Abstract
An alternating current (AC) drive signal having a first frequency and a high logic level at a boosted supply voltage is applied to drive a capacitive sensing line of a capacitive touch panel. The boosted supply voltage is generated by boosting an input voltage. The voltage boosting is effectuate by a charge pump circuit operating synchronous to assertion of the AC drive signal with a charge transfer time that is adaptable to different capacitive load conditions.
