Abstract

A capacitive touch sensor includes a touch interface, a switch, and a sensing circuit. The switch circuit switches based on sensing conditions of self-capacitance and mutual capacitance. The sensing circuit is used for both the self-capacitance mode and the self-capacitance mode to simplify circuit structure and save circuit area and power consumption. The output sensing voltage from the sensing circuit is stable. A differential mode is designed to improve noise interference and enhance accuracy of judging the touch effect. Then, the self-capacitance mode is utilized for the areas of possible touches to save operation time for the capacitance mode.
