Abstract
A detection device includes: a detector including first electrodes and second electrodes disposed around a the first electrodes; a detection circuit configured to detect proximity of an external object to the detector; a power circuit configured to generate a square wave; and a filter that is coupled to the power circuit through an isolator and configured to receive the square wave transmitted through the isolator. The filter includes a low-pass filter circuit and a digital potentiometer. A periodically oscillating potential based on output from the filter is provided as a reference potential of the power circuit and provided to the second electrodes. A reference potential of the filter is a fixed potential. The power circuit can change the frequency of the generated square wave. The filter can change the frequency of the periodically oscillating potential in accordance with an electric resistance value of the digital potentiometer.
