Abstract
A control circuit including an input-output pin, an image driver, a sensing circuit, a first path, a second path and a microcontroller circuit is provided. The input-output pin is configured to be coupled to the first pin of a display device and the second pin of a capacitive touch device. The image driver is configured to provide a driving signal. The sensing circuit determines whether the capacitive touch device is touched according to the voltage of the second pin. The microcontroller circuit turns on the first path and turns off the second path to transmit the driving signal to the display device via the input-output pin in a first operation period. The microcontroller circuit turns on the second path and turns off the first path to transmit the voltage of the second pin to the sensing circuit via the input-output pin in a second operation period.
