Abstract

A circuit for capacitive touch applications has a charge integrator, a low pass-filter, and a correlated double sampler having an input capacitor. The circuit also includes a sampler and holder, and an analog to digital converter. The low pass-filter has a cut-off frequency lower than the Nyquist frequency of the sampler and holder, and the low pass filter includes input capacitor and a serial resistor.
