Abstract
Embodiments of a circuit and a stylus for interacting with a capacitive sensor are disclosed. The stylus includes a stylus body, a circuit disposed within the stylus body, a tip, and a power source. The circuit includes an input terminal, an amplifier, and an output terminal. The tip includes a sensing electrode and an emitting electrode, and the tip is disposed on a proximal end of the stylus body. The power source is electrically coupled to the circuit. The input terminal of the circuit is electrically coupled to the sensing electrode of the tip, and the output terminal of the circuit is electrically coupled to the emitting electrode of the tip. The circuit receives a signal through the sensing electrode, amplifies and inverts the signal, and outputs the signal through the emitting electrode. The amplifier of the circuit amplifies only a portion of the signal that exceeds a threshold voltage.
