Abstract
A pen includes: an electrode; a power supply circuit which, in operation, supplies a first voltage; a low voltage integrated circuit (LVIC) coupled to the power supply circuit, wherein the LVIC, in operation, outputs a transmission signal at the first voltage; a high voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) including a level shifter which, in operation, outputs the transmission signal at a second voltage that is higher than the first voltage; an inter-IC wire which, in operation, supplies the transmission signal having the first voltage from the LVIC to the HVIC; an electrode wire which, in operation, supplies the transmission signal having the second voltage from the HVIC to the electrode; and a step-up circuit coupled to the power supply circuit, wherein the HVIC in operation, supplies the second voltage to the level shifter.
