  • Patent number: 11644929
    Abstract: Provided are a capacitance detecting circuit, a touch control chip, a touch detection apparatus and an electronic device. The capacitance detecting circuit, by configuring a first input side of an operational amplifier as a preset voltage, and utilizing the same characteristics of voltages at two input sides of the operational amplifier, enables that an output voltage in a touch sensor is configured as a preset voltage by a second input side of the operational amplifier, and by changing a position of a drive of a coding voltage, mutual-capacitance and self-capacitance detection can be realized with the same circuit. After replicating a single-channel current signal output by the operational amplifier into a multi-channel current signal, a current subtracting circuit is used to determine a differential signal of current signals output by two adjacent channels, and the differential signal is converted into a voltage through a charge amplifying circuit.
