Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology may provide methods and system for a capacitive touch sensor. The system is configured to measure a capacitance of a capacitive sensor element and generate a corresponding voltage using a sensing circuit. The sensing circuit may include an amplifier configured to generate a plurality of amplified voltages by applying a set of gain values to the voltage. The sensing circuit may further analyze a set of values according to the plurality of the amplified voltages.
