Abstract
A resistive sensing touch panel may include row receiver tracks and column drive tracks. A controller may send and receive control signals and sense signals, respectively, to and from the resistive touch panel. The resistive touch panel may provide sense signals when a touch of the panel is detected. The sense signals may be sampled on a number of rows. When sampling a given row, the controller may change the termination of that row by coupling the end of the sampled row to a resistor having a higher value then terminating resistors coupled to the end of non-sampled rows that are adjacent to the sampled row. The controller may further pull the terminating resistors coupled to the end of the non-sampled adjacent rows to a supply rail voltage while the sampled row is being sampled.
