Abstract

Fingerprint detection circuits with common mode noise rejection are described. The Fingerprint detection circuit includes a half-bridge circuit coupled to a receive (RX) electrode of an array of fingerprint detection electrodes and to a buried capacitance that is unalterable by the presence of a conductive object on the array. The fingerprint detection circuit may also include a listener electrode configured to enable common mode noise rejection through a differential input stage of a low noise amplifier (LNA).
