在本实施例中,本实施例的反混叠滤波器122包括运算放大器电路116、电容器C1、C2及C3以及电阻器R1、R2及R3。运算放大器电路116具有反相端、非反相端、及输出端。反相端耦合到电流镜电路114、电阻器R2的一端、及电容器C1的一端。非反相端耦合到共模电压VCM。电阻器R2的另一端耦合到电容器C2的一端、电阻器R3的一端、及电阻器R1的一端。电容器C1的另一端耦合到运算放大器电路116的输出端及电阻器R3的另一端。电容器C2的另一端及电阻器R1的另一端耦合到地电压。电压信号V2被输出到梳齿滤波器124。

图6示出根据本发明另一实施例的信号处理电路的方块图。参照图2及图6,本实施例的信号处理电路300相似于图2中所绘示信号处理电路100,且信号处理电路300与信号处理电路100之间的主要差别例如在于信号处理电路300还包括耦合到梳齿滤波器124的下采样电路340。
具体来说,本实施例的下采样电路340耦合在梳齿滤波器124与模拟-数字转换器130之间。下采样电路340接收电压信号V1并对电压信号V1执行下采样操作以向模拟-数字转换器130输出电压信号V3。本实施例的下采样电路340的下采样操作可参考现有技术中的常识来充分地教示、暗示、及实施,且因此本文中不再予以赘述。
在本实施例中,模拟-数字转换器130接收电压信号V3并基于第二操作频率f2(例如1.2MHz)将模拟格式的电压信号V3转换成数字格式的电压信号V3。在本实施例中,梳齿滤波器124可基于第一操作频率f1(例如2.4MHz)来进行操作。由于进行下采样操作,因此模拟-数字转换器130的第二操作频率f2降低。因此,模拟-数字转换器130的电路设计可简化,且成本降低。
综上所述,在本发明的示例性实施例中,信号处理电路可处理来自自电容触控面板或互电容触控面板的感测信号。模拟前端电路可通过电流镜向滤波电路输出电流信号以降低感测信号传递函数的复杂度。滤波电路可处理电流信号且包括反混叠滤波器及梳齿滤波器。反混叠滤波器与梳齿滤波器的组合可使所述滤波电路中用于电容器设计的电路区域减小。另外,信号处理电路还可包括下采样电路来处理梳齿滤波器的输出,以使得模拟-数字转换器的电路设计可简化。
对于本领域技术人员来说将显而易见,可在不背离本发明的范围或精神的条件下对本发明的结构作出各种润饰及变化。鉴于前述内容,旨在使本发明涵盖本发明的各种润饰及变化,只要所述润饰及变化落于以上权利要求书的范围及其等效范围内即可。
