Abstract
A processing system for an input device includes a sensor module and a noise mitigation module. The sensor module includes sensor circuitry and is configured to drive a plurality of transmitter electrodes with transmitter signals, and receive, with a plurality of receiver electrodes, resulting signals comprising effects corresponding to the transmitter signals. The noise mitigation module is configured to determine positional information for a first input object in a sensing region of the input device based on the resulting signals and to report the positional information. The noise mitigation module includes a touch buffer configured to store a plurality of input object states corresponding to the first input object and is configured to limit, when in a high-noise mode, the reporting of positional information based on the plurality of input object states stored in the touch buffer.
