitry for chiplet  207  (or touch chiplet  210 ) is described herein with respect to  FIG.  5 A . 
     Referring back to  FIG.  2 A , integrated touch screen  204  can be integrated such that touch sensing circuit elements of the touch sensing system can be integrated with the display stack-up and some circuit elements can be shared between touch and display operations. It is noted that circuit elements are not limited to whole circuit components, such as a whole capacitor, a whole transistor, etc., but can include portions of circuitry, such as a conductive plate. 
       FIGS.  3 A- 3 B  illustrate example stack-ups of an integrated touch screen according to examples of the disclosure.  FIG.  3 A  illustrates an example stack-up of a touch screen including chiplets (or touch chiplets and display chiplets) in the visible area of the display. Integrated touch screen  300  comprises a substrate  310  (e.g., a printed circuit board) upon which chiplets  207  (or touch chiplets  210  and/or display chiplets  208 ) and micro-LEDs  206  can be mounted in touch and display circuit layer  308 . In some examples, the chiplets  207  and/or micro-LEDs  206  can be partially or fully embedded in the substrate (e.g., the components can be placed in depressions in the substrate). In some examples, the chiplets  207  can be mounted on one and/or both sides of substrate  310 . For example, some or all of the chiplets  207  can be mounted on a second side of substrate  310  (or some or all of the touch chiplets  210  and/or some or all of the display chiplets  208  can be mounted on a second side of substrate  310 ). In some examples, the chiplets can be disposed on the second side of the substrate (opposite the first side of the substrate including micro-LEDs  206 ).  FIG.  3 B  illustrates an example stack-up of a touch screen including chiplets (or touch chiplets and/or display chiplets) outside the visible area of the display. Unlike the stack-up of integrated touch screen  300 , in which chiplets  207  and micro-LEDs  206  can be mounted in touch and display circuit layer  308 , stack-up of integrated touch screen  320  can include chiplets mounted in a touch and display circuit layer  311  on a second (bottom) side of substrate  310  different than the micro-LEDs  206  mounted on a display pixel layer  318  on a first (top, visible) side of substrate  310 . In some examples, placing the chiplets on the second side of the substrate can allow for uniform spacing of the micro-LEDs and/or increased density of micro-LEDs on the first side of substrate  310 . 
     The substrate  310  can include routing traces in one or more layers to route signals between micro-LEDs  206 , chiplets  207  and touch and display controller  212 . Substrate  310  can also optionally include a guard plane  312  for guarded operation (e.g., corresponding to guard plane  248  in  FIG.  2 B ). Although illustrated on the bottom of substrate  310  in  FIG.  3 A , guard plane  312  can be formed as a layer of substrate  310  other than the bottom layer (e.g., as illustrated in  FIG.  3 B  in an internal layer of substrate  310 ). 
     After mounting micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207  in the touch and display circuit layer  308  in  FIG.  3 A  (e.g., during a pick-and-place assembly), a planarization layer (e.g., transparent epoxy) can be deposited over the micro-LEDs  206  and chiplets  207 . The planarization layer can be deposited over the micro-LEDs  206  in the display pixel layer  318  in the stack-up of  FIG.  3 B . A fully or partially transparent conductor layer  306  (e.g., ITO) can be deposited above planarized touch and display circuit layer  308  in  FIG.  3 A  or above the display pixel layer  318  in  FIG.  3 B . Conductor layer  306  can include a pattern of individual conductor plates that can be used for touch and display functions of integrated touch screen  300 . For example, individual conductor plates can be used as cathode terminals for micro-LEDs during display operations and groups of conductor plates can form touch node electrodes for touch operations. Polarizer  304  can be disposed above the transparent conductor layer  306  (optionally with another planarization layer disposed over the transparent conductor layer  306 ). Cover glass (or front crystal)  302  can be disposed over polarizer  304  and form the outer surface of integrated touch screen  300 . The stack-up of integrated touch screens  300  and/or  320  can provide numerous benefits including reduced costs (e.g., due to simplified assembly of devices including integrated touch and display module  202  and a reduced number of integrated circuits by combining touch and display functionality into integrated touch and display controller  212 ), reduced stack-up height (sharing conductors eliminates a separate touch node electrode layer; integrating chiplets  207  (or touch chiplets  210  and display chiplets  208 ) into the stack-up on the same layer with the micro-LEDs does not add to the stack-up height for  FIG.  3 A ), simplified support for guarded self-capacitance scans (by including touch circuitry  213  on integrated touch and display module  202  with a guard plane extending throughout the substrate of integrated touch and display module  202 ), and shrinking the border region around the touch screen (because routing can be done through the substrate rather than in the border regions). 
     Conductor layer  306  can include a pattern of individual conductor plates (e.g., ITO patches, as indicated). As an example, the ITO layer  306  can include a plurality of ITO patches arranged in an array (e.g., given number of rows by given number of columns). The pattern of the array of ITO patches may be a rectangular array of rectangular patches, for example, though other shapes of ITO patches and patterns can be used. Each of the ITO patches can be formed over a bank of micro-LEDs (and may therefore be referred to as ITO banks herein) and can serve as the cathode terminal for the bank of micro-LEDs during display operations. 
     As an example, ITO patches within the ITO layer  306  can be coupled together to form touch node electrodes for touch sensing operations. In some examples, ITO patches coupled to a chiplet (e.g., corresponding to one of chiplets  207 ) can be coupled using switching circuitry within the chiplet to form a touch electrode. In some examples, a group of ITO banks can be coupled to one or more display chiplets (e.g., corresponding to display chiplets  208 ), and groups of ITO banks can be coupled together using the display chiplets to form touch node electrodes for touch sensing operations. Each of the touch node electrodes formed from the groups of ITO banks can be coupled during touch operations to a touch chiplet (e.g., corresponding to one of touch chiplets  210 ). 
     The number of ITO patches in a touch node electrode within the ITO layer  306  can be selected according to the desired sensing resolution. Moreover, the number of ITO patches in a touch node may be limited by space available for chiplets, which can be a function of the density of LEDs/display pixels. In some examples, the touch data of a first resolution of touch nodes can be combined digitally to form a reduced resolution touch image. 
       FIG.  4    illustrates an example array  405  of chiplets  407  of an integrated touch screen according to examples of the disclosure. As discussed above, an integrated touch screen of an electronic device may be implemented as a material stack up (e.g., corresponding to stack ups  300  and  320  in  FIGS.  3 A- 3 B ) including chiplets (or touch chiplets and display chiplets). As shown in  FIG.  4   , the chiplets  407  may be arranged as an array  405  (e.g., a row/column array with a first number of chiplets arranged within a column and a second number of chiplets arranged within a row) above or below the touch screen substrate (e.g., in touch and display circuit layer  308  or  311  above or below substrate  310 ). While the array of chiplets  407  is depicted as being touch chiplets (e.g., corresponding to touch chiplets  210  in  FIG.  2 A ), it should be understood that, as discussed herein, display chiplets (e.g., corresponding to display chiplets  208 ) may also be provided within a same or adjacent column of the array  405 . 
     As shown, the touch chiplets  407  may each comprise exemplary touch sensing circuitry  415  configurable for detecting a touch at or near the touch panel  402  (e.g., detected via touch node electrodes (not shown)), as discussed above with reference to  FIGS.  2 A- 2 C . As discussed below, the touch sensing circuitry  415  may include or be paired with voltage sampling circuitry (not shown) configurable for sampling one or more reference voltages for referencing a respective chiplet  407 . As shown in  FIG.  4   , the chiplets  407  may be configured to receive one or more voltage supplies via voltage supply lines  430 - 432  for powering an operation (e.g., touch sensing) of each of the chiplets  407 . In some examples, the voltage supplies powering voltage supply lines  430 - 432  may be generated in the power management unit (e.g., PMU  214  in  FIG.  2 A ). For example, three voltage supply lines  430 - 432  may provide voltage signals VSS, VDD 2 , and VDD 1 , respectively, to each chiplet  407  within the array  405 . Accordingly, the voltage supply lines  430 - 432  may form a voltage supply network for the plurality of chiplets  407  described herein. As shown, each chiplet may be provided with an electrical trace electrically coupled between the voltage supply network and touch sensing circuitry  415 . For example, referring to chiplet  407 A of the plurality of chiplets  407 , electrical trace  435  may couple touch sensing circuitry  415  to voltage line  430  (e.g., VSS), electrical trace  436  may couple touch sensing circuitry  415  to voltage line  431  (e.g., VDD 2 ), and electrical trace  437  may couple touch sensing circuitry  415  to voltage line  432  (e.g., VDD 1 ). In some examples, capacitances collected/stored via capacitors  409  (e.g., C p1 -C p3 ) can be parasitic capacitances between each of the voltage supply lines  430 - 432  of the voltage supply network and the touch sensing circuitry  415 . In some examples, the impact of parasitic capacitances  409  on a sensed touch signal can be mitigated using voltage sampling circuitry (not shown), as discussed in detail below. 
     It should be understood that the electrical connections (e.g., traces  435 - 437 ) are exemplary and that other electrical connection techniques may be employed. It should also be understood that, for a respective chiplet, the plurality of supply voltage lines may electrically couple to touch sensing circuitry  415  via additional circuit components (e.g., in place of the capacitors shown (e.g., capacitors  409 )), such as input resistors (not shown). For example, discrete capacitors and/or resistors may be electrically coupled between the plurality of supply voltage lines  430 - 432  and the input to touch sensing circuitry  415 . It should also be noted that, if display chiplets (e.g., display chiplets  208 ) are also provided within the array  405 , the display chiplets may be electrically connected to the voltage supply network via the exemplary configuration shown (or via an alternative configuration, as needed or desired). It should also be understood that parasitic capacitors  409  could be alternatively modeled to include other parasitic components, such as parasitic resistors, for example. 
     As discussed above, the touch sensing circuitry  415  (and/or display circuitry) of each of the chiplets  407  may include or be paired with voltage sampling circuitry for sampling one or more reference voltages to be used by the touch sensing circuitry. As shown in  FIG.  4   , the touch sensing circuitry  415  may include a sense amplifier (e.g., corresponding to sense amplifier  250 ). As discussed previously as an example when referring to  FIGS.  2 A- 2 C , the sense amplifier (e.g.,  250  in  FIG.  2 B ) in the chiplet (e.g., chiplet  207 ) can be referenced to the guard signal of the guard ground plane  248  (and receive other guard-referenced voltages produced by PMU  214 , for example). As discussed, referencing the sense amplifier (and thus the chiplet) to the guard signal (and thus a ground reference different from the chassis ground) can reduce or eliminate parasitic or stray capacitances (e.g.,  244  and  246  in  FIG.  2 B ) from the touch measurements performed by touch sensing circuitry in the chiplet, and may thus improve touch sensing detection at the touch panel. Despite such improvements, the touch sensing circuitry (and/or display circuitry) may still be susceptible to interference events occurring internally or externally to the device. For example, interference events can include supply and/or ground voltage noise (e.g., from the supply lines VDD 1 , VDD 2  and/or VSS), ripple or bounce from power management unit (e.g., PMU  214 ), off-chip analog buffer, micro-driver on-chip supply current noise/bounce (i.e., chiplet supply current noise/bounce), backplane noise/interferer coupling at the sense amplifier input (e.g., at the non-inverting input of the sense amplifier  250 ), among other possibilities. These interference events can degrade the amplifier SNR and thus degrade sensor performance (e.g., touch sensing, display), and can also cause adverse system effects, such as power supply rejection (PSR) and decreased PSR temperature drift and noise performance. Further, as shown in  FIG.  4   , for example, because the plurality of chiplets  407  share the same voltage supply network ( 430 - 432 ), individual operations/actions performed by individual chiplets (e.g.,  407 A), as well as localized noise, bounces, etc. on the individual chiplets, can affect other neighboring chiplets through crosstalk. As the crosstalk is increased among the plurality of chiplets  407 , the performance of one, some, or all chiplets  407  can be degraded. As discussed below, configuring the chiplets with voltage sampling circuitry can reduce or eliminate (and/or otherwise prevent) the above-described impacts of interference events on chiplet sensing performance. 
       FIGS.  5 A- 5 E  illustrate examples of sampling circuitry  502   a  and  502   b  and sensing circuitry  515  for a chiplet  507  according to examples of the disclosure. As an example, in  FIG.  5 A , the exemplary chiplet  507  optionally corresponds to one of a plurality of chiplets arranged in an array (e.g., corresponding to chiplet  207  in  FIGS.  2 A- 2 B  or chiplets  407  of the array  405  of  FIG.  4   ). Accordingly, the plurality of chiplets may comprise the same or similar circuitry shown in  FIGS.  5 A- 5 E , which is described in detail below. For example, chiplet  507  can include an analog front end including sensing circuitry  515  (e.g., a single-ended charge-to-voltage conversion amplifier including a feedback circuit), a single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit  512 , a mixer/demodulator  514 , and an analog-to-digital converter  516 . The analog front end of the chiplet  507  (and optionally the plurality of chiplets  407 ) may be coupled to one or more touch node electrodes (e.g., touch node electrode  236 ) of one or more regions of the integrated touch screen (e.g., via input pin/circuitry labeled INPUT in  FIG.  5 A ), where the one or more touch node electrodes can be configured to operate in a touch sensing configuration. Although chiplet  507  illustrates a single input pin, it is understood that chiplet  507  can include multiple pins corresponding to conductive segments coupled together to form a touch node electrode (e.g., optionally coupled together using circuitry within chiplet  507 , not shown). 
     Additionally, chiplet  507  can include sampling circuitry  502   a  and/or  502   b  to provide a stable reference voltage to sensing circuitry  515  (and optionally to single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit  512 ) and/or analog-to-digital converter  516 , respectively for sensing operations (e.g., for detecting a touch and/or proximity event using sensing circuitry  515 ). The reference inputs for the ADC  516  can be generated using ADC buffer  506 , analog multiplexer (MUX)  528  and/or switched-capacitor circuitry  538 . Additional details of chiplet  507  and sampling circuitry  502   a  and/or  502   b  are described below. 
     As discussed herein, a touch node electrode (e.g., touch node electrode  236 ) can have an inherent self-capacitance to ground associated with it, and also an additional self-capacitance to ground that is formed when an object, such as finger  238 , is in proximity to or touching the electrode. Referring back to  FIG.  2 B , the total self-capacitance to ground of touch node electrode  236  can be illustrated as capacitance  242 . Chiplet  507  can include a capacitance sensing circuit  515  including an operational amplifier  502  (also referred to herein as a sense amplifier) and a feedback network including a feedback capacitor  503  (e.g., corresponding to the touch circuitry  415  of touch chiplet  407 A). It should be understood that other capacitance sensing circuit configurations may be employed, such as those including a feedback resistor or switched capacitor resistor as well as a feedback capacitor. A touch node electrode to be sensed can be coupled to the inverting input (−) of operational amplifier  502 . For self-capacitance sensing, an AC voltage source and DC biasing can be coupled to the non-inverting input (+) of operational amplifier  502 . The capacitance sensing circuit can be configured to sense changes in the total self-capacitance of the touch node electrode induced by a finger or object either touching or in proximity to the touch sensitive surface opposite the touch node electrode to be sensed. As discussed above, in some examples, capacitances stored/collected via capacitors  509  (e.g., C p1 -C p3 ) can be parasitic capacitances between the supply lines  530 - 532  of the voltage supply network and the touch sensing circuitry  515  (e.g., input of the sense amplifier  502 ). Output of operational amplifier  502  can be demodulated by mixer  514 , which can receive a demodulation signal matching the AC voltage source applied to the non-inverting input of operational amplifier  502 , as an example. 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  5 A , the sense amplifier  502  is optionally a single-ended charge-to-voltage conversion amplifier (e.g., C2V) and the mixer  514  is optionally a differential mixer, such that the capacitance sensing circuit further comprises a single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit (e.g., S2D)  512 . As such, the output of the sense amplifier  502  is coupled to the input of the single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit  512 , and differential outputs of the single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit  512  are coupled to differential inputs of the differential mixer  514 , as shown. The demodulated output of the mixer  514  can be converted to a digital signal by ADC  516 . As an example, the digital signal output by the ADC  516  can be filtered by one or more filters (e.g., decimation filters), described in more detail with reference to  FIG.  5 B , optionally including cascaded integrator-comb filter, finite input response filter, or other filters. In some examples, an anti-aliasing filter (or other digital filters described above) can be implemented as filters earlier in the signal chain and in the analog domain (e.g., prior to analog-to-digital conversion such as between mixer  514  and ADC  516 ). The filtered digital data can be output using a data buffer (not shown) and sent to the touch and display controller for touch processing (e.g., by one or more touch processors, discrete logic network, hardware accelerator, etc.) to determine the presence of a proximity or touch event. Although described above for self-capacitance sensing, it should be understood that the sensing channel of chiplet  507  can be used for mutual capacitance sensing. 
     As mentioned above, the touch sensing circuitry (i.e., capacitance sensing circuit) may be provided with voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  and/or  502   b  for minimizing effects of interference events both locally and globally across a given plurality of chiplets (e.g., the plurality of chiplets  407  in  FIG.  4   ). As shown in  FIG.  5 A , one or more of the circuit components of the capacitance sensing circuit may be referenced to one or more reference voltages. As shown as an example, the sense amplifier  502  and the single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit  512  may be referenced to a first reference voltage (e.g., VCM) via a first reference voltage node/pin  540 , and the ADC  516  may be referenced to a second reference voltage (e.g., VREF_ADC) via a second reference voltage node/pin  542 . As discussed above, permanent electrical connections to one or more reference voltage pins/nodes (e.g.,  540 ,  542 ) may allow noise, bounce, ripple, etc. caused by one or more interference events to be amplified by the circuit components of the capacitance sensing circuit (e.g., by the sense amplifier  502 ), which can degrade chiplet performance (e.g., by degrading system SNR), and/or cause interference between two or more chiplets (e.g., by increasing crosstalk). Accordingly, voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  and/or  502   b  may be provided between the reference voltage nodes (e.g., reference voltage input of the chiplet) and the applicable circuit components within the touch sensing circuit that use the reference voltage. As shown, the voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  and/or  502   b  may include one or more sampling/reference capacitors and one or more switches. 
     As shown in  FIG.  5 A , in some examples, the sense amplifier  502  may be provided with first voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  comprising a first switch  520  (also labeled S 0 ) and three sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C (also labeled C cm1 -C cm3 ). The first switch  520  may be electrically coupled between the non-inverting input of the sense amplifier  502  and the first reference voltage node  540 . It should be understood that a capacitance of each of the sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C may have the equal or substantially equal capacitance values in some examples, but that in other examples, the capacitance values may be unequal. For example, in some examples in which the capacitance values are unequal, the three sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C may be provided with capacitance values to form a respective ratio (e.g., C cm1 :C cm2 :C cm3 ). In some such examples, the respective ratio of the three sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C may be matched to the ratio of the parasitic capacitors  509  (e.g., the ratio of C p1 :C p2 :C p3 ). Such ratio matching may minimize the impacts of supply and ground noise coupled from supply line VDD 1  ( 532 ), supply line VDD 2  ( 531 ) and/or ground VSS ( 530 ) to the inverting node of sense amplifier  502  through the parasitic capacitors  509 . In some examples, as shown, the three sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C may each be coupled to the non-inverting input of the sense amplifier. For reference, the coupling can be via an intermediate common node  524  (also referred to herein as “IC node” or “first sampling node”). The voltage at the intermediate common node  524  can be represented in  FIG.  5 A  as V CMINT . The voltage supply lines  530 - 532  (e.g., corresponding to voltage supply lines  430 - 432 ) may also be coupled to the sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C, such that the first sampling capacitor  510 A electrically couples the supply voltage node VDD 1  to the IC node  524 , the second sampling capacitor  510 B electrically couples the supply voltage node VDD 2  to the IC node  524 , and the third sampling capacitor  510 C electrically couples the supply voltage node VSS to the IC node  524 . In some examples, the intermediate common node  524  may be shared between the non-inverting input of the sense amplifier  502  and a second input of the S2D circuit  512 , such that a voltage shared by the sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C serves as the reference for both the sense amplifier  502  and the S2D circuit  512 . As mentioned above, the voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  may prevent or reduce the likelihood of noise and other disturbances being amplified within the chiplet  507 . As an example, the first switch  520  may be configured to be opened at certain times to prevent voltage fluctuations at the IC node  524  caused by interference picked up at the first reference voltage node  540 , as discussed below. 
     As shown in  FIG.  5 A , in some examples, second voltage sampling circuitry  502   b  comprising a second switch  522  (e.g., S 0 ) and a sampling capacitor  511  (e.g., C ref ) can be used for the voltage reference for the ADC  516 . In such examples, the second switch  522  may be electrically coupled between the reference input of the ADC  516  (e.g., VREF P ) and the second reference voltage node  542 . The reference input of the ADC and the second reference voltage node  542  may be separated by additional circuitry including ADC buffer  506 , analog multiplexer (MUX)  528  and/or switched-capacitor circuitry  538 . In some examples, analog MUX  528  includes two output ports electrically coupled to the switched-capacitor circuitry  538 . In some examples, switch-capacitor circuitry  538  may be provided between the analog MUX  528 /buffer  506  and the reference inputs of the ADC  516 , where the switch-capacitor circuitry  538  includes a plurality of switches (labeled S 1 , S 2 ) and a plurality of capacitors (labeled C dac1  and C dac2 ). In such examples, analog MUX  528  may be controlled by an output of the ADC  516  (e.g., via output circuitry (not shown) electrically coupled to a selection input for analog MUX  528 ) for controlling a voltage sampled onto Ca dac1  and Ca dac2 , respectively. For example, when analog MUX  528  receives a digital high signal from the output of ADC  516 , during a first phase, analog MUX  528  optionally causes switches S 1  to close (e.g., with switches S 2  open) to sample ground (e.g., VSS) onto Ca dac2 , and to sample the reference voltage (e.g., VREF_ADC) onto Ca dac1 . Then, during a second phase, analog MUX optionally causes switches S 2  to close (e.g., with switches S 1  open) to supply the reference voltage to the positive reference pin (e.g., VREF P ) of ADC  516  and ground to the negative reference pin (e.g., VREF N ) of ADC 516 . Additionally or alternatively, during the first phase, when analog MUX  528  receives a digital low signal from the output of ADC  516 , analog MUX  528  optionally causes switches S 1  to close to sample ground (e.g., VSS) onto C dac1 , and to sample the reference voltage onto Ca dac2 . Then, during the second phase, analog MUX optionally causes switches S 2  to close to supply the reference voltage to the negative reference pin (e.g., VREF N ) of ADC  516  and ground to the positive reference pin (e.g., VREF P ) of ADC  516 . 
     Additionally, as shown, the sampling capacitor  511  may be electrically coupled between the ADC buffer  506  and the voltage supply line  530  (VSS). During sampling, the sampling capacitor  511  can charge to a voltage corresponding to the second reference voltage node  542 . As shown, a sampling node  526  also referred to herein as a “second sampling node” with a voltage V REF_sample  relative to VSS may represent a shared node between the second switch  522 , the sampling capacitor  511  and the input of the ADC buffer  506 , such that a voltage of the sampling capacitor  511  can serve as the reference voltage for the ADC  516 . As mentioned above, the voltage sampling circuitry  502   b  may prevent or reduce the likelihood of noise and other disturbances being amplified within the chiplet  507 . As an example, the second switch  522  may be configured to be opened at certain times to prevent voltage fluctuations at the sampling node  526  caused by interference picked up at the second reference voltage node  542 , as discussed below. 
     As outlined above, the touch sensing circuitry  515  of the chiplet  507  may be provided with sampling circuitry  502   a  including one or more switches (e.g.,  520 ,  522 ) and one or more sampling capacitors (e.g.,  510 A- 510 C,  511 ). In some examples, the touch sensing circuitry  515  may be configurable to perform a touch scan in which the touch sensing circuitry  515  may be configured to sense changes in the total self-capacitance of a touch node electrode induced by a finger or object either touching or in proximity to the touch sensitive surface opposite the touch node electrode to be sensed. In some examples, prior to the touch scan by the capacitance sensing circuit  515 , the first and/or the second reference voltage nodes  540  and  542  may be sampled (e.g., while switches  520  and/or  522  are closed) to obtain a first and a second reference voltages for the sense amplifier  502 , S2D circuit  512 , and/or the ADC  516 . It should be understood that the first and the second reference voltage nodes may be sampled concurrently or sequentially (e.g., in parallel or in series). For example, the first reference voltage node  540  may be sampled before the second reference voltage node  542 , or vice versa. 
     As shown, the first switch  520  may electrically couple the first reference voltage node  540  to the first sampling node  524  shared by the sense amplifier  502  and the S2D circuit  512  or decouple the first reference voltage node  540  from the first sampling node  524 . The second switch  522  may electrically couple the second reference voltage node  542  to the second sampling node  526  coupled to the ADC buffer  506  (and thus the ADC  516 ) or decouple the second reference voltage node  542  from the second sampling node  526 . For example, during an analog quiet time (e.g., during a period of relatively low system activity, when a touch scan is not being performed and/or the display is not being updated/refreshed) in which the supply ripple and bounce are minimal), the first and the second switches  520  and  522  may be closed such that the first reference voltage node  540  and the second reference voltage node  542  are electrically coupled to the first sampling node  524  and the second sampling node  526 , respectively. The first reference voltage node  540  and the second reference voltage node  542  may then each be sampled by charging the sampling capacitors, such that a value (e.g., VCM, VREF_ADC) of each of the first and the second reference voltage nodes is stored across the sampling capacitors. For example, a value of the first reference voltage (e.g., VCM) may be stored across the parallel combination of the sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C during sampling, and a value of the second reference voltage (e.g., VREF_ADC) may be stored across the sampling capacitor  511  during sampling. 
     After sampling, the first and the second switches  520  and  522  may then be opened, as shown in  FIG.  5 A , to disconnect the sampling capacitors from the reference voltage nodes for touch sensing operation. As a result, the first and the second reference voltages stored in the sampling capacitors  510 A- 511  are relatively or absolutely immune to voltage fluctuations at the reference voltage nodes to due external or device-internal noise sources. In this way, during the touch scan, the sense amplifier  502 , the S2D circuit  512 , and the ADC  516  are each referenced to a stable signal that is immune or less susceptible to noise, bounce, ripple, etc. that would otherwise be picked up by the first and the second reference nodes  540  and  542  (e.g., if first and second switches  520  and  522 , respectively, were closed). 
     The voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  and  502   b  may help mitigate the effects of interference events originating locally on the chiplets. As an example, interference events (e.g., PSR, PSR temperature drift, noise, etc.) from the voltage supply network (e.g., supply lines  530 - 532 ) may be minimized by matching the sense amplifier  502  sampling capacitor distribution (e.g., capacitors  510 A- 510 C) with the sense amplifier  502  parasitic capacitor distribution (e.g., capacitors  509 ). As shown in  FIG.  5 A , the sense amplifier  502  and S2D circuit  512  reference voltages (e.g., VCM) may be sampled with respect to the supply line voltages VDD 1 , VDD 2 , and VSS, via sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C, respectively. Sampling the first reference voltage node  540  (e.g., resulting in V CMINT ) ties the first reference voltage V CMINT  to the supply lines  530 - 532 , such that supply (e.g., from VDD 1 ) and/or ground (e.g., from VSS) bounce, ripple, noise, etc. are converted to a common mode voltage fluctuation (e.g., common to the non-inverting and inverting inputs of the sense amplifier  502 ) to the sense amplifier  502  and the S2D circuit  512 . As such, any bounce, ripple, noise, etc. at any of the supply lines  530 - 532  is converted to a voltage change (i.e., a voltage increase or decrease) at the first sampling node  524 , but because the first sampling node  524  is shared by the sense amplifier  502  and the S2D circuit  512 , the voltage change is thus the same with respect to both the sense amplifier  502  and the S2D circuit  512 . In this way, the outputs of the sense amplifier  502  and S2D circuit  512  do not change (or do not significantly change) in response to voltage fluctuations received at the supply lines  530 - 532 . 
     Additionally, the ADC  516  reference voltage (e.g., VREF_ADC) may be sampled with respect to the supply line voltage VSS, via sampling capacitor  511 , as shown. Sampling the second reference voltage node  542  (e.g., resulting in VREF_sample) ties the second reference voltage VREF_sample to the supply line  532  (VSS), such that the resultant ADC reference is a value approximately equal to VREF_sample−VSS. As such, any bounce, ripple, noise, etc. at the supply line  532  is converted to a simple voltage change (e.g., an increase or decrease in the value of VSS in the previous equation), which allows an accurate reference voltage to be maintained for the ADC  516 . In this way, the differential output of the ADC  516  does not change (or changes less than a predefined threshold) in response to voltage fluctuations received at the supply line  532 . 
     As discussed above, in some examples, the chiplet  507  may be one of a plurality of chiplets that can be arranged in an array within the integrated touch screen (e.g., as shown previously in  FIG.  4   ). The plurality of chiplets may be configured to share one or more of the reference voltages (e.g., VCM and VREF_ADC) via shared reference voltage nodes (e.g.,  540  and  542 ). As described above, because the one or more reference voltage nodes are common to the plurality of chiplets, effects of interference events (e.g., noise, bounce, ripple, etc.) may be amplified across one or more chiplets of the plurality of chiplets, increasing crosstalk and thus degrading chiplet performance. The voltage sampling circuitry  502   a  and  502   b  outlined above may localize on-chip interference events, such that noise, bounce, ripple, etc. occurring at one chiplet does not interact with and/or affect the performance or operations of another chiplet. For example, after sampling the first and the second reference voltages (e.g., VCM and VREF_ADC) during the analog quiet period, the first and the second switches  520  and  522  may be opened, as discussed above. It is understood that, in such examples, each chiplet of the plurality of chiplets may comprise the voltage sampling circuitry outlined above. The opening of the first and the second switches  520  and  522  effectively breaks the commonality among all the reference voltage nodes shared by the plurality of chiplets. In this way, any noise, bounce, ripple, etc. occurring at one chiplet can be isolated and thus prevented from being transferred to or amplified by another neighboring chiplet. Further, because each chiplet possesses its own low-noise reference voltages (e.g., stored on the sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C,  511 ), and because the shared reference voltage nodes are disconnected, each chiplet may perform its own unique operations (e.g., touch sensing, display, etc.) with reduced or without potential interference phenomena, such as crosstalk. 
     Thus, one advantage of the voltage sampling circuitry is that impacts of interference events external to a chiplet may be minimized or prevented during an operation of the chiplet. Another advantage is that a low-noise steady reference signal may be supplied to one or more electrical components of a chiplet for use in performing a given operation. Another advantage is that sensing information (e.g., touch, ambient light, temperature) may be effectively and reliably captured for the electronic device using the sampled low-noise reference signal. An additional advantage is that the impacts of interference events local to a first chiplet may be minimized or prevented from affecting a second chiplet neighboring the first chiplet. Another advantage of the voltage sampling circuitry is that cross talk among a plurality of chiplets may be reduced by the disconnecting of common reference voltage nodes. An additional advantage is that sensor power supply rejection, power supply rejection temperature, and noise performance of a chiplet may be improved. 
     In some examples, thermal drift and/or other noise in measurements by a sense amplifier can be reduced or eliminated using a modified demodulation signal.  FIG.  5 B  illustrates another example of chiplet  507  including sensing circuitry (e.g., corresponding to sensing circuitry  515  in  FIG.  5 A ) and demodulation circuitry for sensing according to examples of the disclosure. It should be understood that, in some examples, chiplet  507  in  FIG.  5 B  may comprise a plurality of the same or similar circuit components shown in  FIG.  5 A  and discussed above. For example, chiplet  507  in  FIG.  5 B  can include a sense amplifier  502  (e.g., corresponding to sense amplifier  502  in  FIG.  5 A ), an S2D circuit  512  (e.g., corresponding to S2D circuit  512  in  FIG.  5 A ), analog demodulator  514  (e.g., corresponding to mixer  514  in  FIG.  5 A ), and ADC  516  (e.g., corresponding to ADC  516  in  FIG.  5 A ). As described herein, in some examples, the demodulation and analog-to-digital conversion can be differential operations as shown. In some examples, the demodulation and analog-to-digital conversion can be single ended (e.g., omitting the S2D circuit  512 ). In some examples, ADC  516  can be a delta-sigma ADC, optionally implemented with a second order, single-bit cascade of integrators with feed forward (CIFF) architecture. 
       FIG.  5 B  also illustrates an example C2V output waveform  561  representing the output of C2V circuit  502 . As shown, the C2V output waveform  561  includes a settled period and an unsettled period. For example, during the unsettled period the output of the C2V may be nonlinear as it rises (or falls) to the settled value. As a result, continuous sampling of the output of the C2V circuit  502  may include unsettled touch samples and may represent noise in the touch signal detected by sense amplifier  502  (e.g., in the operating range of 100-400 KHz). In some such examples, the noise present in the C2V output signal  561  may be amplified by the spectral response of the output signal  561 . For example, odd harmonics, such as the third harmonic, may be detectable in the spectral response of the output signal  561 , which may produce false positive detections of touch. 
     Accordingly, in some examples, the demodulation signal used for demodulation can be modified (compared with the stimulation signal) to reduce the noise in measurements by the C2V circuit  502 . For example, a signal generation circuit (not shown) in the chiplet  507  or in touch and display IC  212  can be configured to generate a demodulation signal for analog demodulator  514 . In some examples, the demodulated signal can be modified using variable gating control to reduced noise. For example,  FIG.  5 B  illustrates a gated square wave  560  that zeros out the portions of the C2V output signal  561  corresponding to the unsettled period and passes the portions of the C2V output signal  561  corresponding to the settled period. In contrast, the stimulation applied to the touch electrodes can be a standard square wave (e.g., alternating between a high and a low value). As shown, the gated square wave  560  can effectively exclude touch signal samples from the unsettled portion in C2V output signal  561 , thereby, effectively excluding this noise from the resultant touch signal. Excluding samples of the unsettled portion can reduce thermal drift in the touch signal as the samples in the excluded portion are more susceptible to drift than samples in the settled portion. 
     Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, variable gating control, may adjust the demodulation frequency response of the C2V output signal  561 . For example, application of the gated square wave  560  at the analog demodulator  514  may reduce the harmonic response of the demodulation signal. For example, application of the gated square wave  560  having the 33.3% duty cycle may cancel out the third harmonic of the spectral response of the output signal  561 , which may effectively reduce or eliminate noise that may have been detected by sense amplifier  502  due to a noise aggressor (e.g., an interference source), at or near the third harmonic (e.g., from AC charging, or other noise sources). Thus, the variable gating control may be used to tune the demodulation signal to achieve the desired suppression of noise from certain frequency bands (e.g., at harmonics of the touch signal), thereby improving touch sensing of chiplet  507 . It should be understood that although a 33.3% duty cycle is described above, other suitable duty cycles can be used to achieve the desire spectral response. Additionally or alternatively, as described herein, a decimation filter (e.g., including a finite impulse response filter) can be further used to window the demodulated output, and further suppress frequencies that may include noise (e.g., outside of the frequencies of interest for touch sensing). Alternatively, the window can be applied directly to the analog demodulator  514  to perform the windowing in the analog domain. 
       FIG.  5 C  illustrates example harmonic responses for demodulation using a square wave, a gated square wave using variable gating control, and a windowed, gated square wave according to examples of the disclosure. As shown, for a square demodulation signal without gating and/or windowing, the harmonic response includes odd harmonics. However, with variable gating control, odd harmonics (e.g., the third harmonic) can be suppressed. Furthermore, with windowing, additional frequency content can be suppressed. For example, frequency content at the fundamental (and within a narrow band around the fundamental) can be passed, but content at the second, third and fourth harmonics (and therebetween) can be further suppressed. 
     Referring back to  FIG.  5 B , chiplet  507  may further comprise a decimation filter  550  electrically coupled to the output of ADC  516 . In some examples, the decimation filter  550  may be configured to filter and downsample the digital output data (e.g., a 4-bit signal, a 6-bit signal, a 12-bit signal, a 16-bit signal, a 32-bit signal, etc.) of the ADC  516  for touch processing, as previously described with reference to  FIG.  5 A . In some examples, decimation filter  550  may be implemented in two cascaded stages including a first decimation filter  551  and a second decimation filter  552 , as shown in  FIG.  5 B . The output of decimation filter  550  may be electrically coupled to data storage configured to store the output of decimation filter  550  and/or may be transmitted to the touch and display IC  212 . 
     In some examples, the decimation filter  550  may be configurable to operate in one of two modes controlled by the touch and display controller (e.g., corresponding to touch and display IC  212  in  FIG.  2    (e.g., specifically by touch circuitry  213 )). For example, in a window mode, the decimation filter  550  can be configured to receive the digital output of the ADC  516 , where the digital output corresponds to the output of sense amplifier  502  that has been transmitted through the S2D circuit  512  and demodulation circuitry with the analog demodulator enabled. Additionally or alternatively, in a digital demodulation mode, the decimation filter  550  can be configured to receive the digital output of the ADC  516 , where the digital output corresponds to the output of sense amplifier  502  that has been transmitted through the S2D circuit  512  and demodulation circuitry with the analog demodulator bypassed. In some examples, decimation filter  550  may include the functionality of an area multiplier (e.g., performing signed binary multiplication). Traditionally, area multipliers may be large, requiring N 2  full adders for N number of bits of data, which can occupy significant portions of chip space on an already spatially limited chip. As discussed in detail below, providing decimation filter  550  in two cascaded stages optionally reduces the hardware needed to implement an area multiplier, thereby improving space optimization of chiplet  507 . 
       FIG.  5 D  illustrates example circuitry of the first decimation filter  551  (e.g., the first stage) of the decimation filter  550  according to examples of the disclosure. As mentioned above, decimation filter  550  of  FIG.  5 B  may be implemented in two cascaded stages. 
     In some examples, the first decimation filter  551  is optionally a cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) filter implemented in the first stage of decimation filter  550  (e.g., a third order CIC filter). In some examples, first decimation filter  551  may be provided with a configurable decimation rate/factor M (e.g., the ratio of the input rate to the output rate). As shown in  FIG.  5 D , the first decimation filter  551  comprises one or more integrator and comb filter pairs. For example, as shown, during the integrator stages  558 , the digital output  575  of ADC  516  is optionally processed through one or more cascaded integrators, which may utilize one or more addition circuits  564  and one or more delay circuits  565 . Following the integrator stages  558 , the output of the one or more integrators is optionally fed through a down-sampler  568  which decimates (e.g., down-samples) the result using OSR (over sampling rate) signal and maintains every Mth sample. 
     As shown in  FIG.  5 D , following the down-sampler  568 , the digital output is optionally passed through one or more comb circuits of comb stages  559  (e.g., equal in number to the one or more integrator stages). In some examples, each of the comb stages  559  can include a subtraction circuit and a delay circuit, such that each comb can subtract a delayed input sample (e.g., at  567 ) from the current input sample (e.g., at  566 ). As shown, each output  576  of the comb circuits in comb stages  559 , may be sent to the second decimation filter  552 , as discussed in detail below. 
       FIG.  5 E  illustrates example circuitry of the second decimation filter  552  of the decimation filter  550  according to examples of the disclosure. In some examples, the second decimation filter  552  is optionally a cascaded integrator-comb filter (CIC filter), comprising one or more integrator and comb filter pairs as in  FIG.  5 D , following the first stage. In some examples, the second decimation filter  552  is optionally a finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) (e.g., a second order FIR filter), following the first stage. In some examples, second decimation filter  552  may be provided with a configurable decimation rate/factor M (e.g., the ratio of the input rate to the output rate). 
     As shown in  FIG.  5 E , the second decimation filter  552  can perform a multiplication operation with the filter coefficients. However, to reduce the required hardware, partial sums are used to implement the multiplication instead of an area multiplier. In some examples, the second decimation filter  552  can generate a plurality of partial sums corresponding to intermediate results of multiplication between a first number (e.g., an X-bit number) and a second number (e.g., a Y-bit number). In the example of  FIGS.  5 E , the first number is optionally a 16-bit number and the second number is optionally a 16-bit number, resulting in a 32-bit product. For example, as shown, second decimation filter  552  may comprise a serial shift register (e.g., SREG)  569  configured to receive the output data (labeled CIC 3 _OUT)  576  from first decimation filter  551  upon receiving a load enable signal (e.g., IN_LD_EN). As described herein, to further reduce the amount and complexity of the hardware for signed binary multiplication, the output of the first decimation filter  551  and the input to the second decimation filter  552  (e.g., in the form of output data  576 ) can be augmented with sign bits. As shown in  FIG.  5 E  for a 32-bit product (resulting from the 16-bit input and the 16-bit filter coefficients), the 16-bit input to the second decimation filter can be augmented with an additional 16-bits representing the sign value for the input (e.g.,  16  additional registers for SREG  569 ). For example, when CIC 3 _OUT is a positive number, SIGN EXTEND can be a 16-bit value of “O”, whereas when CIC 3 _OUT is a negative number, SIGN EXTEND can be a 16-bit value of “1”. At the shift register  569  input (labeled DATA), the CIC 3 _OUT data signal  576  may be concatenated with signal SIGN EXTEND to sign extend the CIC 3 _OUT data signal  576  to be 32-bits wide (e.g., as indicated by the 32-bit output of shift register  569 ), such that CIC 3 _OUT forms the 16 least significant bits (LSB) of the output signal SO and SIGN EXTEND forms the 16 most significant bits (MSB) of the output signal SO. In some examples, shift register  569  may store the concatenation of the output received from first decimator  551  and extended sign bits SIGN EXTEND. In some examples, upon each falling edge of clock signal  578  (e.g., FS), shift register  569  may shift the SREG contents (e.g., the concatenation) stored in shift register  569  by 1 bit from the LSB position to the MSB position per cycle of clock signal  578 . In some examples, after the shift by shift register  569 , the LSB position of the contents of shift register  569  includes a value of zero. 
     As shown in  FIG.  5 E , second decimation filter  552  is provided with gating functionality via AND gate  570 . For example, AND gate  570  may perform an AND operation between an output of shift register  569  and a filter coefficient bit  579  (e.g., FC_BIT). In some examples, filter coefficient bit  579  can be supplied from the host device (e.g., supplied serially by host processor  220  or touch and display IC  212  in  FIG.  2   ), which thereby can diminish the need for local storage in second decimation filter  552  (and potentially further reduces space constrains for the chiplet by reducing memory requirements). In some examples, the filter coefficient bits  579  can be locally stored in the chiplet. In some examples, when the corresponding filter coefficient bit  579  (e.g., FC_BIT) is set high (e.g., resulting in an AND operation with “1” at AND gate  570 ), each partial sum of the product of the output of SREG  569  and a filter coefficient bit can be accumulated by addition circuits  571  and accumulator circuit  572 , until the partial sums are all added together for each of the filter coefficient bits (e.g.,  16  partial sums). The final accumulated sum (e.g., SUM) may be stored in output register  573 , which optionally sends the now filtered output data  577  (e.g., RESULT) to data storage on the chiplet or to the touch and display IC  212 . 
     The filtered data stored by the chiplet and/or send to the touch and display IC  212  can be processed (e.g., by one or more touch processors, discrete logic network, hardware accelerator, etc.) to determine a touch or proximity event (e.g., at the touch node corresponding to the chiplet). Thus, as outlined above, decimation filter  550 , implemented in two cascaded stages comprising first decimation filter  551  and second decimation filter  552 , enable efficient filtering and downsampling of digital sense data for determining the presence of touch. The first decimation stage (e.g., with a decimation ratio M) can provide M clock cycles available for a multiplication operation in the second decimation stage. When M is equivalent to the number of multiplier bits, then the area multiplier can be replaced with a more economical shift and add multiplier (which requires M clocks) and the coefficients of the filter can be serialized into a stream of M bit as described herein. Thus, as discussed above, providing decimation filter  550  as a cascade of the first decimation filter  551  and second decimation filter  552  simplifies the overall multiplier architecture by replacing a conventional area multiplier architecture with a more economical shift and add multiplier, thereby reducing the required area for implementing the decimator on chiplet  507  (e.g., using N adders circuits instead of N 2  adder circuits). Additionally, for the signed binary multiplication discussed above and shown in  FIGS.  5 D- 5 E , sign extending the input signal (e.g., the 16-bit CIC 3 _OUT signal) to the shift register  569  can reduce the complexity of the logic circuitry required for signed multiplication. For example, extending the output of the shift register  569  to the overall product bit width (e.g., 32 bits) provides for the sign to be stored and tracked during the accumulation stages (e.g., when adding the intermediate results at addition circuit  571  and accumulator  572 ) rather than having to use downstream logic to track and account for the sign of each partial sum. 
     Although not shown in  FIG.  5 A- 5 E , in some examples, a chiplet can optionally include display circuitry in addition to sampling and sensing circuitry. In some such examples, some signal lines can be shared for touch sensing and display operations.  FIG.  5 F  illustrates example circuitry of an array of chiplets that include display circuitry, sampling circuitry, and sensing circuitry of an integrated touch screen according to examples of the disclosure. As discussed above, an integrated touch screen of an electronic device may be implemented as a material stack up (e.g., corresponding to stack ups  300  and  320  in  FIGS.  3 A- 3 B ) including chiplets (or touch chiplets and display chiplets). As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the chiplets may be arranged as an array (e.g., a row/column array with a first number of chiplets arranged within a column and a second number of chiplets arranged within a row) above or below the touch screen substrate (e.g., in touch and display circuit layer  308  or  311  above or below substrate  310 ), as similarly discussed above with reference to  FIG.  4   . As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the array may include a first column  505 - 1  of chiplets and an adjacent second column  505 - 2  of chiplets. In some examples, the first column  505 - 1  includes a first chiplet  507 A and the second column  505 - 2  includes a second chiplet  507 B, where the first chiplet  507 A is adjacent to the second chiplet  507 B (e.g., the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B are arranged in the same row of the array). It should be understood that the chiplets in the first column  505 - 1  and the chiplets in the second column  505 - 2  are illustrated and described herein with reference to the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B, respectively. 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may comprise a plurality of exemplary components, which is optionally the same between the two chiplets  507 A and  507 B (and optionally thus between adjacent chiplets in the first column  505 - 1  and the second column  505 - 2 ). As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may include display circuitry, represented by display block  580 A/ 580 B. In some examples, the display circuitry of the display block  580 A/ 580 B may correspond to display circuitry discussed previously above (e.g., display circuitry  211  in  FIG.  2 A ). In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may further include input memory, represented by register (reg) block  582 A/ 582 B. As discussed in more detail below, the register block  582 A/ 582 B may be configured to receive data (e.g., four-bit data) as input to the chiplet  507 A/ 507 B. As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may also include touch sensing circuitry, represented by touch analog-front-end  584 A/ 584 B. In some examples, the touch sensing circuitry of the touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B may correspond to touch sensing circuitry discussed previously above (e.g., touch sensing circuitry  415  in  FIG.  4    and/or touch sensing circuitry  515  in  FIG.  5 A ). 
     Additionally, in some examples, the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may comprise a plurality of timing components, which is optionally the same between the two chiplets  507 A and  507 B (and optionally thus between adjacent chiplets in the first column  505 - 1  and the second column  505 - 2 ). As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may include a counter  586 A/ 586 B, which may be configurable to receive one or more timing (e.g., clock) signals, as discussed in more detail below. In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may also include switching circuitry, such as a multiplexer (MUX)  588 A and  588 B that is configurable to multiplex connections between the display circuitry and the cathode electrodes of the integrated touch sensor panel according to timing signals received from the counter  586 A/ 586 B to update the display. Additionally, the switching circuitry can be used to couple the cathode electrodes of the integrate touch sensor panel together and to the touch sensing circuitry for touch sensing operations. As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplets  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may be configured to receive one or more supply voltages for powering an operation (e.g., display operation, touch sensing operations) of each of the chiplets  507 A/ 507 B. In some examples, as similarly discussed above, the one or more voltage supplies powering voltage supply line VDD may be generated in the power management unit (e.g., PMU  214  in  FIG.  2 A ). For example, a voltage supply line may provide voltage signal VDD to each chiplet  507 A/ 507 B. 
     As discussed above with reference to  FIG.  5 A , the touch sensing circuitry (and/or display circuitry) may be susceptible to interference events (e.g., electromagnetic interference) occurring internally or externally to the device. For example, as discussed above, interference events can include supply and/or ground voltage noise (e.g., from the supply lines VDD 1 , VDD 2  and/or VSS), ripple or bounce from power management unit (e.g., PMU  214 ), off-chip analog buffer, micro-driver on-chip supply current noise/bounce (i.e., chiplet supply current noise/bounce), backplane noise/interferer coupling at the sense amplifier input (e.g., at the non-inverting input of the sense amplifier  250 ), among other possibilities. Further, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , for example, because the plurality of chiplets share the same voltage supply network (VDD), individual operations/actions performed by individual chiplets (e.g.,  507 A/ 507 B), as well as localized noise, bounces, etc. on the individual chiplets, can affect other neighboring chiplets through crosstalk. As the crosstalk is increased among the plurality of chiplets, the performance of one, some, or all chiplets can be degraded. As discussed below, configuring the chiplets in the adjacent columns  505 - 1  and  505 - 2  to share data lines and/or one or more clock signals can reduce or eliminate (and/or otherwise prevent) the above-described impacts of electromagnetic interference events on chiplet sensing performance. 
     In some examples, as mentioned above, the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may be configurable to receive a data signal (e.g., a four-bit data signal) as input. In some examples, the data signal may comprise one or more data lines, which optionally correspond to the display data lines (e.g., for controlling the image to display of the electronic device). In some examples, the data lines may be shared to control both touch and display operations. In some examples, same data lines may be used to supply the display data signal (DATA 0 ) to the first chiplet  507 A for display operation and the touch data signals to the first chiplet  507 A for touch sensing operations. The touch data signals can include configuration information for touch sensing, timing information for touch sensing, and outputting data from touch sensing (e.g., to a host processor). In a similar manner, the data lines may be shared to control both touch and display operations for the second chiplet  507 B (e.g., DATA  1 ). In some examples, to reduce the number of data lines, each column of chiplets shares the same data lines. For example, in  FIG.  5 F , the same data lines may be used to supply the first column of chiplets, including first chiplet  507 A, with the four-bit data signal DATA 0 , and the same data lines may be used to supply the second column of chiplets, including the second chiplet  507 A, with the four-bit data signal DATA 1 . Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may be configurable to receive a second input signal TOKEN_IN. The TOKEN_IN signal can be provided to select which chiplet within the column of chiplets is active to use the data lines for touch or display purposes. For example, during a display operation, only a chiplet (or multiple chiplets) within the column of chiplets (e.g., the one(s) with the active token) reads the display data lines to update the appropriate portion of the display in accordance with the display data. Likewise, during a touch sensing operation, only the chiplet (or multiple chiplets) within the column of chiplets (e.g., the one(s) with the active token) reads the configuration or timing information for touch sensing from the data lines or outputs sensed touch data to the data lines. In some examples, as discussed below, the data lines may be configured in a differential fashion (e.g., in which the data signals DATA 0  and DATA 1  include opposite polarities) to help reduce and/or remove (and prevent) interference events. 
     In some examples, the data lines of the data signal received by the chiplets of  FIG.  5 F  may be provided in one or more exemplary configurations. In some examples, the data lines supplying the chiplets  507 A and  507 B with the data signal may be configured with a single ended configuration. In some examples, when employing the single ended configuration, all data lines for a given data signal may have the same polarity. For example, in  FIG.  5 F , the data lines for DATA 0  and DATA 1  may be positive, such that the polarities for DATA 0  are {1, 1, 1, 1} (e.g., for a four-bit signal) and the polarities for DATA 1  are also {1, 1, 1, 1}. Alternatively, in some examples, when employing the single ended configuration, the data lines for DATA 0  and DATA 1  may be inverted, such that the polarities for DATA 0  and DATA 1  are both {0, 0, 0, 0} (e.g., for a four-bit signal). In some examples, utilizing the single ended configuration may allow for fewer interface lines and lower power usage (e.g., because each line carries an independent signal). In some examples, the data lines supplying the chiplets  507 A and  507 B with the data signal may be configured with a fully differential configuration (e.g., locally differential within a column). In some examples, when employing the fully differential configuration, a given pair of data lines of the data signal may have opposite polarities. For example, in  FIG.  5 F , each pair of the data lines for DATA 0  and DATA 1  may have opposite polarities, such that the polarities for DATA 0  are {0, 1, 0, 1} (e.g., for a four-bit signal) (or {1, 0, 1, 0}) and the polarities for DATA 1  are also {0, 1, 0, 1} (or {1, 0, 1, 0}). In some examples, utilizing the fully differential configuration may allow for improved local electromagnetic interference control (e.g., on a given chiplet and/or for a given column of chiplets). In some examples, the data lines supplying the chiplets  507 A and  507 B may be configured with a column differential configuration. In some examples, when employing the column differential configuration, the data lines of the data signal for one column of chiplets have the same polarity and the data lines of the data signal for an adjacent column of chiplets have the same but opposite polarity of the data lines for the first column of chiplets. For example, in  FIG.  5 F , the data lines for DATA 0  may be positive, such that the polarities for DATA 0  are {1, 1, 1, 1} (e.g., for a four-bit signal), and the data lines for DATA 1  may be inverted, such that the polarities for DATA 1  are {0, 0, 0, 0}. Alternatively, in some examples, when employing the column differential configuration, the polarities of the data lines for DATA 0  may be {0, 0, 0, 0} and the polarities for DATA 1  may be {1, 1, 1, 1}. 
     Accordingly, the data signal (e.g., DATA 0 /DATA 1 ) supplied to the chiplets  507 A and  507 B within the chiplet array (e.g., columns  505 - 1  and  505 - 2 ) may be provided using one of the above configurations to help reduce (and/or prevent) electromagnetic interference (and other interference events) between the adjacent chiplets  507 A and  507 B. As shown in  FIG.  5 F , the respective data signal DATA 0 /DATA 1  may be received by the respective register block  582 A/ 582 B of the respective chiplet  507 A/ 507 B. It should be understood that, although the data signals DATA 0  and DATA 1  are described herein as being four-bit signals, other bit lengths are possible, such as 2-bit, 6-bit, 8-bit, 10-bit, odd-bit, etc. signals. In some examples, the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may receive the data signals DATA 0  and DATA 1 , respectively, concurrently or sequentially. In some examples, as described below, the register block  582 A/ 582 B of the chiplet  507 A/ 507 B may transmit (e.g., via electrical traces) the data received to the touch sensing circuitry (e.g., included in Touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B) and/or the display circuitry (e.g., included in display block  580 A/ 580 B) according to one or more clock cycles (e.g., dictated by one or more clock signals). 
     In some examples, as mentioned above, the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B may be configurable to share one or more timing (e.g., clock) signals shared between the touch sensing circuitry (e.g., Touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B) and the display circuitry (e.g., display block  580 A/ 580 B). For example, as shown in  FIG.  5 F , the counter  586 A/ 586 B may be configured to receive a first clock signal FRAME_SYNC and a second clock signal ROW_SYNC. In some examples, the first clock signal FRAME_SYNC and the second clock signal ROW_SYNC may control a cycle in which display operations and/or touch operations are performed at the electronic device (e.g., using the first chiplet  507 A and the second chiplet  507 B). In some examples, the first and the second clock signals may be utilized to control timing of the touch sensing circuitry (e.g., Touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B) of the chiplets  507 A and  507 B. For example, the FRAME_SYNC and ROW_SYNC clock signals may be utilized to synchronize transmission of the data signal (e.g., DATA 0  and DATA 1 ) from the register block  582 A/ 582 B to the display block  580 A/ 580 B and/or the Touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B (e.g., via signal SNS_IN controllable by the MUX  588 A/ 588 B) on the chiplet  507 A/ 507 B. In some examples, the data signals DATA 0  and DATA 1  may be used for touch configuration, touch timing, and/or touch readout, as well as display operations, as discussed previously above. Accordingly, as described above with reference to  FIG.  5 F , the chiplets in the first column  505 - 1  and the second column  505 - 2  are optionally configurable to utilize the display data lines to supply touch data (e.g., via DATA 0  and DATA 1 ) to the touch sensing circuitry (e.g., included in the Touch AFE  584 A/ 584 B) of the chiplets, which provides for improved electromagnetic interference control, thereby improving device operation, as an advantage. 
     It should be understood that the various circuit components shown in  FIGS.  5 A- 5 F  and discussed above are exemplary and that additional or alternative circuit components may be employed on the chiplet  507 . For example, operational amplifier  502  can include an input resistor in its feedback network in addition to or instead of capacitor  503 . Additionally or alternatively, a fewer or greater number of voltage sampling circuit components (e.g., switches and sampling capacitors) may be provided to correspondingly provide a fewer or greater number of reference voltages to the circuit components of the chiplet. For example, a voltage sampling circuit may be included for VREF_ADC and not for VCM (or vice versa). Additionally or alternatively, additional voltage sampling circuitry can be provided for additional reference voltages. Accordingly, the voltage sampling circuitry may be provided to provide low-noise reference voltages effectively and efficiently to the alternatively configured amplifier circuitry. 
       FIG.  6    illustrates an example timing diagram of operating switches for sampling operations according to examples of the disclosure. It should be understood that the timing diagram is exemplary and different timing can be employed.  FIG.  6    illustrates a timing diagram  600  that can include periods (e.g., periods  610 ,  612 ,  614 ) corresponding to sampling operations and/or operations using sampled reference voltages. For example, as described herein, sampling operations by voltage sampling circuitry can including sampling external references to provide low-noise references to the chiplets, etc. for touch sensing operations. As shown, the timing diagram  600  separately illustrates the switch positions for performing sampling operations for multiple reference voltages. For example, one sampling operation can provide a reference voltage (e.g., Vref  1 ) to the sense amplifier (e.g.,  502 ) and S2D circuitry (e.g.,  512 ) and a second sampling operation can provide a reference voltage (e.g., Vref  2 ) to the ADC (e.g.,  516 ). As discussed above, the sampling operations can be performed prior to touch operations or other sensing operations (e.g., temperature sensing, display, etc.) that use the low noise sampled reference voltage. 
     In some examples, period  612  can be a sampling period during which the one or more references can be sampled while the switches remain closed (e.g., coupling the sampling capacitors to the reference voltage nodes of the chiplets) and period  614  can be a sensing period during which the one or more references can be used for the sensing operations. In some examples, the sampling period can optionally be preceded by a period  610  in which the sampling corresponds to preparation for sampling in which the switch may be closed. In some examples, period  614  can include a touch sensing operation. In some examples, period  614  can include additional operations supporting the touch sensing operation. As an example, the chiplet can be configured for sensing operations before the sensing operation, the sensing operation(s) can be performed by the chiplet, and/or the sensing data can be read out from the chiplet after the sensing operation. In some examples, the configuration, performance and/or data readout can occur in a different order. The sensing operations can include a mutual capacitance scan, a self-capacitance scan, a stylus scan, touch spectral analysis scan, and a stylus spectral analysis scan, among other possible sensing operations. In some examples, multiple sensing operations can be performed in parallel. For example, as described herein, touch operations can be performed in parallel (e.g., across multiple chiplets). In some examples, spectral analysis for a clean stylus frequency can be performed during a touch sensing operation and/or a spectral analysis for a clean touch frequency can be performed during a stylus sensing operation. 
     As shown in  FIG.  6   , the sampling operations can include operating the first switch (e.g., corresponding to first switch  520 , “S 0 ” in  FIG.  5 A ), labeled “Switch  1 ”, and operating the second switch (e.g., corresponding to second switch  522 , “S 0 ” in  FIG.  5 A ), labeled “Switch  2 ”. As discussed herein, the sampling operations can include sampling a first reference voltage node (e.g., corresponding to voltage node  540 ) and sampling a second reference voltage node (e.g., corresponding to voltage node  542 ). In some examples, the sampling operations are optionally performed before the touch sensing operation. 
     In some examples, the chiplet (e.g., touch chiplet and/or display chiplet) can idle after performing an operation, during which period the chiplet is not being configured, performing a sensing operation, and/or performing a data read out. In such examples, the idling period may define and/or cause the chiplet to enter a quiet period during which the one or more sampling operations are performed during periods  610  and/or  612 . In some such examples, after the quiet time  620  begins, the first and the second switches (Switch 1  and Swtich 2 ) can be closed (if not already closed), as shown at the start of period  610 . Then, in some such examples, after the first and the second switches have been closed, the one or more reference voltage nodes can be sampled to obtain one or more reference voltages (Vref  1  and Vref  2 ) stored in the sampling capacitors (e.g., corresponding to capacitors  510 A- 511 ), as shown in period  612 . Then, the first and the second switches (Switch 1  and Switch 2 ) can be opened to disconnect the one or more reference voltage nodes from the sampling capacitors, for example, as shown by the transition in the state of the switches at the start of period  614 . As discussed herein, the sensing operations following the sampling operations can utilize the one or more low-noise reference voltages obtained during the sampling period. 
     It is understood that, in some examples, the sampling operations performed during each period for each reference voltage can be performed concurrently. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the sampling operations for different reference voltages may not be performed concurrently. For example, the first switch (Switch  1 ) may be operated to sample the first reference voltage node (e.g., corresponding to node  540 ) during a first period and the second switch (Switch  2 ) may be operated to sample the second reference voltage node (e.g., corresponding to node  542 ) during a second period, different from the first period. For example, during a first sequence of sampling periods, the sampling operations may be performed to provide reference voltages to the sense amplifier circuitry (e.g., corresponding to sense amplifier (C2V)  502  and S2D  512 ), and during a second sequence of sampling periods, the sampling operations may be performed to provide reference voltages to the ADC circuitry (e.g., corresponding to buffer  506  and ADC  516 ). Additionally or alternatively, the sampling operations may be performed during a first sequence of sampling periods for a first chiplet, and then may be performed during a second sequence of sampling periods for a second chiplet, for example. 
     Time-multiplexing sampling and sensing functionality can be beneficial to avoid interference between sampling and sensing operations. In particular, transients due to micro-driver currents used to drive voltage sampling circuitry and touch sensing circuitry of the chiplets can introduce noise into touch measurements that can reduce sensing performance if sampling and sensing operations occurred concurrently. 
       FIG.  7    illustrates an example process  700  of sampling one or more reference voltages for operating an integrated touch screen according to examples of the disclosure. As described herein, the integrated touch screen can include display operation and touch operation. For example, touch operations can occur during intraframe pauses or interframe pauses in the display operations. The touch operations may be preceded by a voltage sampling operation for providing one or more reference voltages for use in such touch sensing operations. In some examples, the sampling occurs before each touch sensing operation. In some examples, the sampling occurs periodically, such as every minute, every half minute, every two minutes, etc. In some examples, the sampling occurs in response to detecting that noise levels are above a predefined threshold (e.g., noise, ripple, bounce, etc. on one or more chiplets exceeds the predefined threshold) or some other trigger. In some examples, the sampling occurs a predefined number of times before an operation is performed, such as one, two, three, four, etc. times before each touch sensing operation. As discussed herein, the sampling operation can be performed by voltage sampling circuitry. 
     At  702 , the chiplet may be configured to perform a sampling operation. For example, while the device is in an analog quiet period (e.g., a period of low or idle chiplet (touch chiplet and/or display chiplet) activity). In some examples, the one or more switches of the sampling circuitry can be closed (or remain closed) to allow one or more reference voltages to be sampled by one or more sampling capacitors for later use in one or more sensing operations ( 704 ). For example, switch  520  and/or switch  522  can be closed. At  706 , the sampling operation can include sampling one or more voltages. In some examples, the sampling operation can include sampling a first voltage reference node using a first sampling capacitor to obtain a first reference voltage ( 708 ), such as the ADC reference voltage sampled on sampling capacitor  511 . In some examples, the sampling operation can include sampling a second voltage reference node using one or more second sampling capacitors to obtain a second reference voltage ( 710 ), such as sampling the common mode reference voltage on sampling capacitors  510 A- 510 C. It is understood that the sampling operation can include sampling more or fewer reference voltage nodes depending on the number of reference nodes in a given application. 
     At  712 , after sampling the one or more reference voltages, the one or more switches can be opened to disconnect the input voltage pins (e.g., the chiplet reference voltage pins) from the sampling capacitors (e.g., the first input voltage pin and the second input voltage pin can be decoupled from the first sampling capacitor and the second sampling capacitor by opening the respective switches ( 714 ,  716 )). The sampled reference voltages can be stored across the sampling capacitor(s) and can represent low-noise references because the references are decoupled from the reference voltage pin external to the chiplets. Opening the one or more switches can occur at the conclusion of a sampling operation and/or as part of configuring the chiplet for touch sensing operation after the sampling operation. 
     Additionally, as described herein, the first reference voltage and/or the second reference voltage stored across the first and second sampling capacitors, respectively, can be used to perform one or more sensing operations (e.g., touch sensing). Sensing circuitry can perform the one or more sensing operations (e.g., be configured to perform a specific type of touch scan). For example, the sensing circuitry can be configured to drive (D), sense (S) and/or ground (G) a touch node electrode and to operate in self-capacitance and/or mutual capacitance configurations. At  718 , the integrated touch screen can perform touch operations (e.g., based on timing and/or control signals from the touch and display controller  212 ). For example, the touch operation can include sensing a capacitance of a touch node electrode ( 720 ), where the sense amplifier can be referenced to the reference voltage of a sampling capacitor (e.g., capacitors  510 A- 510 C). In some examples, an analog measurement by the sensing circuitry can be converted to a digital value by an ADC reference to the reference voltage of a sampling capacitor (e.g., capacitor  511 ) and output by the chiplet or touch chiplet ( 722 ). 
     Additionally, as described herein (e.g., with reference to  FIGS.  2 B and  2 C ), the touch screen can operate in a power domain referenced to a guard voltage during touch operation (e.g., a guarded self-capacitance touch scan). A guard voltage can be generated (e.g., by a guard integrated circuit). A guard layer can be driven by the guard voltage and the supply voltages (e.g., for chiplets or touch chiplets) can be referenced to the guard voltage. 
     While described herein as being applied to chiplets (e.g., touch chiplets and display chiplets), the disclosed voltage sampling architecture and method may be applied generally to any chiplet-based system or to any system that may require or benefit from a low-noise reference voltage for performing a given operation (e.g., any system that uses digital-to-analog converters). For example, as discussed herein, the disclosed voltage sampling method may be used for providing one or more low-noise reference voltages to a display system for updating one or more pixels of a display. As another example, the disclosed voltage sampling method may be used for providing one or more low-noise reference voltages to a temperature sensing system for reading and/or detecting a temperature internally or externally to an electronic device, and for performing a particular operation using the detected temperature reading. As another example, the disclosed voltage sampling method may be used for providing one or more low-noise reference voltages to an optical system for selectively emitting light from one or more light emitters within the optical system. As another example, the disclosed voltage sampling method may be used for providing one or more low-noise reference voltages to a communications system for wireless communications (e.g., referencing a receiver circuit in a transmitter to receiver system). It is understood that the disclosed voltage sampling architecture and method may be applied to various other systems for providing efficient and reliable voltage references for performing various operations not explicitly mentioned herein.
