Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013165466A1] Active stylus circuitry for a capacitive touch screen includes an inverting charge integrator circuit and an inverting amplifier. To reduce power consumption of the active stylus circuitry, a touchscreen sensing circuit senses an increase in a driveline voltage at the capacitive touchscreen and, upon detection of the increase, connects a power supply to the inverting charge integrator and the inverting amplifier. An automatic gain control circuit may be implemented to adjust gain of the active stylus circuitry depending on the sensitivity of the capacitive touchscreen. A dual-tip active/passive stylus is disclosed in which charge flowing through the passive tip during use is measured to set a gain for the active stylus tip circuitry.
