Abstract
A digitizer tablet consuming less power than is required of current tablets comprises short duration fast rise time energizing pulses, and a resonant circuit in the induced signal detector tuned to the frequency of the pulse repetition rate or preferably a higher frequency. Peak detector or timed sample and hold circuits are connected to the resonant circuit to improve resolution and reduce noise.
