A touch sensor controller for driving a touch sensor that is stacked on a display panel and includes driving electrodes and receiving electrodes crossing the driving electrodes, the touch sensor controller including: a driving circuit configured to sequentially provide driving signals to the driving electrodes; a read-out circuit configured to, in response to the driving signals, generate touch data based on first sensing signals received from the receiving electrodes and generate display noise data based on a second sensing signal received from a first driving electrode to which a driving signal of the driving signals is not applied from among the driving electrodes; and a touch processor configured to determine whether a touch input has occurred on the touch sensor based on the touch data and the display noise data.

Touch sensor controller, operating method of touch sensor controller, and touch screen driving circuit

An operating method of a touch driving integrated circuit (TDI) sensing a user touch on a touch panel includes: transmitting a first touch signal through a transmission line connected with the touch panel; receiving a first sensing signal through a reception line connected to the touch panel; receiving a first display noise through a detection line connected to the touch panel; and offsetting a noise included in the first sensing signal by using the first display noise.

Touch display device including touch driving integrated circuit for noise detection and compensation and operating method of touch driving integrated circuit

A touch processor circuit includes a capacitance-to-voltage converter and an analog-to-digital converter. The capacitance-to-voltage converter converts an input signal transmitted from a touch sensor into a conversion signal corresponding to a capacitance of the touch sensor. The analog-to-digital converter digitizes the conversion signal transmitted from the capacitance-to-voltage converter and generates a digital value. The analog-to-digital converter includes a first converter, a second converter, and a combination logic circuit. The first converter calculates upper bits of the digital value based on the conversion signal during a first time period. The second converter calculates lower bits of the digital value based on a residue component signal transmitted from the first converter during a second time period. The combination logic circuit combines the upper bits and the lower bits and generates the digital value.
