Abstract
Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with interleaving sense elements are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed adjacent to the first electrode in a first axis. The capacitive-sense array comprises a sensor pitch in the first axis. The first electrode includes a first sense element including a first shape and a first interleaving sense element that interleaves with a first portion and a second portion of the second electrode to extend a first dimension of the first electrode to be greater than the sensor pitch in the first axis. The second electrode includes a second sense element including the first shape and a second interleaving sense element that interleaves with a first portion and a second portion of the first electrode to extend a second dimension of the second electrode to be greater than the sensor pitch in the first axis.
