Abstract

A touch controller to be used by a touch screen device to provide a touch position is disclosed, including a plurality of capacitance sensing channels that each provide an analog signal responsive to a touch on a screen; a channel multiplexer to select at least one of the plurality of channels; an analog-to-digital converter to change the analog signal of the selected capacitance sensing channel to a digital signal; a noise detecting channel coupled to a noise analog-to-digital converter to generate a noise digital signal; a noise blocking timing generation block that combines a time shifted digital signal and a blocking signal, wherein the time shifted digital signal is formed by time shifting the digital signal and the blocking signal is related to the noise signal; a capacitance calculating block coupled to the noise blocking time generation block to calculate capacitance values for each of the capacitance sensing channels; and a position calculation unit to find the touch position on the screen based on the capacitance values for each of the capacitance sensing channels.
