Abstract

The present invention discloses a touch-sensing method, applied to a touch-sensing circuit, wherein the touch-sensing circuit includes a detection circuit and a comparison circuit. The touch-sensing method includes: enabling a receiving node to be coupled to a ground during a first discharge period, wherein the receiving node is coupled between the detection circuit and the comparison circuit; enabling the receiving node to obtain a first reference voltage during a first charge period; enabling the receiving node to be coupled to the ground during a second discharge period; and enabling the receiving node to obtain a second reference voltage and producing a sensing result according to the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage by the comparison circuit during a second charge period, wherein the sensing result represents whether a touch event occurs at a first node of the touch-sensing circuit.
