Fig. 1 is the block schematic diagram of the touch-control sensing system of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, touch-control sensing system 100 comprises a capacitance sensing apparatus 110, a touch-control input interface 120 and a control module 130, wherein touch-control input interface 120 for example is the contact panel of display or the Trackpad of other tool touch-control sensing function, it comprises a plurality of sense capacitance, in order to export a plurality of sensing signal Y 1-Y p
Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram of the touch-control input interface 120 of Fig. 1.Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, whether the capacitance of sense capacitance is touched and determine corresponding to the position on the touch-control input interface according to sense capacitance.Be example with sense capacitance C (n), when sense capacitance C (n) was touched corresponding to the position on the touch-control input interface, the touching object can produce the capacitance variations Δ C of a correspondence.At this moment, sense capacitance C (n) and capacitance variations Δ C form testing capacitance C (n)+Δ C, and by corresponding sense wire 124 outputs one measured signal Y nThen, the capacitance of testing capacitance C (n)+Δ C can be learnt its variation by capacitance sensing apparatus 110 sensings.Afterwards, control module 130 can determine testing capacitance corresponding to the touch position on the touch-control input interface according to this once changing.That is to say that control module 130 changes to judge that according to this touch action occurs in the position of object sensing cell 120.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment except testing capacitance C (n)+Δ C, the capacitance of other sense capacitance can be used as the reference signal when measuring testing capacitance, the noise that comes from the outside with effective payment, and then promote its jam-to-signal.
Specifically, be example with the touch-control sensing system of mutual capacitance type, during operation, the testing capacitance on the touch-control input interface 120 can receive the driving signal X from a driver element (not illustrating) by the drive wire of correspondence 1-X q, and then at the online generation sensing signal of the sensing of correspondence Y 1-Y pWherein, p, q respectively are a positive integer, and 1<p, 1<q.For example, when being driven, put on the driving signal X on the drive wire 122 mCan be coupled to and its sense wire that intersects 124 by sense capacitance C (n), and then produce sensing signal Y at sense wire 124 nWherein, n, m respectively are a positive integer, and 1≤n≤p, 1≤m≤q.
Therefore, during operation, drive signal X by applying m On drive wire 122, capacitance sensing apparatus 110 can obtain the funtcional relationship of the distribution of capacitance values of sense capacitance C (1)-C (p).
So when touching object (for example be finger or pointer) approaches or touch sensing capacitor C (n) during corresponding to the position on the touch-control input interface 120, it can produce corresponding capacitance variations Δ C, and then changes this funtcional relationship.Afterwards, touch-control sensing system 100 just can determine testing capacitance C (n)+Δ C corresponding to the touch position on the touch-control input interface 120 by capacitance sensing apparatus 110 and control module 130.
Please continue with reference to Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, capacitance sensing apparatus 110 comprises a signal selected cell 112 and a signal sensing unit 114.Control module 130 comprises an analog-digital converter 132 and a controller 134.

For example, during one first sensing in, signal selected cell 112 is selected sensing signal Y n, Y N+kBe sent to signal sensing unit 114 and carry out difference relatively.At this, k is a positive integer, and 1≤n≤(p-1), 2≤(n+k)≤p.Be example with k=1, signal selected cell 112 is selected and sensing signal Y nAdjacent sensing signal Y N+1Reference signal when measuring testing capacitance, and export it to signal sensing unit 114 and sensing signal Y nCarry out difference relatively.Then, signal sensing unit 114 finish difference relatively after, produce a difference signal, and export control module 130 to.That is to say that control module 130 judges that in order to the foundation difference signal touch action occurs in the position of object sensing cell 120.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, except measured signal Y nIn addition, signal selected cell 112 is selected sensing signal Y from non-selected sensing signal N+kReference signal during as the measurement testing capacitance can effectively be offseted from the noise on the touch-control input interface 120, and then promote its jam-to-signal.
That is to say, can be considered common-mode noise (commonmode noise) from the noise on the touch-control input interface 120, therefore by the reference signal of from non-selected sensing signal, selecting at least one sensing signal when measuring testing capacitance, can suppress the common-mode noise in the sensing circuit, to improve the jam-to-signal of sensing system.
It should be noted that present embodiment is to select sensing signal Y with signal selected cell 112 n, Y N+kBe example, but the present invention is not limited to this.In other embodiments, signal selected cell 112 can be selected arbitrary sensing signal Y from non-selected sensing signal m(not illustrating) reference signal when measuring testing capacitance, with effective payment from the noise on the touch- control input interface 120,1≤m≤p wherein.
Be with, during first sensing in, when sense capacitance C (n) because of touched when producing capacitance variations Δ C, but the difference signal that control module 130 basis signal sensing cells 114 produce calculates corresponding to the position on the touch-control input interface 120.
In addition, during one second sensing after during first sensing in, signal selected cell 112 can be selected sensing signal Y n, Y N-k(not illustrating) is sent to signal sensing unit 114 and carries out difference relatively.At this, 2≤n≤p, 1≤(n-k)≤(p-1).For example, when k=1, its representation signal selected cell 112 is selected and sensing signal Y nAdjacent sensing signal Y N-1Reference signal during as the measurement testing capacitance.
That is to say, to same sensing signal Y n, signal selected cell 112 can be selected different sensing signals in during adjacent sensing from non-selected sensing signal (be Y N+k, Y N-k) reference signal when measuring testing capacitance, and then reach the purpose of Dynamic Selection reference signal.

In the present embodiment, signal sensing unit 114 for example is a comparer (not illustrating), in order to the measured signal and the reference signal that receive and comparison signal selected cell 112 transmits, producing corresponding difference signal to control module 130, but the present invention is not limited to this.In another embodiment, signal sensing unit 114 for example is a differential amplifier.When signal sensing unit 114 was differential amplifier, it can relatively and amplify the voltage difference of measured signal and reference signal, and exports control module 130 to, to promote the accuracy rate of judging touch position.In addition, in another embodiment, signal sensing unit 114 an also available integrator is implemented.At this moment, the integrator integrable amplifies the voltage difference of measured signal and reference signal, to export corresponding difference signal to control module 130.
In the present embodiment, the difference signal that produces of signal sensing unit 114 for example is a simulating signal.Therefore after receiving this simulating signal, analog-digital converter 132 can be converted into a digital signal.Then, controller 134 carries out a digital operation to this digital signal again, to obtain on the touch-control input interface 120 touch position corresponding to this testing capacitance C (n)+Δ C.That is to say that controller 134 can judge that touch action occurs in the position of object sensing cell 120 according to difference signal.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, touch-control sensing system 100 is that the touch-control system with the mutual capacitance type is example, but the present invention is not limited to this.In other embodiments, touch-control sensing system 100 also can be the touch-control system of self-capacitance type or the touch-control system of any other form.
