Abstract: A capacitive sensing and sampling circuit and method thereof are disclosed. The capacitive sensing and sampling circuit has a voltage source, a sensing unit and a detecting circuit. The detecting unit has a first sensing output unit, a second sensing output unit and a sampling unit. The first and second sensing output units are electrically connected to an output of the sensing unit and the sampling unit. Therefore, by increasing the number of alternatively sensing the capacitive sensing component to obtain more capacitive signals, the number of sampling the sensed capacitive signal is relatively increased. Therefore, the white noise interference for the capacitive sensing and sampling circuit is effectively suppressed, so the signal-to-noise ratio is increased and accuracy of detecting coordinates of the touch object is increased.

In the first mode, the touch device transmits a modulation signal to drive the touch electrodes and to be used as an uplink signal. The input device receives the modulation signal. In the second mode, the touch device receives the downlink signal from the input device. Thus, the touch device does not have to transmit the driving signal and the uplink signal at different times. Then the time is saved for the rest work periods so that every work periods get longer length of time.

Abstract: A clustered scan method of a capacitive touch device has steps of simultaneously providing driving signals in one driving cycle to multiple driving lines including the (i?j)th drive line to the (i+k)th drive line, and simultaneously providing driving signals in a next driving cycle to the drive lines including some of the drive lines driven in the previous driving cycle with a sum of the driving signal in each driving cycle greater than zero. When the stimulated drive lines include a bordering drive line, the driving lines are determined according to a relationship among i, j and k. Accordingly, the signal to noise ratio of the touch device can be increased and the adverse effect for common ground occurring between a measuring system and a human body can be reduced so that the multi-finger positioning issue can be resolved.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a capacitive touch device and excitation signal generating circuit and method thereof. The excitation signal generating circuit is connected to multiple sensing traces of the capacitive touch device, and has a storage unit storing at least one set of digital data. Each set of digital data is corresponding to a frequency. The PDM signal generator reads the set of digital data and converts the read set of digital data to a PDM signal according to the frequency of the read set of digital data. The PDM signal is recovered to an analog excitation signal since the PDM signal passes through a current transmission path, which is equivalent to a low pass filter. Therefore, the present invention can decrease a distortion of the sensing signal to increase accuracy of the sensing signal and to save power.

Abstract: A scan method for increasing frame rate of a touch panel having multiple driving lines, multiple sensing lines and a scan cycle with multiple detection cycles, has steps of generating multiple sets of asynchronous excitation signals within each detection cycle with each set of excitation signals outputted to a corresponding driving line, and receiving capacitance sensing values from the sensing lines corresponding to the driving lines. In contrast to conventional scan methods only outputting one set of excitation signals within each detection cycle, the time required to scan entire driving lines is greatly reduced and the frame rate is increased. Additionally, as the multiple sets of asynchronous excitation signals are asynchronous, the interference to the capacitance sensing values sensed by the sensing circuit in response to the multiple sets of excitation signals won't occur.
