Touch processor circuit and touch screen system performing analog-to-digital conversion of two steps
Patent number: 9973199Abstract: A touch processor circuit includes a capacitance-to-voltage converter and an analog-to-digital converter. The capacitance-to-voltage converter converts an input signal transmitted from a touch sensor into a conversion signal corresponding to a capacitance of the touch sensor.
