Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a sensing circuit', particularly a sensing circuit for a capacitive touch panel. [Prior Art] At present, touch panels are widely used, such as mobile phones, screens for providing information inquiry in public places, automatic teller machines, etc. The intuitive operation replaces the functions of the keyboard and the mouse, and is quite convenient to use. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there are shown schematic diagrams of two capacitive touch panels 150, 250 sensing the touched position. In FIG. 1 , the capacitive touch panel 150 includes sensing lines in the X direction and the Y direction, that is, the sensing lines χ to the sensing lines X4 and the sensing lines 至 1 to □ 4 ′ each of the sensing lines respectively have a plurality of sensing lines. The sensing capacitance values of the electrodes (not shown)' respective sensing electrodes are represented by the sensing capacitance csense. When the no-touch event occurs, the value of the sensing capacitor Csense is zero. When a touch event occurs, the value of the sensing capacitor Csense is not equal to zero. m The capacitive touch panel 150 of Fig. 1 senses the touched position by scanning each of the scan lines into a sequence (SeqUentja丨). As shown in Fig. 2, the scanning order is scanned from the sensing line 丫1 to the sensing line 丫4, and then scanned from the sensing line center to the sensing line X4. For example, when the intersection of the sensing line X4 and the sensing line 丫1 is touched, the touched position is known by sensing the change in the capacitance value of the capacitor csense. Another sensing method scans only the scanning lines in a single direction, and the unscanning direction turns into a stimulating signal. As shown in FIG. 2, the capacitive touch panel 250 also includes sensing lines in the X direction and the γ direction. That is, the sensing line X1 to the sensing line X4 and the sensing line 丫1 to the sensing line 丫4, the scanning order is scanned from the sensing line X1 to the sensing line X4' and the sensing line A to the sensing line 丫4 are directly input to the excitation signal 3 201011620 '. That is, the sensing line 丫1 inputs the excitation signal, sequentially scans the sensing line X1 to the sensing line parent 4', then the sensing line 丫2 inputs the excitation signal, and then sequentially scans the sensing line father to the sensing line X4' and so on. Ctrans represents the sensing line X, and the coupling capacitance value between the sensing line '1. The sensing line C1 has a different value when the sensing line X1 and the sensing line 丫1 are touched and untouched. . As shown in the figure, the position of the touched position is known by checking where the capacitance of the sensing capacitor Ct rans changes. Referring to Fig. 3, the square circle of the sensing circuit ^ 100 in the conventional technique is integrated. The sensing circuit 1A includes a sensing unit 102 (sensing electrode), a sensing signal generating unit 104, and an integrator 106. The sensing unit 1〇2 has the sensing capacitance Csense of FIG. 1 or the sensing capacitance Ctrans of FIG. 2 for indicating the presence or absence of a capacitance value, when the capacitive touch panel 150 of FIG. 1 or When the capacitive touch panel 250 of FIG. 2 is touched, the capacitance value of the sensing unit 1 〇 2 is changed, and the sensing signal generating unit 1 〇 4 generates a sensing signal according to the change of the capacitance value. The voltage signal is input to the integrator 1〇6 to perform the integral' and the integral result is output to determine the position to be touched. ❹ However, the capacitive touch panel 彳5〇 of Figure 1 or the capacitive touch panel 250' of Figure 2 has the problem of noise affecting the sensing signal. As is well known in the art, the sensing unit 102 is fabricated on a sensing electrode substrate (not shown), and the sensing signal generating unit 1 〇 4 and the integrator 彳〇 6 are fabricated in an array of liquid crystal panels ( Array) on the substrate (not shown). A common voltage electrode (not shown) is provided between the sensing electrode substrate and the array substrate of the liquid crystal panel to provide a voltage level required for operation of the liquid crystal panel. When the liquid crystal panel is operated, the common voltage signal provided by the common voltage electrode is not clean, that is, it contains noise. For example, the pre-charging of the source busbar (not shown) when driving the liquid crystal panel (Pre- Charge) and the on and off actions of the switch will generate noise in 201011620. This noise will enter the sensing circuit 100 of FIG. 3 'Easy to cause the sensing circuit 100 to not sense the touched position or the sensing error. The problem has happened. Therefore, a method is needed to solve the above problem that the noise affects the sensing signal. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a sensing circuit for a capacitive touch panel by adding a path for noise to pass through, so that the noise is differentially processed through two paths having the same electrical condition. It can greatly reduce the size of the noise, so that the sensing ^5 signal can be correctly sensed. A sensing circuit for a capacitive touch panel according to the present invention includes a sensing signal portion, a reference signal portion, and an integrator. The sensing signal portion is configured to generate a sensing signal based on the capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel and receive a noise, and the capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel is touched and untouched. different. The reference signal portion is configured to receive the noise and output a reference signal, and has the same electrical condition as the sensing signal portion. The integrator is configured to receive the sensing signal and the reference signal to subtract the sensing signal and the reference signal, and generate a Φ-output signal. A sensing circuit for a capacitive touch panel according to the present invention includes a sensing signal path, a reference signal path, and a first differential amplifier. The sensing signal path is used to generate a sensing signal based on the capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel and receiving one of the noises, and the capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel is touched and untouched. different. The reference signal path is for receiving the noise and outputting a reference signal and having the same electrical condition as the sensing signal path. The first differential amplifier is configured to receive the sensing signal and the reference signal, subtract the sensing signal and the reference signal, and generate an output signal. 201011620 [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the technical content of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The sensing circuit 400 basically includes a sensing signal portion 411', a reference signal portion 421, and an integrator 406. The sensing signal portion 411 is configured to generate a sensing signal St based on the capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel and the received noise Snsise. The capacitance value of the capacitive touch panel is different when it is touched and not touched. The reference signal unit 421 is configured to receive noise

The reference signal portion 421 is an analog sensing signal portion 411 and has the same electrical conditions as the sensing signal portion 411. The integrator 406 is configured to receive the sensing signal St and the reference signal Snoise, and the characteristic is to integrate the difference between the two inputs, so the integrator 406 subtracts the sensing signal st and the reference signal Snoise', and generates a Output signal sout. The reference signal portion 421 has a capacitance value which is substantially equal to the capacitance value when the sensing signal portion 411 is not touched. The same electrical conditions of the sensing signal portion 411 and the reference signal portion 421 refer to the electronic components of the reference signal portion 421 and the equivalent circuit of the analog component of the analog sensing signal portion 411 to make the impedance of the two, The electrical characteristics such as the capacitance value are as uniform as possible, and the purpose is to make the noise Snoise pass through the same circuit, and ensure that the noise snoise passes through the sensing signal portion 411 and the reference signal portion 421 and enters the value of the integrator 406 as much as possible. The invention will be more readily understood, and the differences between the prior art and the present invention will be described below. Referring to Fig. 5, there is shown a circuit diagram of a first embodiment according to Fig. 4. This embodiment is a sensing circuit 500 in a capacitive touch panel for scanning one direction and then scanning another direction. The sensing signal unit 511 includes a sensing unit 6 201011620 • a unit 512 and a sensing signal generating unit 514. The reference signal unit 521 includes a reference unit 522 and a reference signal generating unit 524. The sensing unit 512 has a sensing capacitance value, that is, the capacitance value is represented by the sensing capacitance Csense. When the capacitive touch panel is not touched, the capacitance of the sensing capacitor Csense of the sensing unit 512 is zero. When the capacitive touch panel is touched, the capacitance of the sensing capacitor Csense is not zero. Further, the sensing unit 512 also has a parasitic capacitance Cpar1 having a parasitic capacitance value 'as the equivalent voltage value between the common voltage electrode 54A and the sensing electrode substrate'. The noise snoise Φ of the common voltage electrode 54 is coupled to the sensing unit 5彳2 via the parasitic capacitance Cpar1_. The sensing unit 512 receives the noise Snsise via the parasitic capacitance CpaM and has a first equivalent capacitance value or a second equivalent capacitance value. The first equivalent capacitance value is a capacitance value when the capacitive touch panel is touched (ie, a capacitance value of the sensing capacitor Csense) and an equivalent capacitance value of a capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance CpaM, and the second equivalent capacitance value is a capacitance The capacitance value of the touch panel when it is not touched (that is, the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor is zero) and the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance CpaM.

Control signal V Ding. _ is the additional signal 'when the reaction has no touch event (that is, the value of the sense capacitor C -), that is, the control signal VToggle is used to convert the first equivalent capacitance value or the second equivalent capacitance value into a signal The change is to indicate whether there is a touch event, wherein the control signal vToggle is coupled to the sensing signal generating unit 514 through a first reciprocal capacitor Cci. As for the noise snoise, the part S·! n〇jse generated by the CpaM coupling of the electricity generation valley is generated by the following formula (1): 7 201011620 f c ^
