Abstract
A video display includes a video display panel and a video display drive circuit configured to control a display on condition. A touch screen includes a touch screen panel (mounted on top of the video display panel) and a touch panel control and sense circuit configured to operate the touch screen panel in a self-capacitance mode. The touch panel control and sense circuit includes sense drive circuits configured to generate sense drive signals for application to sense lines of the touch screen panel. A controller controls actuation of the sense drive circuits so that the sense drive signals are synchronized to the display on condition. In an implementation, the leading edges of the sense drive signals are synchronized to the display on condition. In another implementation, a window is synchronized to the display on condition and the leading edges of the sense drive signals exhibit jitter within the window.
