Abstract
Apparatuses and methods of synchronizing a display driver integrated circuit (DDI) and a touch screen controller (TSC) integrated circuit that are coupled to a display integrated touch panel, such as an in-cell panel, and allowing multi-phase transmit (TX) scanning of the in-cell touch panel. One apparatus includes a DDI configured to receive signals on a video interface from a host processor over a video interface and to drive electrodes of a touch panel. The DDI is configured to receive control signals from a TSC over a control interface to drive different transmit (TX) phase sequences of a TX signal in different sensing interval on the electrodes of the touch panel.
