Abstract

The present disclosure provides a touch detection circuit which comes with additional, new functions, an input device and an electronic apparatus. N first terminals (Ps) are each connected with a corresponding first electrode (Es). A second terminal (Pc) is connected with a second electrode (Ec). N first capacitance detection circuits () correspond to the N first terminals (Ps), change voltages of the first terminals (Ps), respectively, and each generate a first detection signal indicating an electrostatic capacitance of the corresponding first electrode (Es) in accordance with movement of a charge produced in the corresponding first terminal (Ps). A cancelling circuit () driving the second terminal (Pc) in a manner that a voltage of the second terminal (Pc) follows a voltage of the first terminal (Ps). A second capacitance detection circuit () generating a second detection signal indicating an electrostatic capacitance of the second electrode (Ec).
