There is provided an operating method of a capacitive finger navigation device including the steps of: calculating a touch coordinate according to a predetermined position coordinate and associated detected variation of each of a plurality of detecting cells when the associated detected variations of the detecting cells exceed a threshold; mapping the touch coordinate to a touch position associated with a touch surface; entering a relative motion mode when the touch position is in a first area; and entering an absolute coordinate mode when the touch position is in a second area.

Capacitive finger navigation device with hybrid mode and operating method thereof

There is provided a capacitive touch device including a touch panel, a detection circuit and a processing unit. The touch panel includes a plurality of drive electrodes and a plurality of receiving electrodes configured to form a coupling electric field with an external touch panel, and the receiving electrodes are respectively configured to output a detection signal. The detection circuit is coupled to one of the receiving electrodes and configured to modulate the detection signal with two signals to generate two detection components. The processing unit is configured to obtain a phase value according to the two detection components to accordingly decode transmission data.

Capacitive touch device, capacitive communication device and communication system

There is provided a capacitive touch system including a gain control unit sequentially receiving a plurality of digital detected signals of a detection frame. The gain control unit includes a gain buffer and a control circuit. The gain buffer is configured to store a current gain sheet. The control circuit calculates a first gain sheet according to a setpoint and the digital detected signals of the detection frame, compares a current roughness of the current gain sheet with a first roughness of the first gain sheet and replaces the current gain sheet in the gain buffer by the first gain sheet when the first roughness is flatter than the current roughness.
