Description

Touch sensing device and programmable controller thereof
Technical field
The utility model is relevant for a kind of touch sensing device, particularly relevant for a kind of programmable controller and use its touch sensing device.
Background technology
Along with the progress of semiconductor and circuit design technique, gradually adopted touch sensing device as man-machine interface in hand-held device or other electronic installations, the touch-control input signal that receives touch sensing device thus and produced.
Please with reference to Figure 1A, Figure 1A is a kind of functional block diagram of traditional touch sensing device.Touch sensing device 10 comprises contact panel 101 and controller 102, and wherein contact panel 101 for example is a projected capacitive touch panel.Contact panel 101 comprises many drive wire D0~D27 and many sense wire S0~S14; Wherein drive wire D0~D27 and sense wire S0~S14 hand over to form a sensing electrode array more, and the crossover point of each drive wire D0~D27 and each sense wire S0~S14 is that coupling forms an electric capacity (figure does not show).In addition, drive wire D0~D27 and sense wire S0~S14 are further through corresponding respectively driving pin position D0 '~D27 ' and sensing pin position the S0 '~S14 ' that is connected to controller 102 of lead.Thus; Controller 102 is able to produce in regular turn drive signal to drive wire D0~D27; And receive the sensing signal of sense wire S0~S14 in regular turn; And then change the zone of on contact panel 101, being touched with the interpretation user according to the appearance value that the sensing signal that is received calculates each electric capacity on the sensing electrode array.
In the design of traditional touch sensing device 10, often all be that contact panel 101 specifications (as: panel size, sensing resolution etc.) that demand is arranged earlier afterwards, arrange in pairs or groups by the controller of selecting again to be fit to 102.Yet; Controller 102 has specific standard when design; That is to say; Driving pin position the D0 '~D27 ' of controller 102 and the position, pin position of sensing pin position S0 '~S 14 ' promptly are changeless with quantity after the design completion, so each controller is difficult for being applicable to the contact panel of different size, and form more application limitations.To this, the manufacturer of controller tends to reserve as much as possible sensing pin position and/or drives the pin position when design, in the hope of supporting the contact panel of more multiple different size.For example, Figure 1A The controller 102 can be supported the contact panel of maximum 16 sense wires and 32 drive wires.
Though the design of above-mentioned reservation more sensing pin position and/or driving pin position can let controller have preferable application; But all in all; The position, pin position of the sensing pin position of controller and driving pin position and quantity are still fixing, and is therefore still not enough on application of elastic.Please with reference to Figure 1B, Figure 1B is the functional block diagram of another kind of traditional touch sensing device, is used for explaining that controller can't support a kind of practical situation of contact panel.Controller 112 among Figure 1B has 16 sensing pin position S0 '~S15 ' and 32 driving pin position D0 '~D31 ', but contact panel 111 has 18 sense wire S0~S 17 and 27 drive wire D0~D26.Thus, controller 112 will form all sense wire S0~S17 that sensing pin position S0 '~S15 ' is unable to cope with contact panel 111, and drives the situation that can't be suitable for of pin position D0 '~D31 ' more than all drive wire D0~D26 of contact panel 111.
