Abstract: There is offered a signal processing circuit for an electrostatic capacity type touch sensor which can improve the noise tolerance and adjust an offset in the output voltage. The signal processing circuit for the touch sensor is structured to include an alternating current power supply providing an excitation pad with an alternating voltage, an electric charge amplifier generating an output voltage Vout corresponding to a difference between a capacitance of a first capacitor formed between a first touch pad and the excitation pad and a capacitance of a second capacitor formed between a second touch pad and the excitation pad, and an offset adjustment circuit to adjust an offset in the output voltage Vout of the electric charge amplifier.

Abstract: There is offered a signal processing circuit of the electrostatic capacity type touch panel which can eliminate duplication of components to reduce a cost of the components. A touch panel 51 is formed on a glass substrate 200. Sensor circuits 50A and 50B are arrayed in a Y direction, and sensor circuits 50C and 50D are arrayed in an X direction on the periphery of the touch pane 51. Serial clock terminals SCL of the sensor circuits 50A-50D are connected to a serial clock line 53 all together, while serial data terminals SDA are connected to a serial data line 54 all together. A microcomputer 52 is disposed on a PCB substrate outside the glass substrate 200. Data communication can be performed between the microcomputer 52 and the sensor circuits 50A-50D through the serial clock line 53 and the serial data line 54.

Abstract: There is offered a signal processing circuit for an electrostatic capacity type touch sensor capable of detecting a larger number of locations with a smaller number of touch pads as well as improving noise immunity. A selection circuit selects either a signal from a combination of the first and second kinds of touch pads outputted through the first and second output terminals CO1 and CO2 in a touch panel or a signal from a combination of the third and fourth kinds of touch pads outputted through the third and fourth output terminals CO3 and CO4. An electric charge amplifier outputs first and second output voltages V1 and V2 corresponding to a difference between capacitances of the touch pads on the touch panel based on the signals from the selected combination. A delta sigma type A/D converter converts the first and second output voltages V1 and V2 into digital signals.

Abstract: The invention realizes certainly detecting two or more positions on a touch panel that are touched at the same time. A drive circuit selects one from X lines, and supplies an alternating drive voltage to the selected line. A multiplexer selects a first sense line and a second sense line from Y lines that extend to cross the X lines. A charge amplifier outputs an output voltage corresponding to a difference between a first capacitance between the first sense line and the X line selected by the drive circuit and a second capacitance between the second sense line and the X line selected by the drive circuit. A touch position is then detected based on the output voltage of the charge amplifier.

Abstract: There is offered a signal processing device of touch panel using an electrostatic capacity, which realizes improvement in noise tolerance and linear detection. An excitation pad, a first touch pad and a second touch pad are disposed on a substrate in a way that the excitation pad is interposed between the first and second touch pads. On the other hand, an alternating current power supply that provides the excitation pad with an alternating voltage through a wiring is provided on a sensor IC side of the signal processing device of touch panel. Also, there is provided an electric charge amplifier. The first touch pad is connected to a non-inverting input terminal (+) of the electric charge amplifier through an wiring, while the second touch pad is connected to an inverting input terminal (?) of the electric charge amplifier through a wiring.
