A protective case for an electronic device may comprise a wireless adaptor for adding wireless capabilities, including support of additional wireless communication protocols, to the electronic device. The system may enable, for example, location based services functions, social networking functions, and messaging functions.

Setting a slew rate, e.g., a rising time or a falling time, of a scanning signal can be performed with a first operation, and a shunting resistance of the scanning line can be set with a second operation. A scanning system that scans a display screen, a touch screen, etc., can set a desired slew rate during a first period of time and can set a desired shunting resistance during a second period of time. A gate line system can sequentially scan gate lines to display an image during a display phase of a touch screen. The gate line system can, for example, increase the falling times of gate line signals. After the falling gate line signal has stabilized, for example, the gate line system can decrease the shunting resistance of the gate line.

Connectors for electronic devices are provided with embedded antennas. The connectors may be 30-pin connectors. A 30-pin connector may have a conductive shell structure that defines a cavity and a planar dielectric member that extends into the cavity and that has contact pins. An antenna may be formed from an antenna resonating element on the planar dielectric member and an antenna ground formed from the conductive shell structure. An antenna may be formed from a slot in the conductive shell. The antenna and the pins may be electrically coupled to an electronic device using a cable.

A comparator-based driver has a configurable inverter that inverts one of the comparator output signals for application to the gate of a driver transistor used to generate the driver output signal. The configurable inverter can be selectively configured to provide any one of at least two different inverter logic threshold levels. In one possible operational scenario, the configurable inverter is configured such that the inverter logic threshold level is equivalent to the comparator's differential common-mode voltage to provide relatively high driver symmetry. The configurable inverter is then configured to provide a different inverter logic threshold level that is greater than the comparator's differential common-mode voltage to inhibit chattering in the driver output signal.
