下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。The technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
首先结合图1描述本申请实施例的电容检测电路的一种可能的应用场景的示意图。First, a schematic diagram of a possible application scenario of the capacitance detection circuit of the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to FIG. 1 .
图1中示出了触摸屏中的横向和纵向的两层通道,采用这种图案的电容触控系统通常可以同时采用自电容和互电容这两种电容检测方式。在进行自电容检测时,触控芯片会扫描每一个横向通道和纵向通道对地的自电容的变化情况。当手指靠近或接触时,手指附近的通道的自电容会变大。例如图1所示,手指和其附近的横向通道C RXN-1会产生电容Cs,手指和其附近的纵向通道C TX1会产生电容Cd。由于人体是导体并且和地相连,手指触摸或接近的通道的自电容会发生变化,触控芯片根据检测到的自电容的变化,自电容的变化在这里也可以称为待测电容的变化,可以获得手指的触摸信息。这里,将图1中的横向通道记作RX通道,纵向通道记作TX通道,触摸屏中的横向通道和纵向通道也可以称为检测电极或者传感器(sensor)。 Figure 1 shows the horizontal and vertical two-layer channels in the touch screen. A capacitive touch system using this pattern can usually use both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance detection methods at the same time. When performing self-capacitance detection, the touch chip will scan the change of the self-capacitance to ground of each horizontal channel and vertical channel. When a finger approaches or touches, the self-capacitance of the channel near the finger becomes larger. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the finger and its nearby lateral channel C RXN-1 will generate capacitance Cs, and the finger and its nearby vertical channel C TX1 will generate capacitance Cd. Since the human body is a conductor and is connected to the ground, the self-capacitance of the channel touched or approached by the finger will change. According to the change of the self-capacitance detected by the touch chip, the change of the self-capacitance can also be called the change of the capacitance to be measured here. The touch information of the finger can be obtained. Here, the horizontal channel in FIG. 1 is referred to as an RX channel, and the vertical channel is referred to as a TX channel, and the horizontal and vertical channels in the touch screen may also be referred to as detection electrodes or sensors.

图3所示为现有技术中的另一自电容检测电路,该自电容检测电路300包括控制电路310、驱动电路321、抵消电路322,电荷转移电路323和处理电路330。控制电路310用于通过控制开关K1-K4,使得在第一阶段,抵消电路322对抵消电容Cc进行充电至Vcc以及驱动电路321对待测电容器210进行充电至Vcc,在第二阶段,待测电容器210和抵消电容Cc进行短接以实现电荷抵消。在第三阶段,电荷转移电路323将电荷转换为电压信号,使得在没有外界物体触摸的情况下,电荷转移模块输出的电压信号为0。实际情况下,由于外界环境的影响,输出电压很难达到0。在第四阶段,运算放大器3231复位。该方案虽然抵消了大部分待测电容器210中的基础电容Cx的大小,有比较好的灵敏度,但是由于开关在检测电路中不断被控制实现闭合,使得自电容检测电路易受到一系列谐波频点干扰,从而该自电容检测电路的抗显示器噪声和抗共模干扰的能力都比较差。FIG. 3 shows another self-capacitance detection circuit in the prior art.

放大电路401,放大电路401与触摸屏(也称触控屏)中的检测电极相连。所述放大电路包括运算放大器4011和T型电阻网络4012,所述运算放大器4011的反向输入端接收所述触摸信号,所述T型电阻网络4012的两端分别连接所述运算放大器4011的反向输入端和输出端,所述放大电路401用于根据所述触摸信号和所述抵消信号,输出电压信号。Amplifying

处理电路403,用于根据所述电压信号获得所述待测电容器的电容改变量。The
其中,所述T型电阻网络和所述抵消信号的参数被配置为使得在所述待测电容器相对于所述基础电容没有发生变化的情况下,所述放大电路输出的所述电压信号达到最小,以抵消所述待测电容器的基础电容。Wherein, the parameters of the T-type resistance network and the cancellation signal are configured such that the voltage signal output by the amplifying circuit reaches a minimum value under the condition that the capacitor to be measured does not change relative to the basic capacitance. , to cancel the base capacitance of the capacitor under test.
应理解,本申请实施例中所述的触控屏,可以认为是电子设备的屏幕中的触控层。电路设备的屏幕通常包括显示层和触控层,分别用于实现显示功 能和触控功能。所述放大电路输出的所述电压信号达到最小,可以理解为在没有手指触摸时,放大电路的输出电压为最小值。It should be understood that the touch screen described in the embodiments of the present application may be regarded as a touch layer in a screen of an electronic device. The screen of the circuit device usually includes a display layer and a touch layer, which are respectively used to realize the display function and the touch function. When the voltage signal output by the amplifying circuit reaches the minimum value, it can be understood that the output voltage of the amplifying circuit is the minimum value when there is no finger touch.
通常,对于单手指触摸的情况,电容变化量△C X和基础电容C X的比例约为7:10000,不同的屏幕该比例会有差异,基础电容C X会占用自电容检测电路的绝大部分的动态范围,使得放大电路的放大倍数受到限制,从而影响自电容检测的灵敏度。例如现有技术通过在运算放大器两端加入缓冲器,降低前后两级电路之间的相互干扰,提高电路的抗显示器噪声和抗共模干扰的能力,从而提高电路检测准确度,但是该电路比较复杂,缓冲器额外给电路带来了底噪。例如现有技术通过在自电容检测电路中增加抵消电容,并通过开关切换的方式控制抵消电容对待测电容器的基础电容的电荷量进行抵消,以提高自电容检测的灵敏度,但是由于在电路中引入了开关切换,使得电路容易受到一系列谐波频点的干扰,使得抗显示器噪声和抗共模干扰的能力都比较差。 Usually, for single-finger touch, the ratio of capacitance change △C X to the basic capacitance C X is about 7:10000, and the ratio will be different for different screens, and the basic capacitance C X will occupy the vast majority of the self-capacitance detection circuit. Part of the dynamic range limits the magnification of the amplifying circuit, thereby affecting the sensitivity of self-capacitance detection. For example, in the prior art, by adding buffers at both ends of the operational amplifier, the mutual interference between the front and rear circuits is reduced, and the anti-display noise and anti-common-mode interference capabilities of the circuit are improved, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the circuit. Complex, buffers add extra noise to the circuit. For example, in the prior art, the self-capacitance detection circuit is increased by adding an offset capacitor, and the offset capacitor is controlled by switching to offset the charge amount of the basic capacitor of the capacitor to be measured, so as to improve the sensitivity of self-capacitance detection. Because of the switch switching, the circuit is susceptible to the interference of a series of harmonic frequency points, which makes the anti-display noise and anti-common mode interference ability are relatively poor.

该自电容检测电路500对V1与Vcancel信号的差值进行放大,使用叠加定理,当Vtx2=0时,则自电容检测电路500的激励信号源为Vcancel,此时放大电路5011的输出电压值为Vout1:The self-capacitance detection circuit 500 amplifies the difference between the V1 and Vcancel signals. Using the superposition theorem, when Vtx2=0, the excitation signal source of the self-capacitance detection circuit 500 is Vcancel, and the output voltage of the amplifier circuit 5011 is Vcancel. Vout1:
当Vcancel=0时,该自电容检测电路500的激励信号源为Vtx2,其中,I R1和I R3分别代表流经电阻R1和电阻R3的电流,V1为驱动电阻和检测电极之间的电压,V2为电阻R1、R2和R3之间的节点的电压。此时自电容检测电路的输出电压值为Vout2: When Vcancel=0, the excitation signal source of the self-capacitance detection circuit 500 is Vtx2, wherein I R1 and I R3 represent the current flowing through the resistor R1 and the resistor R3 respectively, V1 is the voltage between the driving resistor and the detection electrode, V2 is the voltage at the junction between resistors R1, R2 and R3. At this time, the output voltage of the self-capacitance detection circuit is Vout2:
Vout2=V2+I R3*R3, Vout2=V2+I R3 *R3,
故放大电路501输出的电压值Vout为:Therefore, the voltage value Vout output by the amplifier circuit 501 is:
当手指没有触摸屏幕时,如果Vout=0V或者Vout接近0V,表示抵消电路的抵消信号源Vcancel完美的抵消了待测电容器210的基础电容Cx大小。When the finger does not touch the screen, if Vout=0V or Vout is close to 0V, it means that the cancellation signal source Vcancel of the cancellation circuit perfectly cancels the size of the basic capacitance Cx of the capacitor to be measured 210 .
在T型电阻网络中,一般取电阻R1=R3,那么有以下公式:In the T-type resistance network, generally take the resistance R1 = R3, then there is the following formula:

Let Rin=R1+2R2, when V cancel =V 1 , Vout=0V, the size of the cancellation signal source Vcancel perfectly cancels the size of the basic capacitance Cx of the capacitor under
令Rin=R1+2R2,R1=R3时,以上公式化简如下:When Rin=R1+2R2, R1=R3, the above formula is simplified as follows:
通过将电阻的参数设计成Rin=R1+2R2,使得当该电压信号Vout达到最 小即最接近0时,可以认为抵消电路5012实现了完美抵消,即能够抵消绝大部分的基础电容C
X。在理想情况下,当配置放大电路501的输入电阻Rin、第一电阻R1和第二电阻R2满足:Rin=R1+2R2时,以及配置抵消信号Vcancel与V1的幅度相同、相位相反时,抵消电路402的抵消效率可以达到100%,即完全抵消基础电容Cx。其中,V1和驱动信号Vtx2的关系满足:
By designing the parameters of the resistor as Rin=R1+2R2, when the voltage signal Vout reaches the minimum value, that is, it is closest to 0, it can be considered that the

当手指触摸或接近屏幕时,待测电容器210的电容量会增加ΔCx,电容变化量ΔCx会导致电压V1发生变化,为使得ΔCx变化时,V1有明显的变化,取Rin>>Rtx2以及Rin>>R2,当Rtx2=1/(SCx)时,V1发生的电压信号改变量ΔV1最大,对应Vout发生的电压信号改变量ΔVout也最大,其中,S=j2πf,j为复数单位,f为所述驱动信号的频率,Cx为所述待测电容的电容值。电压信号改变量ΔVout为:When the finger touches or approaches the screen, the capacitance of the capacitor 210 to be tested will increase by ΔCx, and the capacitance change ΔCx will cause the voltage V1 to change. In order to make the change of ΔCx, V1 has a significant change, take Rin>>Rtx2 and Rin> >R2, when Rtx2=1/(SCx), the voltage signal change ΔV1 generated by V1 is the largest, and the voltage signal change ΔVout corresponding to Vout is also the largest, where S=j2πf, j is a complex unit, and f is the The frequency of the driving signal, and Cx is the capacitance value of the capacitor to be measured. The voltage signal change amount ΔVout is:
当Rtx2=1/(SCx)时,电压信号改变量ΔV1最大,如图6所示,推导过程如下:When Rtx2=1/(SCx), the voltage signal change amount ΔV1 is the largest, as shown in Figure 6, the derivation process is as follows:
