Patent number: 8363033Abstract: A capacitance sensing circuit for a touch panel includes an analog capacitance-detecting circuit, a PWM-to-digital circuit and a self-calibration circuit. The analog capacitance-detecting circuit detects the capacitance of the touch panel based on a charging current, and converts the detected capacitance into a PWM control signal. The PWM-to-digital circuit converts the PWM control signal into a sensing count value based on a clock signal. The self-calibration circuit adjusts the value of the charging current or the frequency of the clock signal according to the difference between the range of the sensing count value and a predetermined detecting range. The predetermined detecting range can thus be adjusted for matching the range of the sensing count value.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Ke-Horng Chen, Shih-Wei Wang, Chi-Lin Chen, Chih-Chung Chen, Chia-Lin Liu, Huai-An Li, Chi-Neng Mo
