Abstract

In general, in one aspect, one or more embodiments relate to an input device that includes a proximity sensing panel including sensor electrodes, and a proximity sensing circuit. The proximity sensing circuit configured to receive an indication of a transition from a first image refresh rate to a second image refresh rate, wherein the first image refresh rate is greater than a beacon signal rate and the second image refresh rate is equal to or lower than the beacon signal rate. The proximity sensing panel is also configured to align transmitting a beacon signal on the proximity sensing panel to a non-refresh period corresponding to the second refresh rate.
