This paper presents a mutual capacitance touch readout IC architecture for 120 Hz high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays. In high-refresh-rate AMOLED panels, whole pixels in a horizontal line should be updated without any time-sharing with each other, leading to an amplified display noise on touch screen panel (TSP) electrodes. The proposed system architecture mitigates severe display noise by synchronizing the driving for the TSP and AMOLED pixel circuits. The proposed differential sensing technique, which is based on noise suppression in reference to mutual capacitance channels, minimizes common-mode display noise. In the front-end circuit, intrinsic circuit offset is cancelled by a chopping scheme, which correlates to the phase of the driving signals in the TSP driver and operating clocks of the front-end. Operating at a 120 Hz scan-rate, it reduces display noise by more than 11.6 dB when compared with the conventional single-ended TSP sensing method. With a built-in 130-nm CMOS, a prototype IC occupies an area of 8.02 mm2 while consuming 6.4-mW power from a 3.3 V analog voltage supply.
