The connections for each port is an additional capacitive load that must be driven by register memory cell.
A 10x attenuator will reduce the capacitive load by a factor of about 10.
Typical cases of capacitive loads are unloaded lines and capacitor banks.
Both inductive and capacitive loads create what is known as reactance in an AC circuit.
A "leading", or capacitive load, will have negative reactive power.
The second approach is to attempt to provide charge to the capacitive loads through paths that are not primarily resistive.
With self-capacitance, current senses the capacitive load of a finger on each column or row.
Consequently, the system may be unstable when connected to sufficiently capacitive loads.
A prime example is when the amplifier's output is connected to a capacitive load.
With self-capacitance, the capacitive load of a finger is measured on each column or row electrode by a current meter.
