Abstract

A processing system includes a level shifter, a drive circuit, and a capacitive sensing circuit. The level shifter is configured to generate a first level-shifted output corresponding to a graylevel value and a second level-shifted output corresponding to capacitive sensing control data. The drive circuit is configured to generate an output voltage based at least in part on the first level-shifted output. The capacitive sensing circuit is configured to receive a resulting signal from a sensor electrode and generate, based at least in part on the second level-shifted output, a capacitive sensing output corresponding to the resulting signal.
