Abstract
To reduce an increase in the burden of designing circuits used in a pen pressure sensor, provided is a stylus including a detection circuit that is connectable to a pen pressure sensor that, in operation, acquires pen pressure data of the stylus, the pen pressure sensor being a capacitive sensor in which a capacitance value changes according to applied force or a resistive sensor in which a resistance value changes according to applied force, the detection circuit can selectively operating in a first mode and a second mode, the detection circuit, in operation, acquiring the pen pressure data based on the capacitance value of the pen pressure sensor while the detection circuit operates in the first mode, and the detection circuit, in operation, acquiring the pen pressure data in reference to the resistance value of the pen pressure sensor while the detection circuit operates in the second mode.
