Abstract
A touch screen controller has a converter that digitizes analog input as a function of an interference signal generated by an underlying touch screen device. To that end, the touch screen controller includes a set of inputs for receiving the noted interference signal from the touch screen device. The set of inputs also receives analog data from the touch screen device. The above noted converter, which is operatively coupled with the set of inputs, is capable of digitizing the analog data received from the touch screen device as a function of the interference signal.
