Description

检测电路、芯片及相关电子装置Detection circuits, chips and related electronic devices 技术领域technical field
本申请是有关于一种检测电路,尤其涉及一种自容检测电路、芯片及相关电子装置。The present application relates to a detection circuit, and in particular, to a self-capacitance detection circuit, a chip and related electronic devices.
背景技术Background technique
电子产品中常涉及基于电容检测来进行各种人机交互。例如,在耳机中常会使用电容式的入耳检测来实现耳机的佩戴/脱落检测进而控制耳机是否进行音乐播放等各种操作,以及使用电容式的触控检测来实现单击、双击、滑动等手势识别,进而完成各种应用场景中的人机交互;再例如,在手机及车载触控中也会涉及基于电容检测来进行触摸检测或手势识别。然而,随着温度变化,检测的电容的电容值也会产生变化,而这种因为温度导致电容变化的现象常会在应用中造成错误的判断。举例来说,在耳机佩戴的过程中,环境温度会造成自电容本身的电容值的变化。这个变化很容易被误判为耳机佩戴、脱落、或者手指触控,从而引发误操作。Electronic products often involve various human-computer interactions based on capacitance detection. For example, in earphones, capacitive in-ear detection is often used to realize the wearing/dropping detection of earphones to control whether the earphones perform various operations such as music playback, and capacitive touch detection is used to realize gestures such as single click, double click, and slide. recognition, and then complete human-computer interaction in various application scenarios; for example, touch detection or gesture recognition based on capacitive detection is also involved in mobile phone and vehicle touch control. However, as the temperature changes, the capacitance value of the detected capacitor also changes, and this phenomenon of capacitance change due to temperature often leads to wrong judgments in applications. For example, in the process of wearing the headset, the ambient temperature will cause the capacitance value of the self-capacitance itself to change. This change can easily be misjudged as wearing, falling off, or touching the earphones, causing misoperation.
此外,在现有技术中,由于读取电路所读取到电容检测值实际上包括了温度所导致的电容值变化,因此为了预留温度所导致的电容值变化范围,读取电路所读取到的数值的有效感测范围相当有限,常会导致在依据电容检测值判别是否有人体接近时判断不准确或者导致依据电容检测值进行其它的应用的判断不准确。例如有效感测信号的信号量较小导致后端电路难以准确的识别该有效感测信号。In addition, in the prior art, since the capacitance detection value read by the reading circuit actually includes the capacitance value change caused by temperature, in order to reserve the capacitance value change range caused by temperature, the capacitance value read by the reading circuit The effective sensing range of the obtained value is quite limited, which often leads to inaccurate judgment when judging whether a human body is approaching based on the capacitance detection value or inaccurate judgment for other applications based on the capacitance detection value. For example, the signal amount of the valid sensing signal is small, which makes it difficult for the back-end circuit to accurately identify the valid sensing signal.

图1是先前技术的电容式入耳检测的示意图。在图1中,耳机的自容C SF的第一端可以是耳机机壳上的外侧极板ET,而自容C SF的第 二端可以是耳机机壳上的内侧极板IT。因此,当有人佩戴耳机时,耳朵会与外侧极板ET接触,此时人体的人体等效电容CB会通过外侧极板ET与自容C SF并联。在图1中,外侧极板ET接入读取电路SC,而内侧极板IT接地。此时读取电路SC读取到的电压会与温度所引起的电容变化以及人体接近时与自容C SF并联的人体等效电容C B有关。 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of prior art capacitive in-ear detection. In FIG. 1 , the first end of the self-capacitance C SF of the earphone may be the outer plate ET on the earphone casing, and the second end of the self-capacitance C SF may be the inner plate IT on the earphone casing. Therefore, when someone wears the earphone, the ear will be in contact with the outer electrode plate ET. At this time, the human body equivalent capacitance CB will be connected in parallel with the self-capacitance C SF through the outer electrode plate ET. In FIG. 1, the outer plate ET is connected to the reading circuit SC, and the inner plate IT is grounded. At this time, the voltage read by the reading circuit SC will be related to the capacitance change caused by the temperature and the human body equivalent capacitance CB connected in parallel with the self-capacitance C SF when the human body approaches.
然而,由于读取电路SC所读取的电压会与温度所引起的电容变化有关,因此读取电压的有效感测范围会受到一定的限制。图2是先前技术中,读取电压及电容值之间的关系图。在图2中,读取电压的范围可能在V1及V2之间,然而扣除掉因为温度引起的电容变化信号,实际上可以用来判断由于人体接近耳机导致读取的电容值的有效感测范围只在V3及V4之间。由于读取电路SC所读取的电压的有效感测范围受到相当的限制,因此先前技术的电容式入耳检测会不精准。However, since the voltage read by the read circuit SC is related to the capacitance change caused by temperature, the effective sensing range of the read voltage is limited to a certain extent. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the read voltage and the capacitance value in the prior art. In Figure 2, the range of the read voltage may be between V1 and V2. However, after deducting the capacitance change signal caused by temperature, it can actually be used to determine the effective sensing range of the capacitance value read due to the proximity of the human body to the earphone. Only between V3 and V4. Since the effective sensing range of the voltage read by the reading circuit SC is quite limited, the capacitive in-ear detection of the prior art may be inaccurate.
图3是本申请一实施例的检测电路100的示意图。在图3的实施例中,检测电路100可耦接于感测电容C S,感测电容C S本身虽具有固有电容值,然而当有人体接近或有温度变化时,检测电路100所感测到的感测电容C S的感测电容值将会有所变化,因此检测电路100可通过感测电容C S进行电容变化的检测以输出对应的检测电压信号VOUT。感测电容C S本身具有的固有电容值是指感测电容C S未受外界变化影响时,其自身所固有的初始电容值。举例来说,当人体接近感测电容C S时,人体的人体等效电容CB会与感测电容C S并联,此时感测电容C S的感测电容值会产生变化,而检测电压信号VOUT的值也会对应地改变。此外,本申请的检测电路100可以在读取电路读取检测电压信号VOUT之前,先消除温度对感测电容C S的电容值造成的影响,因此检测电压信号VOUT的有效动态范围较大使得后续在依据检测电路100所产生的检测电压信号VOUT以判断是否有人体接近感测电容C S时,能够得到更加准确的结果,其细节说明如下。 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a detection circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the detection circuit 100 can be coupled to the sensing capacitor C S . Although the sensing capacitor C S itself has an inherent capacitance value, when a human body approaches or the temperature changes, the detection circuit 100 senses The sensing capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S will vary, so the detection circuit 100 can detect the capacitance change through the sensing capacitor C S to output the corresponding detection voltage signal VOUT. The inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S itself refers to the inherent initial capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S when it is not affected by external changes. For example, when the human body is close to the sensing capacitor C S , the human body equivalent capacitance CB will be connected in parallel with the sensing capacitor C S. At this time, the sensing capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S will change, and the detection voltage signal will be detected. The value of VOUT will also change accordingly. In addition, the detection circuit 100 of the present application can eliminate the influence of temperature on the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S before the reading circuit reads the detection voltage signal VOUT. Therefore, the effective dynamic range of the detection voltage signal VOUT is large, so that subsequent When judging whether there is a human body approaching the sensing capacitor CS according to the detection voltage signal VOUT generated by the detection circuit 100, a more accurate result can be obtained, the details of which are described below.
在图3中,检测电路100可设置在电子装置的机壳(未绘示于图 中)中,也就是说,所述机壳可包覆检测电路100。在此情况下,感测电容C S可例如但不限于是所述机壳的至少一部分上的电极所形成的自电容,其中机壳上的电极可以是壳体上既有的导电件,或是在壳体上专门设置的电极。 In FIG. 3 , the detection circuit 100 may be disposed in a casing (not shown in the figure) of the electronic device, that is, the casing may enclose the detection circuit 100 . In this case, the sensing capacitance CS can be, for example, but not limited to, a self-capacitance formed by electrodes on at least a part of the casing, wherein the electrodes on the casing can be existing conductive members on the casing, or It is an electrode specially set on the shell.
此外,感测电容C S的第一端可以位于所述机壳的至少一部分的外侧,而感测电容C S的第二端可以位于所述机壳的至少一部分的内侧,举例来说,感测电容C S的第一端可以是机壳的外侧极板,而感测电容C S的第二端可以是机壳的内侧极板。如此一来,当人体接近所述机壳时,人体的人体等效电容CB会与感测电容C S的第一端相耦接,使得感测电容值产生变化。此外,本申请并不限定感测电容C S是由所述机壳形成的自容,在有些其他实施例中,根据使用情境的不同,感测电容C S也可能是电子装置中其他部件所形成的自容。所述人体接近耳机包括人体靠近或接触耳机。 In addition, the first end of the sensing capacitor C S may be located outside at least a portion of the casing, and the second end of the sensing capacitor C S may be located inside at least a portion of the casing. The first end of the sensing capacitor C S may be the outer plate of the casing, and the second end of the sensing capacitor C S may be the inner plate of the casing. In this way, when the human body approaches the casing, the human body equivalent capacitance CB of the human body is coupled to the first end of the sensing capacitor CS , so that the sensing capacitance value changes. In addition, the present application does not limit the sensing capacitor C S to be a self-capacitance formed by the casing. In some other embodiments, the sensing capacitor C S may also be the result of other components in the electronic device according to different usage scenarios. self-compassion formed. The human body approaching the earphone includes the human body approaching or touching the earphone.

在图4中,检测操作可包括第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2,第一阶段ST1可包括第一时段TP1、第二时段TP2及第三时段TP3,而第二阶段ST2可包括第四时段TP4、第五时段TP5及第六时段TP6。In FIG. 4, the detection operation may include a first stage ST1 and a second stage ST2, the first stage ST1 may include a first period TP1, a second period TP2 and a third period TP3, and the second stage ST2 may include a fourth period TP4, the fifth period TP5 and the sixth period TP6.
在第一阶段ST1中,检测电路100可将感测电容C S及储能件A1分别充电至特定的状态,并使感测电容C S及储能件A1共同耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,使得感测电容C S及储能件A1的内部电荷可进行重新分配。在第一阶段ST1中,第一输入端P1会被耦接至操作电压VDD,而第二输入端P2会被耦接至接地端GND。在储能件A1的电容值与感测电容C S的固有电容值相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的电压将只会与因人体接近及温度所引起的电容变化有关,而与感测电容C S的固有电容值及储能件A1的电容值无关,此时,差分积分器110会根据差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的电压在第一积分电容C2上进行积分。关于感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配的条件的细节将说明于后。 In the first stage ST1 , the detection circuit 100 can charge the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 to a specific state, respectively, and make the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 jointly coupled to the differential integration circuit 110 . The input terminal NS1 enables redistribution of the internal charges of the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1. In the first stage ST1, the first input terminal P1 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD, and the second input terminal P2 is coupled to the ground terminal GND. Under the condition that the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1 matches the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S , the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 will only be related to the capacitance change caused by the proximity of the human body and the temperature. Regardless of the inherent capacitance of the sensing capacitor C S and the capacitance of the energy storage element A1 , the differential integrator 110 integrates on the first integrating capacitor C2 according to the voltage at the input NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 . Details about the conditions for matching the sensing capacitor C S to the energy storage element A1 will be described later.
接着,在第二阶段ST2中,检测电路100会对感测电容C S及储能件A1进行充电,并使感测电容C S及储能件A1共同耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,使得感测电容C S及储能件A1的内部电荷可进行重新分配。然而,在第二阶段ST2中,第一输入端P1会被耦接至接地端GND,而第二输入端P2会被耦接至操作电压VDD。由于人体通常会处于接地状态,因此当人体接近第一输入端P1时,人体等效电容C B的两端都将处于接地状态,在此情况下,人体等效电容C B就不会造成感测电容值的变化。如此一来,在感测电容C S的固有 电容值与储能件A1的电容值相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的电压将只会与因为温度而引起的电容变化有关,而与感测电容C S的固有电容值及储能件A1的电容值无关。此外,在第二阶段ST2中,差分积分器110会根据差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的电压在第二积分电容C3上进行积分。 Next, in the second stage ST2, the detection circuit 100 charges the sensing capacitor C S and the energy storage element A1, and makes the sensing capacitor C S and the energy storage element A1 jointly coupled to the input end of the differential integrating circuit 110 NS1, so that the internal charge of the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1 can be redistributed. However, in the second stage ST2, the first input terminal P1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second input terminal P2 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD. Since the human body is usually in a grounded state, when the human body is close to the first input terminal P1, both ends of the human body equivalent capacitance C B will be in a grounded state. In this case, the human body equivalent capacitance C B will not cause inductance. Change in capacitance value. In this way, under the condition that the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S matches the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1 , the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 will only be related to the capacitance change caused by temperature. , and has nothing to do with the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S and the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1 . In addition, in the second stage ST2 , the differential integrator 110 performs integration on the second integration capacitor C3 according to the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 110 .
由于第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2是分别在差分放大器112的正输入端及负输入端上进行电荷积分,因此在第二阶段ST2完成时所输出的检测电压信号VOUT将会是两阶段的电荷积分相减的结果。也就是说,差分积分电路110会依据差分积分电路110的输入端NS1在第一阶段的电压值与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1在第二阶段的电压值的差值产生检测电压信号。在理想情况下,在第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2中,因为温度引起的电容变化所造成的误差将会互相抵消,因此在第二阶段ST2完成时,检测电压信号VOUT只会与人体等效电容C B所引起的电容变化有关。如此一来,检测电压信号VOUT就不会包括温度引起的无用的电容信号,而只与人体接近引起的有效电容信号有关,因此检测电压信号VOUT可提供更准确的参考数值。 Since the first stage ST1 and the second stage ST2 perform charge integration on the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the differential amplifier 112 respectively, the detection voltage signal VOUT outputted when the second stage ST2 is completed will be two-stage The result of charge integral subtraction. That is, the differential integrator circuit 110 generates the detection voltage signal according to the difference between the voltage value of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 in the first stage and the voltage value of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 in the second stage. Ideally, in the first stage ST1 and the second stage ST2, the errors caused by the capacitance change caused by temperature will cancel each other out, so when the second stage ST2 is completed, the detection voltage signal VOUT will only be the same as that of the human body, etc. It is related to the capacitance change caused by the effective capacitance CB . In this way, the detection voltage signal VOUT does not include the useless capacitance signal caused by temperature, but is only related to the effective capacitance signal caused by the proximity of the human body, so the detection voltage signal VOUT can provide a more accurate reference value.
此外,读取检测电压信号VOUT的读取电路通常会包括模拟数字转换电路(analog-digital converter),因此检测电路100可以根据模拟数字转换电路所需的电压规格,而连续执行多次的检测操作,以根据感测电容值,将检测电压信号VOUT逐步积分至适合模拟数字转换电路操作的预定检测范围。In addition, the reading circuit for reading the detection voltage signal VOUT usually includes an analog-digital converter, so the detection circuit 100 can continuously perform multiple detection operations according to the voltage specification required by the analog-to-digital conversion circuit , so as to gradually integrate the detection voltage signal VOUT to a predetermined detection range suitable for the operation of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit according to the sensing capacitance value.
再者,由于检测电路100在输出检测电压信号VOUT时,已经自动抵消了温度引起的电容变化,因此在后续使用模拟数字转换电路进行数值的判读时,就可以不需预留空间给温度所造成的电容变化,换句话说,检测电压信号VOUT的整个数值都可以有效地用来判读人体接近所造成的电容变化,从而增加可有效判读数值的范围,即达到提高有效感测范围的目的,且可避免读取电路里模拟数字转换器饱和。Furthermore, since the detection circuit 100 has automatically canceled the capacitance change caused by temperature when outputting the detection voltage signal VOUT, it is not necessary to reserve space for the temperature caused by the subsequent use of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit to interpret the value. In other words, the entire value of the detection voltage signal VOUT can be effectively used to interpret the capacitance change caused by the proximity of the human body, thereby increasing the range of effectively judging reading values, that is, to achieve the purpose of increasing the effective sensing range, and This avoids saturation of the analog-to-digital converter in the readout circuit.
第一阶段ST1的第一时段TP1中可包括步骤S310至S315。Steps S310 to S315 may be included in the first period TP1 of the first stage ST1.

S315:使第六切换电路SW6截止储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接。S315 : Turn off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage device A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 by the sixth switching circuit SW6 .
在完成步骤S310至S315之后,储能件A1的第一端会耦接至接地端GND,而储能件A1的第二端会耦接至操作电压VDD;感测电容C S的第一端会耦接至操作电压VDD,而感测电容C S的第二端会耦接至接地端GND。此时,储能件A1及感测电容C S会对应地被充电。 After completing steps S310 to S315, the first end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD; the first end of the sensing capacitor C S It is coupled to the operating voltage VDD, and the second terminal of the sensing capacitor CS is coupled to the ground terminal GND. At this time, the energy storage device A1 and the sensing capacitor CS will be charged accordingly.
在第一阶段ST1中,接续在第一时段TP1之后的第二时段TP2中可包括步骤S320至S323。In the first stage ST1, steps S320 to S323 may be included in the second period TP2 following the first period TP1.
S320:使第三切换电路SW3截止差分积分电路110的输入端NS1及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S320: Turn off the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 110 and the operating voltage VDD by the third switching circuit SW3;
S321:使第四切换电路SW4截止储能件A1的第一端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S321: Make the fourth switching circuit SW4 cut off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground end GND;
S322:使第六切换电路SW6导通储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;及S322: Make the sixth switching circuit SW6 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110; and
S323:使第五切换电路SW5导通储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及截止储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD 之间的电性连接,使感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷重新分配。 S323: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn on the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD, The sense capacitance CS is redistributed with the charge in the energy storage device A1.
也就是说,在第一时段TP1之后的第二时段TP2中,感测电容C S的第一端与储能件A1的第一端都会耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,因此感测电容C S及储能件A1中的电荷将进行重新分配,而差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X可如式(1)表示,其中C1是储能件A1的电容值。 That is to say, in the second time period TP2 after the first time period TP1, the first end of the sensing capacitor CS and the first end of the energy storage element A1 are both coupled to the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110, so the sense The charge in the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 will be redistributed, and the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 can be expressed as equation (1), where C1 is the capacitance value of the energy storage device A1.
Figure PCTCN2021073195-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2021073195-appb-000001
在感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配的情况下,端电压V X将与感测电容C S及储能件A1的电容值C1无关。举例来说,若储能件A1的电容值C1是感测电容C S的固有电容值三分之一,则式(1)将可改写为式(2)。 Under the condition that the sensing capacitor CS matches the energy storage element A1, the terminal voltage V X will be independent of the sensing capacitor CS and the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1. For example, if the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1 is one third of the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor CS , then the equation (1) can be rewritten as the equation (2).
Figure PCTCN2021073195-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2021073195-appb-000002
也就是说,差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X实质上可相等于1/2倍的操作电压VDD。在有些实施例中,共模电压VCM也可等于1/2倍的操作电压VDD。 That is to say, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 may be substantially equal to 1/2 times the operating voltage VDD. In some embodiments, the common mode voltage VCM may also be equal to 1/2 times the operating voltage VDD.
在有些实施例中,由于检测电路100及机壳可能分别是由不同的厂商制作或设计,因此在制作检测电路100时,可能尚无法预知感测电容C S的大小为何。在此情况下,储能件A1可包括可变电容或电容阵列,如此一来,当使用者在得知感测电容C S的大小之后,就可以依据感测电容C S的固有电容值,并通过控制信号来设定可变电容或 电容阵列的电容值,以使储能件A1的电容值C1能够与感测电容C S相匹配,例如使储能件A1的电容值C1约为感测电容C S的固有电容值的三分之一。如此一来,就能够使差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X保持在接近操作电压VDD的二分之一,而使检测电路100的准确度较不会因为感测电容C S的固有电容值大小不同而受到影响。 In some embodiments, since the detection circuit 100 and the casing may be manufactured or designed by different manufacturers, it may not be possible to predict the size of the sensing capacitor C S when the detection circuit 100 is fabricated. In this case, the energy storage device A1 may include a variable capacitor or a capacitor array. In this way, after the user knows the size of the sensing capacitor CS , he can And set the capacitance value of the variable capacitor or capacitor array through the control signal, so that the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1 can be matched with the sensing capacitor C S , for example, the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1 is about the same as the sensing capacitance C S. One-third of the inherent capacitance value of the measuring capacitor C S. In this way, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 can be kept close to half of the operating voltage VDD, so that the accuracy of the detection circuit 100 will not be affected by the difference of the sensing capacitor C S . The inherent capacitance value is affected by different sizes.
此外,在图4中,第六控制信号K6是在第三控制信号K3由高电位变为低电位之后才自低电位变为高电位,而第四控制信号K4是在第六控制信号K6由低电位变为高电位之后才自高电位变为低电位,以确保感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷不会在进行重新分配时转移至外部。然而本申请并不以此为限,在有些实施例中,当第三控制信号K3由高电位变为低电位时,第六控制信号K6可同时自低电位变为高电位,而当第六控制信号K6自低电位变为高电位时,第四控制信号K4也可同时自高电位变为低电位。在有些实施例中,第四控制信号K4及第五控制信号K5可以是互补的控制信号,因此第四控制信号K4及第五控制信号K5也会同步变换电位。 In addition, in FIG. 4 , the sixth control signal K6 changes from a low level to a high level after the third control signal K3 changes from a high level to a low level, and the fourth control signal K4 changes from a low level to a high level after the sixth control signal K6 The low potential is changed from the high potential to the low potential, so as to ensure that the charges in the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 are not transferred to the outside during redistribution. However, the present application is not limited to this. In some embodiments, when the third control signal K3 changes from a high level to a low level, the sixth control signal K6 can simultaneously change from a low level to a high level, and when the sixth control signal K3 changes from a high level to a low level at the same time When the control signal K6 changes from a low level to a high level, the fourth control signal K4 can also change from a high level to a low level at the same time. In some embodiments, the fourth control signal K4 and the fifth control signal K5 may be complementary control signals, so the fourth control signal K4 and the fifth control signal K5 also change potentials synchronously.
在第一阶段ST1中,接续在第二时段TP2之后的第三时段TP3中可包括步骤S330至S331。In the first stage ST1, steps S330 to S331 may be included in the third period TP3 following the second period TP2.
S330:使第七切换电路SW7导通差分放大器110的第一输入端及差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;及S330: Make the seventh switching circuit SW7 turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 110 and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110; and
S331:使第十切换电路SW10导通差分放大器110的第二输入端及共模电压VCM之间的电性连接,以通过第一积分电容C2进行积分。S331 : Make the tenth switching circuit SW10 conduct the electrical connection between the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 110 and the common mode voltage VCM, so as to perform integration through the first integrating capacitor C2 .
在第二时段TP2之后的第三时段TP3中,差分放大器112的第一输入端可耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,而差分放大器112的第二输入端可耦接至共模电压VCM,并可通过第一积分电容C2进行积分。在第三时段TP3中,第七控制信号K7信号处在高电位的时间长短会与第一积分电容C2所需的积分时间有关,举例来说,第七控制信号K7信号处在高电位的时间长度可以设定为大于或等于足 以让第一积分电容C2完成积分且足以使差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO趋于稳定的时间长度。In the third period TP3 after the second period TP2, the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 112 may be coupled to the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110, and the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 112 may be coupled to the common mode voltage VCM, and can be integrated through the first integrating capacitor C2. In the third period TP3, the length of time that the seventh control signal K7 is at a high level is related to the integration time required by the first integrating capacitor C2. For example, the time when the seventh control signal K7 is at a high level The length may be set to be greater than or equal to a time length sufficient for the first integration capacitor C2 to complete the integration and for the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 to become stable.
在理想的情况下,也就是在没有温度或人体接近造成电容变化,且感测电容C S的固有电容值与储能件A1的电容值相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X将等于1/2倍的VDD,而与共模电压VCM相同,此时第一积分电容C2中将不会有电荷转移。 In an ideal situation, that is, when there is no capacitance change caused by temperature or the proximity of the human body, and the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S matches the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1, the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 The terminal voltage V X will be equal to 1/2 times of VDD, which is the same as the common mode voltage VCM, and there will be no charge transfer in the first integrating capacitor C2 at this time.
然而,当有人体接近及/或有温度变化而导致感测电容值产生变化时,人体的人体等效电容CB及温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T会使得第一输入端P1及第二输入端P2之间所感测到的感测电容值产生变化,此时端电压V X也会随之变动,导致有部分电荷移入或移出第一积分电容C2,其中转移的电荷量ΔQ1可如式(3)表示。 However, when a human body approaches and/or a temperature change causes a change in the sensing capacitance value, the human body equivalent capacitance CB and the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by the temperature will cause the first input terminal P1 and the second input terminal P1 to change. The sensed capacitance value sensed between the terminals P2 changes, and the terminal voltage V X also changes accordingly, resulting in part of the charge moving into or out of the first integrating capacitor C2, where the amount of transferred charge ΔQ1 can be expressed as ( 3) indicates.

在此情况下,当检测操作的第一阶段ST1结束后,差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO会因为人体接近时与感测电容C S并联的人体等效电容C B以及温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T的影响而被提升,而差分放大器112的第二输出端的电压VNO则会产生等量而反向变化。在图4中,电压VPO及VNO的虚线部分是在有温度导致电容变化但没有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器112的第一输出端及第二输出端所输出的电压,而电压VPO及VNO的实线部分是在有温度且有人体接近导致电容变化的情况下,差分放大器112的第一输出端及第二输出端所输出的电压。 In this case, after the first stage ST1 of the detection operation ends, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 will be caused by the human body equivalent capacitance CB connected in parallel with the sensing capacitance CS when the human body approaches and the temperature The capacitance change value ΔC T is increased by the influence, and the voltage VNO of the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 will have an equal and opposite change. In FIG. 4 , the dotted line parts of the voltages VPO and VNO are the voltages output by the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 under the condition that the capacitance changes due to temperature but no human body approaches, while the voltages VPO and VNO The solid line part of is the voltage output by the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 under the condition that the capacitance changes due to the temperature and the proximity of a human body.
在第二阶段ST2的第四时段TP4中可包括步骤S340至S345。Steps S340 to S345 may be included in the fourth period TP4 of the second stage ST2.
S340:使第一切换电路SW1截止第一输入端与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,及导通第一输入端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S340: Make the first switching circuit SW1 turn off the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 110, and turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the ground terminal GND;

S343:使第四切换电路SW4导通储能件A1的第一端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S343: Make the fourth switching circuit SW4 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground end GND;
S344:使第五切换电路SW5截止储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及导通储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;及S344: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn on the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD; and
S345:使第六切换电路SW6截止储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接。S345: Turn off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 by the sixth switching circuit SW6.
在步骤S340至S345完成后,储能件A1的第一端会耦接至接地端GND,而储能件A1的第二端会耦接至操作电压VDD;感测电容C S的第一端会耦接至接地端GND,而感测电容C S的第二端会耦接至操作电压VDD。此时,储能件A1及感测电容C S会对应地被充电。此外,在第二阶段ST2的第四时段TP4中,第七切换电路SW7至第十切换电路SW10都会截止对应的电性连接。 After steps S340 to S345 are completed, the first end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD; the first end of the sensing capacitor C S is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second terminal of the sensing capacitor CS is coupled to the operating voltage VDD. At this time, the energy storage device A1 and the sensing capacitor CS will be charged accordingly. In addition, in the fourth period TP4 of the second stage ST2, the seventh switching circuit SW7 to the tenth switching circuit SW10 all turn off the corresponding electrical connections.
在第二阶段ST2中,接续在第四时段TP4之后的第五时段TP5中可包括步骤S350至S353。In the second stage ST2, steps S350 to S353 may be included in the fifth period TP5 following the fourth period TP4.
S350:使第三切换电路SW3截止差分积分电路110的输入端NS1及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S350: Turn off the electrical connection between the input end NS1 of the differential integration circuit 110 and the operating voltage VDD by the third switching circuit SW3;
S351:使第四切换电路SW4截止储能件A1的第一端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S351: Make the fourth switching circuit SW4 cut off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground end GND;
S352:使第六切换电路SW6导通储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;及S352: Make the sixth switching circuit SW6 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110; and
S353:使第五切换电路SW5导通储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及截止储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD之间的电性连接,使感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷重新 分配。 S353: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn on the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD, The sense capacitance CS is redistributed with the charge in the energy storage device A1.
在第四时段TP4之后的第五时段TP5中,感测电容C S的第一端与储能件A1的第一端都会耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,因此感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷将进行重新分配,而差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X仍如式(1)表示。在感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配的情况下,例如当储能件A1的电容值C1为感测电容C S的固有电容值的三分之一时,端电压V X可改写为式(2)。 In the fifth time period TP5 after the fourth time period TP4, the first end of the sensing capacitor C S and the first end of the energy storage element A1 are both coupled to the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110, so the sensing capacitor C S The charge in the energy storage element A1 will be redistributed, and the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 110 is still expressed as equation (1). In the case where the sensing capacitor C S matches the energy storage element A1, for example, when the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1 is one third of the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S , the terminal voltage V X can be rewritten is formula (2).
在第二阶段ST2中,接续在第五时段TP5之后的第六时段TP6中可包括步骤S360至S361。In the second stage ST2, steps S360 to S361 may be included in a sixth period TP6 following the fifth period TP5.
S360:使第八切换电路SW8导通差分放大器110的第一输入端及共模电压VCM之间的电性连接;及S360: Make the eighth switching circuit SW8 turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 110 and the common mode voltage VCM; and
S361:使第九切换电路SW9导通差分放大器110的第二输入端及差分积分电路110的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,以通过第二积分电容C3进行积分。S361 : Make the ninth switching circuit SW9 conduct the electrical connection between the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 110 and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 110 , so as to perform integration through the second integrating capacitor C3 .
在第五时段TP5之后的第六时段TP6中,差分放大器112的第一输入端可耦接至共模电压VCM,而差分放大器112的第二输入端可耦接至差分积分电路110的输入端NS1,并可通过第二积分电容C3进行积分。在理想的情况下,若感测电容C S与储能件A1的电容值C1相匹配,则差分积分电路110的输入端NS1的端电压V X将等于1/2倍的VDD,而与共模电压VCM相同,此时在第二积分电容C3中将不会有电荷转移。 In the sixth period TP6 after the fifth period TP5, the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 112 may be coupled to the common mode voltage VCM, and the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 112 may be coupled to the input terminal of the differential integrating circuit 110 NS1, and can be integrated through the second integrating capacitor C3. In an ideal situation, if the sensing capacitor C S matches the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage element A1, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 110 will be equal to 1/2 times VDD, which is different from the common mode The voltage VCM is the same, and there will be no charge transfer in the second integrating capacitor C3 at this time.
此外,由于在第四时段TP4中,第一输入端P1会通过第一切换电路SW1而被耦接至接地端GND,因此即使在有人体接近第一输入端P1的情况下,人体等效电容C B的两端都会处于接地状态,而不会对感测电容值造成影响。然而,当有温度变化时,温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T仍会使得第一输入端P1及第二输入端P2之间所感测到的感测电容值产生变化,此时端电压V X也会随之变动,导致有部分电荷移入或移出第二积分电容C3,其中转移的电荷量ΔQ2可如式(4)表示。 In addition, in the fourth period TP4, since the first input terminal P1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND through the first switching circuit SW1, even when a human body is close to the first input terminal P1, the equivalent capacitance of the human body Both ends of C B will be grounded without affecting the sensing capacitance value. However, when there is a temperature change, the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by the temperature will still cause the sensing capacitance value sensed between the first input terminal P1 and the second input terminal P2 to change. At this time, the terminal voltage V X It will also change accordingly, causing part of the charge to move into or out of the second integrating capacitor C3, where the amount of charge ΔQ2 transferred can be expressed as equation (4).

也就是说,当检测操作的第二阶段ST2结束后,差分放大器112的第二输出端的电压VNO会因为温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T所造成的电荷转移而被提升,而差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO则会产生等量而反向变化。由于在第二阶段ST2所产生的转移电荷量ΔQ2只与温度所造成的电容变化有关而与人体接近时并联至感测电容C S的人体等效电容CB无关,因此在没有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO原先在第一阶段ST1中因为温度造成电容变化而上升的部分将会与第二阶段ST2中因温度造成电容变化而下降的部分抵消,如图4中的虚线所示。 That is to say, after the second stage ST2 of the detection operation ends, the voltage VNO of the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 will be boosted due to the charge transfer caused by the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by the temperature, while the voltage of the differential amplifier 112 The voltage VPO of the first output terminal will have an equal and opposite change. Since the amount of transferred charge ΔQ2 generated in the second stage ST2 is only related to the capacitance change caused by the temperature and has nothing to do with the equivalent capacitance CB of the human body connected in parallel to the sensing capacitor CS when the human body is close, therefore, in the case of no human body approaching , the part of the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 that originally increased due to the capacitance change caused by temperature in the first stage ST1 will cancel the part that decreased due to the capacitance change caused by temperature in the second stage ST2, as shown in FIG. 4 . shown by the dotted line.
相对地,在有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO原先在第一阶段ST1中因为温度造成的电容变化而上升的部分虽然会与第二阶段ST2中因温度造成的电容变化而下降的部分抵消,然而差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO在第一阶段ST1中因为人体接近时并联至感测电容C S的人体等效电容CB而上升的部分则不会被抵消,因此在图4中,用来表示电压VPO的实线在第二阶段ST2完成后不会完全降低至共模电压VCM。 In contrast, in the case of a human body approaching, the part of the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 that originally increased due to the capacitance change caused by temperature in the first stage ST1 will be different from that caused by temperature in the second stage ST2. The part that decreases due to the capacitance change cancels out, but the part of the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 that rises in the first stage ST1 because the human body is connected in parallel to the human body equivalent capacitance CB of the sensing capacitor C S when the human body approaches it will not be cancel, so in FIG. 4, the solid line used to represent the voltage VPO does not completely drop to the common mode voltage VCM after the second stage ST2 is completed.
在有些实施例中,在第二阶段ST2完成后,差分放大器112的第一输出端的电压VPO可通过式(5)表示,而在第一积分电容C2与第二积分电容C3具有相同电容值的情况下,检测电路100所输出的检测电压信号VOUT则可通过式(6)表示。In some embodiments, after the second stage ST2 is completed, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 112 can be expressed by equation (5). In this case, the detection voltage signal VOUT output by the detection circuit 100 can be represented by the formula (6).

也就是说,在检测操作的第二阶段ST2完成后,检测电压信号VOUT因为温度引起电容变化所造成的误差将可获得补偿,因此检测电压信号VOUT可以更加准确地表现出人体接近时对感测电容值所造成的变化。That is to say, after the second stage ST2 of the detection operation is completed, the error of the detection voltage signal VOUT caused by the temperature-induced capacitance change will be compensated, so the detection voltage signal VOUT can more accurately represent the sensitivity of the detection voltage signal VOUT when the human body approaches. changes caused by the capacitance value.
在有些实施例中,检测电路100可以连续执行多次的检测操作,使得检测电压信号可以被逐步积分至预定检测范围。举例来说,在检测电路100连续执行了M次的检测操作之后,检测电压信号VOUT将会变为M·VDD(C B/C2)。如此一来,就可以通过调整执行次数,将检测电压信号VOUT调整至适当的数值范围,使得后续用以判读的电路,例如但不限于为模拟数字转换器,能够较为精准地判读数据。 In some embodiments, the detection circuit 100 can continuously perform multiple detection operations, so that the detection voltage signal can be gradually integrated to a predetermined detection range. For example, after the detection circuit 100 continuously performs detection operations M times, the detection voltage signal VOUT will become M·VDD(C B /C2 ). In this way, the detection voltage signal VOUT can be adjusted to an appropriate value range by adjusting the number of executions, so that the subsequent circuit for interpretation, such as but not limited to an analog-to-digital converter, can more accurately interpret the data.
图5是检测电路100所输出的检测电压信号VOUT及先前技术的检测电压信号VPR的比较图。在图5中,检测电压信号VOUT在经过第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2的操作之后,会使检测电压信号VOUT中,因为温度造成电容变化所导致的误差获得补偿,因此检测电压信号VOUT可以比较直接地呈现出因为人体接近所导致的感测电容值变化。相较之下,在先前技术中,由于检测电压信号VPR并未在读取之前对温度造成的电容变化进行补偿,因此检测电压信号VPR不仅会与人体接近所导致的感测电容值变化有关,也会与温度引起的电容变化有关。此外,在连续执行多次检测操作之后,先前技术的检测电压信号VPR中与温度引起的电容变化有关的部分也会持续被累积,导致致读取数值的动态范围较为限缩。FIG. 5 is a comparison diagram of the detection voltage signal VOUT output by the detection circuit 100 and the detection voltage signal VPR of the prior art. In FIG. 5 , after the detection voltage signal VOUT goes through the operations of the first stage ST1 and the second stage ST2, the error in the detection voltage signal VOUT caused by the capacitance change caused by temperature is compensated, so the detection voltage signal VOUT can be It directly shows the change of the sensing capacitance value due to the proximity of the human body. In contrast, in the prior art, since the detection voltage signal VPR does not compensate the capacitance change caused by temperature before reading, the detection voltage signal VPR is not only related to the change of the sensing capacitance value caused by the proximity of the human body, but also Also related to temperature-induced capacitance changes. In addition, after multiple detection operations are performed continuously, the portion of the detection voltage signal VPR in the prior art related to the temperature-induced capacitance change will continue to be accumulated, resulting in a limited dynamic range of the read value.
然而,由于检测电路100可以在读取电路读取检测电压信号VOUT之前,先减少检测电压信号VOUT中温度造成的电容变化所导致的误差,因此在经过多次的检测操作之后,检测电压信号VOUT仍然只会与人体接近所导致的感测电容值变化有关。如此一来,就可以增加用以判读检测电压信号VOUT的有效感测范围,而在耳机的入耳测试过程中,也可以依据检测电压信号VOUT而更精准地判断出是否有人体接近耳机。However, since the detection circuit 100 can reduce the error caused by the capacitance change caused by the temperature in the detection voltage signal VOUT before the reading circuit reads the detection voltage signal VOUT, after several detection operations, the detection voltage signal VOUT It is still only related to the change in the sensing capacitance value caused by the proximity of the human body. In this way, the effective sensing range for interpreting the detection voltage signal VOUT can be increased, and during the in-ear test of the earphone, whether there is a human body approaching the earphone can be more accurately determined according to the detection voltage signal VOUT.

在图7中,检测操作可包括第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2,第一阶段ST1可包括第一时段TP1、第二时段TP2及第三时段TP3,而第二阶段ST2可包括第四时段TP4、第五时段TP5及第六时段TP6。In FIG. 7, the detection operation may include a first stage ST1 and a second stage ST2, the first stage ST1 may include a first period TP1, a second period TP2 and a third period TP3, and the second stage ST2 may include a fourth period TP4, the fifth period TP5 and the sixth period TP6.
在第一阶段ST1中,检测电路200可将感测电容C S及储能件A1分别充电至特定的状态,并使感测电容C S及储能件A1共同耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,使得感测电容C S及储能件A1的内部电荷可进行重新分配。在感测电容C S的固有电容值与储能件A1的电容值相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的电压将只会与人体接近第一输入端P1时所引起的电容变化以及因为温度而引起的电容变化有关,此时,差分积分器210会根据差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的电压在第一积分电容C2上进行积分。 In the first stage ST1 , the detection circuit 200 can charge the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 to a specific state, respectively, and make the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 jointly coupled to the differential integration circuit 210 . The input terminal NS1 enables redistribution of the internal charges of the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1. Under the condition that the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S matches the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1 , the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 210 will only match the capacitance caused when the human body approaches the first input terminal P1 The change is related to the capacitance change caused by temperature. At this time, the differential integrator 210 will perform integration on the first integration capacitor C2 according to the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 .
接着,在第二阶段ST2中,检测电路200会对感测电容C S及储能件A1进行充电。接着,检测电路200可使感测电容C S及储能件A1共同耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,此时感测电容C S及储能件A1的内部电荷将会进行重新分配。由于在第二阶段ST2中,第一输入端P1会被耦接至接地端GND,且人体通常会处于接地状态,因此在第二阶段ST2中,当人体接近第一输入端P1时,人体等效电容C B的两端都将处于接地状态。在此情况下,与感测电容C S并联的人体等效电容C B不会造成感测电容值的变化。如此一来,在感测电容C S的固有电容值与储能件A1的电容值相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的电压将只会与因为温度而引起的电容变化 有关,而与人体接近第一输入端P1时与感测电容C S并联的的人体等效电容C B无关。 Next, in the second stage ST2, the detection circuit 200 charges the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1. Next, the detection circuit 200 can enable the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1 to be coupled to the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210. At this time, the internal charges of the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1 will be redistributed. . Since in the second stage ST2, the first input terminal P1 will be coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the human body is usually in a grounded state, so in the second stage ST2, when the human body is close to the first input terminal P1, the human body, etc. Both ends of the effective capacitor C B will be grounded. In this case, the human body equivalent capacitance C B connected in parallel with the sensing capacitance C S does not cause a change in the sensing capacitance value. In this way, under the condition that the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S matches the capacitance value of the energy storage element A1 , the voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 210 will only be related to the capacitance change caused by temperature. , and has nothing to do with the human body equivalent capacitance C B connected in parallel with the sensing capacitance C S when the human body is close to the first input end P1 .
此外,由于在第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2中,储能件A1的充电方向相反,因此在对差分积分器210的第一积分电容C2进行积分时,电荷转移的方向也会相反。也就是说,在第二阶段ST2完成时检测电路200所输出的检测电压信号VOUT将会是两阶段的电荷积分相减的结果,而在理想情况下,在第一阶段ST1及第二阶段ST2中,因为温度引起的电容变化所造成的误差将会互相抵消,因此检测电压信号VOUT只会与人体等效电容C B所引起的电容变化有关。如此一来,检测电压信号VOUT就可以提供更准确的参考数值,减少因为温度引起的电容变化所造成的误差,进而增加检测电压信号VOUT可供判读的有效感测范围。 In addition, in the first stage ST1 and the second stage ST2, the charging direction of the energy storage device A1 is opposite, so when integrating the first integrating capacitor C2 of the differential integrator 210, the direction of charge transfer is also opposite. That is to say, when the second stage ST2 is completed, the detection voltage signal VOUT output by the detection circuit 200 will be the result of the two-stage charge integration and subtraction. Ideally, in the first stage ST1 and the second stage ST2 , because the errors caused by the capacitance change caused by temperature will cancel each other out, so the detection voltage signal VOUT is only related to the capacitance change caused by the human body equivalent capacitance CB . In this way, the detection voltage signal VOUT can provide a more accurate reference value, reduce errors caused by capacitance changes caused by temperature, and further increase the effective sensing range for the detection voltage signal VOUT to be interpreted.
在第一阶段ST1的第一时段TP1中可包括步骤S410至S417。Steps S410 to S417 may be included in the first period TP1 of the first stage ST1.
S410:使第一切换电路SW1导通第一输入端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,及截止第一输入端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S410: Turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 by the first switching circuit SW1, and turn off the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the ground terminal GND;

S416:使第十一切换电路SW11截止差分积分电路210的输入端NS1 及接地端GND之间的电性连接;及S416: Make the eleventh switching circuit SW11 turn off the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 and the ground terminal GND; and
S417:使第十二切换电路SW12截止储能件A1的第一端及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接。S417: Turn off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage device A1 and the operating voltage VDD by the twelfth switching circuit SW12.
在完成步骤S410至S418之后,储能件A1的第一端会耦接至接地端GND,而储能件A1的第二端会耦接至操作电压VDD;感测电容C S的第一端会耦接至操作电压VDD,而感测电容C S的第二端会耦接至接地端GND。此时,储能件A1及感测电容C S会对应地被充电。 After steps S410 to S418 are completed, the first end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second end of the energy storage element A1 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD; the first end of the sensing capacitor C S It is coupled to the operating voltage VDD, and the second terminal of the sensing capacitor CS is coupled to the ground terminal GND. At this time, the energy storage device A1 and the sensing capacitor CS will be charged accordingly.
在第一阶段ST1中,接续在第一时段TP1之后的第二时段TP2中可包括步骤S420至S423。In the first stage ST1, steps S420 to S423 may be included in the second period TP2 following the first period TP1.
S420:使第三切换电路SW3截止差分积分电路210的输入端NS1及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S420: Turn off the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 and the operating voltage VDD by the third switching circuit SW3;
S421:使第四切换电路SW4截止储能件A1的第一端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S421: Make the fourth switching circuit SW4 cut off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground end GND;
S422:使第六切换电路SW6导通储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;及S422: Make the sixth switching circuit SW6 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210; and
S423:使第五切换电路SW5导通储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及截止储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD之间的电性连接,使感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷重新分配。 S423: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn on the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD, The sense capacitance CS is redistributed with the charge in the energy storage device A1.
也就是说,在第一时段TP1之后的第二时段TP2中,感测电容C S的第一端与储能件A1的第一端都会耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,因此感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷将进行重新分配。在此情况下,检测电路200在图7中时段TP1及TP2的操作与检测电路100在图4中时段TP1及TP2的操作相似,因此检测电路200的差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的端电压V X也可通过式(1)来表示。 That is to say, in the second time period TP2 after the first time period TP1, the first end of the sensing capacitor CS and the first end of the energy storage element A1 are both coupled to the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, so the sense The charge in the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage device A1 will be redistributed. In this case, the operation of the detection circuit 200 in the periods TP1 and TP2 in FIG. 7 is similar to the operation of the detection circuit 100 in the periods TP1 and TP2 in FIG. 4 , so the terminal voltage of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 of the detection circuit 200 is detected V X can also be represented by the formula (1).
此外,在感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配的情况下,端电压V X将可与感测电容C S与储能件A1的电容值C1无关。举例来说,若储能件A1的电容值C1是感测电容C S的固有电容值的三分之一,则差 分积分电路210的输入端NS1的端电压V X可改以式(2)表示。 In addition, in the case that the sensing capacitor CS matches the energy storage element A1, the terminal voltage V X will be independent of the capacitance value C1 of the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1. For example, if the capacitance value C1 of the energy storage device A1 is one third of the inherent capacitance value of the sensing capacitor C S , the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210 can be changed to Equation (2) express.
在第一阶段ST1中,接续在第二时段TP2之后的第三时段TP3中可包括步骤S430。In the first stage ST1, step S430 may be included in a third period TP3 following the second period TP2.
S430:使第七切换电路SW7导通差分放大器110的第一输入端及差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,以通过第一积分电容C2进行积分。S430 : Make the seventh switching circuit SW7 turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 110 and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210 to perform integration through the first integrating capacitor C2 .
在第二时段TP2之后的第三时段TP3中,差分放大器212的第一输入端可耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,而差分放大器212的第一输入端可耦接至共模电压VCM,因此差分放大器212可通过第一积分电容C2进行积分。在理想的情况下,也就是在没有温度或人体接近造成电容变化,且感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配的情况下,差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的端电压V X将等于1/2倍的VDD,而与共模电压VCM相同,此时第一积分电容C2中将不会产生电荷转移。 In the third period TP3 after the second period TP2, the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 212 may be coupled to the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, and the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 212 may be coupled to the common mode voltage VCM, so the differential amplifier 212 can integrate through the first integrating capacitor C2. In an ideal situation, that is, when there is no capacitance change caused by temperature or the proximity of the human body, and the sensing capacitor C S matches the energy storage device A1, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 210 will be equal to 1/2 times of VDD, and the same as the common mode voltage VCM, at this time, no charge transfer will occur in the first integrating capacitor C2.
然而,当有人体接近及/或有温度变化而导致感测电容值产生变化时,人体的人体等效电容CB及温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T会使得第一输入端P1及第二输入端P2之间所感测到的感测电容值产生变化,此时端电压V X也会随之变动,导致有部分电荷移入或移出第一积分电容C2,其中转移的电荷量ΔQ1可如式(3)表示。 However, when a human body approaches and/or a temperature change causes a change in the sensing capacitance value, the human body equivalent capacitance CB and the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by the temperature will cause the first input terminal P1 and the second input terminal P1 to change. The sensed capacitance value sensed between the terminals P2 changes, and the terminal voltage V X also changes accordingly, resulting in part of the charge moving into or out of the first integrating capacitor C2, where the amount of transferred charge ΔQ1 can be expressed as ( 3) indicates.
在图7中,电压VPO及VNO的虚线部分是在有温度导致电容变化但没有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器212的第一输出端及第二输出端所输出的电压,而电压VPO及VNO的实线部分是在有温度变化且有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器212的第一输出端及第二输出端所输出的电压。In FIG. 7 , the dotted line parts of the voltages VPO and VNO are the voltages output by the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 under the condition that the capacitance changes due to temperature but no human body approaches, while the voltages VPO and VNO The solid line part of is the voltage output by the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 when there is a temperature change and a human body is approaching.
在第二阶段ST2的第四时段TP4中可包括步骤S440至S447。Steps S440 to S447 may be included in the fourth period TP4 of the second stage ST2.
S440:使第一切换电路SW1截止第一输入端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,及导通第一输入端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S440: Make the first switching circuit SW1 turn off the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210, and turn on the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the ground terminal GND;
S441:使第二切换电路SW2导通第二输入端与差分积分电路210的 输入端NS1之间的电性连接,及截止第二输入端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S441: make the second switching circuit SW2 conduct the electrical connection between the second input terminal and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, and cut off the electrical connection between the second input terminal and the ground terminal GND;
S442:使第三切换电路SW3截止差分积分电路210的输入端NS1及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S442: Turn off the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 and the operating voltage VDD by the third switching circuit SW3;
S443:使第四切换电路SW4截止储能件A1的第一端与接地端GND之间的电性连接;S443: Make the fourth switching circuit SW4 cut off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground end GND;
S444:使第五切换电路SW5导通储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及截止储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S444: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn on the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD;
S445:使第六切换电路SW6截止储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;S445: Make the sixth switching circuit SW6 turn off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210;
S446:使第十一切换电路SW11导通差分积分电路210的输入端NS1及接地端GND之间的电性连接,使感测电容C S被放电至接地端GND;及 S446: Make the eleventh switching circuit SW11 conduct the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 and the ground terminal GND, so that the sensing capacitor CS is discharged to the ground terminal GND; and
S447:使第十二切换电路SW12导通储能件A1的第一端及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接。S447: Make the twelfth switching circuit SW12 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage device A1 and the operating voltage VDD.
在步骤S440至S447完成后,储能件A1的第一端会耦接至操作电压VDD,而储能件A1的第二端会耦接至接地端GND;感测电容C S的第一端会耦接至接地端GND,而感测电容C S的第二端会耦接至接地端GND。此时,储能件A1及感测电容C S会对应地被充电。 After steps S440 to S447 are completed, the first end of the energy storage device A1 is coupled to the operating voltage VDD, and the second end of the energy storage device A1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND; the first end of the sensing capacitor C S is coupled to the ground terminal GND, and the second terminal of the sensing capacitor CS is coupled to the ground terminal GND. At this time, the energy storage device A1 and the sensing capacitor CS will be charged accordingly.
在第二阶段ST2中,接续在第四时段TP4之后的第五时段TP5中可包括步骤S450至S453。In the second stage ST2, steps S450 to S453 may be included in the fifth period TP5 following the fourth period TP4.
S450:使第十一切换电路SW11截止差分积分电路210的输入端NS1及接地端GND之间的电性连接;S450: Turn off the electrical connection between the input terminal NS1 of the differential integration circuit 210 and the ground terminal GND by the eleventh switching circuit SW11;
S451:使第十二切换电路SW12截止储能件A1的第一端及操作电压VDD之间的电性连接;S451: Make the twelfth switching circuit SW12 cut off the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage device A1 and the operating voltage VDD;
S452:使第六切换电路SW6导通储能件A1的第一端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接;及S452: Make the sixth switching circuit SW6 conduct the electrical connection between the first end of the energy storage element A1 and the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210; and
S453:使第五切换电路SW5截止储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,及导通储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDDS453: Make the fifth switching circuit SW5 turn off the electrical connection between the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the ground terminal GND, and turn on the second end of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD
之间的电性连接,使感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷重新分配。 The electrical connection between them redistributes the charges in the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage element A1.
在第四时段TP4之后的第五时段TP5中,感测电容C S的第一端与储能件A1的第一端都会耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,因此感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷将会重新分配。接着,在第六切换电路SW6导通储能件的第一端与差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接后,第五切换电路SW5可截止储能件A1的第二端与接地端GND之间的电性连接,并可导通储能件A1的第二端与操作电压VDD之间的电性连接。由于储能件A1的第二端会被抬升至操作电压VDD,因此储能件A1的第一端的电压也会随之被抬升至两倍的操作电压2VDD,而在感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷完成重新分配之后,差分积分电路110的输入端的端电压V X最终将可由式(7)表示。 In the fifth time period TP5 after the fourth time period TP4, the first end of the sensing capacitor C S and the first end of the energy storage element A1 are both coupled to the input end NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, so the sensing capacitor C S The charge in the energy storage device A1 will be redistributed. Next, after the sixth switching circuit SW6 turns on the electrical connection between the first terminal of the energy storage element and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210 , the fifth switching circuit SW5 can turn off the second terminal of the energy storage element A1 and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210 . The electrical connection between the ground terminals GND can turn on the electrical connection between the second terminal of the energy storage element A1 and the operating voltage VDD. Since the second end of the energy storage device A1 will be raised to the operating voltage VDD, the voltage of the first end of the energy storage device A1 will also be raised to twice the operating voltage 2VDD . After the redistribution of the charges in the energy storage element A1 is completed, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal of the differential integration circuit 110 will finally be represented by equation (7).

在图7的第五时段TP5中,第六控制信号K6是在第十一控制信号K11由高电位变为低电位之后才自低电位变为高电位,以确保感测电容C S与储能件A1中的电荷不会在进行重新分配时转移至外部。 然而在有些实施例中,当第十一控制信号K11由高电位变为低电位时,第六控制信号K6也可同时自低电位变为高电位。此外,第四控制信号K4是在第六控制信号K6由低电位变为高电位之后才自低电位变为高电位,以在重新分配电荷的过程中,使储能件A1的第二端及第二端的电位能够进一步抬升。 In the fifth time period TP5 of FIG. 7 , the sixth control signal K6 changes from the low level to the high level after the eleventh control signal K11 changes from the high level to the low level, so as to ensure the sensing capacitor CS and the energy storage. The charge in element A1 is not transferred to the outside during redistribution. However, in some embodiments, when the eleventh control signal K11 changes from a high level to a low level, the sixth control signal K6 can also change from a low level to a high level at the same time. In addition, the fourth control signal K4 changes from a low level to a high level after the sixth control signal K6 changes from a low level to a high level, so that the second end of the energy storage device A1 and the The potential of the second terminal can be further raised.
在第二阶段ST2中,接续在第五时段TP5之后的第六时段TP6中可包括步骤S460至S461。In the second stage ST2, steps S460 to S461 may be included in a sixth period TP6 following the fifth period TP5.
S460:使第七切换电路SW7导通差分放大器212的第一输入端及差分积分电路210的输入端NS1之间的电性连接,以通过第一积分电容C2进行积分;及S460: Make the seventh switching circuit SW7 conduct the electrical connection between the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 212 and the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, so as to integrate through the first integrating capacitor C2; and
S461:使差分放大器212的第一输出端及第二输出端输出检测电压信号VOUT。S461: Enable the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 to output the detection voltage signal VOUT.
在第五时段TP5之后的第六时段TP6中,差分放大器212的第一输入端可耦接至差分积分电路210的输入端NS1,而差分放大器212的第二输入端可耦接至共模电压VCM,并可通过第一积分电容C2进行积分。在理想的情况下,若感测电容C S与储能件A1相匹配,则差分积分电路210的输入端NS1的端电压V X将等于1/2倍的VDD,而与共模电压VCM相同,此时在第一积分电容C2中将不会有电荷转移。 In the sixth period TP6 after the fifth period TP5, the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 212 may be coupled to the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrating circuit 210, and the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 212 may be coupled to the common mode voltage VCM, and can be integrated through the first integrating capacitor C2. In an ideal situation, if the sensing capacitor C S matches the energy storage device A1, the terminal voltage V X of the input terminal NS1 of the differential integrator circuit 210 will be equal to 1/2 times of VDD, which is the same as the common mode voltage VCM, At this time, there will be no charge transfer in the first integrating capacitor C2.
此外,由于在第四时段TP4中,第一输入端P1会通过第一切换电路SW1而被耦接至接地端GND,因此即使在有人体接近到第一输入端P1的情况下,人体等效电容C B的两端都会处于接地状态,而不会对感测电容值造成影响。然而,当有温度变化时,温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T仍会使得第一输入端P1及第二输入端P2之间的感测电容值产生变化,此时端电压V X也会随之变动,导致有部分电荷移入或移出第一积分电容C3,其中转移的电荷量ΔQ2可如式(9)表示。 In addition, since the first input terminal P1 is coupled to the ground terminal GND through the first switching circuit SW1 in the fourth period TP4, even when a human body approaches the first input terminal P1, the human body is equivalent to Both ends of the capacitor C B will be grounded without affecting the sensing capacitance value. However, when there is a temperature change, the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by the temperature will still cause the sensing capacitance value between the first input terminal P1 and the second input terminal P2 to change. At this time, the terminal voltage V X will also change with The change causes part of the charge to move into or out of the first integrating capacitor C3, where the amount of charge ΔQ2 transferred can be expressed as Equation (9).

根据式(9)可知,在第二阶段ST2所产生的转移电荷量ΔQ2会与温度所导致的电容变化值ΔC T呈负相关,且转移电荷量ΔQ2只与温度所导致的电容变化有关而与人体接近时与感测电容C S并联的人体等效电容CB无关,因此在没有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器212的第一输出端的电压VPO原先在第一阶段ST1中因为温度造成电容变化而上升的部分将会与第二阶段ST2中因温度造成电容变化而下降的部分抵消,如图7中的虚线所示。 According to equation (9), it can be seen that the amount of transferred charge ΔQ2 generated in the second stage ST2 is negatively correlated with the capacitance change value ΔC T caused by temperature, and the amount of transferred charge ΔQ2 is only related to the capacitance change caused by temperature and is related to the change in capacitance caused by temperature. When the human body approaches, it has nothing to do with the human body equivalent capacitance CB connected in parallel with the sensing capacitor C S. Therefore, in the case of no human body approaching, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 was originally changed in the first stage ST1 due to the capacitance change caused by the temperature. The rising part will cancel the falling part due to the temperature-induced capacitance change in the second stage ST2 , as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 7 .
相对地,在有人体接近的情况下,差分放大器212的第一输出端的电压VPO原先在第一阶段ST1中因为温度造成电容变化而上升的部分虽然会与第二阶段ST2中因温度造成电容变化而下降的部分抵消,然而差分放大器212的第一输出端的电压VPO在第一阶段ST1中因为人体接近时并联至感测电容C S的人体等效电容CB而上升的部分则不会被抵消,因此在图7中,在第二阶段ST2完成后,电压VPO的实线不会完全降低至共模电压VCM。因此,在检测电路200完成了检测操作的第二阶段ST2之后,差分放大器212的第一输出端的电压VPO仍如式(5)表示,而检测电路200所输出的检测电压信号VOUT则可通过式(6)表示。 In contrast, in the case of a human body approaching, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 originally increased due to the capacitance change caused by temperature in the first stage ST1, although the capacitance change caused by temperature in the second stage ST2 will be different. However, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 in the first stage ST1 and the rising part of the voltage VPO which is connected in parallel with the human body equivalent capacitance CB of the sensing capacitor C S when the human body approaches, will not be cancelled. Therefore, in FIG. 7, after the second stage ST2 is completed, the solid line of the voltage VPO does not completely decrease to the common mode voltage VCM. Therefore, after the detection circuit 200 completes the second stage ST2 of the detection operation, the voltage VPO of the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 is still represented by the formula (5), and the detection voltage signal VOUT output by the detection circuit 200 can be expressed by the formula (6) indicates.
也就是说,在第二阶段ST2完成后,检测电压信号VOUT因为温度造成电容变化所造成的误差将可获得补偿,因此可以更加准确地表现出人体接近时感测电容值的变化。That is to say, after the second stage ST2 is completed, the error of the detection voltage signal VOUT caused by the capacitance change caused by temperature can be compensated, so that the change of the sensing capacitance value when the human body approaches can be more accurately represented.
在有些实施例中,检测电路200可以连续执行多次的检测操作,使得检测电压信号可以被逐步积分至预定检测范围。举例来说,在检测电路200连续执行了M次的检测操作之后,检测电压信号VOUT将会变为M·VDD(C B/C2)。如此一来,就可以通过调整执行次数,将检测电压信号VOUT调整至适当的数值范围,使得后续用以判读的电路能够较为精准地判读数据。 In some embodiments, the detection circuit 200 can continuously perform multiple detection operations, so that the detection voltage signal can be gradually integrated to a predetermined detection range. For example, after the detection circuit 200 continuously performs detection operations M times, the detection voltage signal VOUT will become M·VDD(C B /C2 ). In this way, the detection voltage signal VOUT can be adjusted to an appropriate value range by adjusting the number of executions, so that the subsequent circuit for interpreting can interpret the data more accurately.
在图6中,差分积分电路210可另包括第一重置开关RSW1。第一重置开关RSW1可耦接于差分放大器212的第一输入端及第一输出端,第一重置开关RSW1可以在重置操作中,导通差分放大器212 的第一输入端及第一输出端之间的电性连接,使第一积分电容C2进行放电。此外,在检测操作中,第一重置开关RSW1则可截止差分放大器212的第一输入端及第一输出端之间的电性连接,以便第一积分电容C2能够执行电荷积分操作。In FIG. 6, the differential integration circuit 210 may further include a first reset switch RSW1. The first reset switch RSW1 can be coupled to the first input terminal and the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 , and the first reset switch RSW1 can turn on the first input terminal and the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 during the reset operation. The electrical connection between the output terminals makes the first integrating capacitor C2 discharge. In addition, in the detection operation, the first reset switch RSW1 can cut off the electrical connection between the first input terminal and the first output terminal of the differential amplifier 212 so that the first integrating capacitor C2 can perform the charge integration operation.
综上所述,本申请的实施例所提供的检测电路可以在检测电压信号被读取之前,通过与感测电容相匹配的储能件对温度导致电容变化的误差进行补偿,使得检测电压信号可以更精准地呈现出人体接近时感测电容值的变化。如此一来,在后续使用模拟数字转换电路进行数值的判读时,模拟数字转换电路就无需预留空间给温度导致的电容变化,以达到增加模拟数字转换电路的有效感测范围的目的,进而也可以增加电容检测信号的准确性及依据电容检测信号进行后续的应用的判断的准确性。例如,基于电容检测信号进行触控检测、电容式的入耳检测、电容式的压力检测等操作更准确。To sum up, the detection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application can use the energy storage element matched with the sensing capacitor to compensate the temperature-induced capacitance change error before the detection voltage signal is read, so that the detection voltage signal is The change of the sensing capacitance value when the human body approaches can be presented more accurately. In this way, in the subsequent use of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit for numerical interpretation, the analog-to-digital conversion circuit does not need to reserve space for the capacitance change caused by temperature, so as to increase the effective sensing range of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit. The accuracy of the capacitance detection signal and the accuracy of subsequent application judgment based on the capacitance detection signal can be increased. For example, operations such as touch detection, capacitive in-ear detection, and capacitive pressure detection based on capacitive detection signals are more accurate.

Since the voltage detection signal generated by the detection circuit in the chip and the electronic device can accurately represent the change of the sensing capacitance value when the human body approaches, without being disturbed by the temperature change, it can be used for capacitive touch detection , capacitive in-ear detection, capacitive pressure detection, etc., and the chip and electronic device of the present application can perform subsequent operations, such as answering a call, playing or pausing music, etc. according to different applications.
