Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and devices improve the sensitivity of capacitive sensors. Devices may include an attenuator configured to receive an input from at least one sense electrode of a capacitive sensing device. The attenuator may be included in a sensing channel of a capacitive sensor. Devices may further include a signal generator coupled to an input of the attenuator. The signal generator may include one or more processors configured to generate a sinusoidal signal based, at least in part, on one or more noise characteristics of a scan sequence associated with one or more transmit electrodes of the capacitive sensing device, and provide the sinusoidal signal to the input of the attenuator.
