本發明為指紋識別之有關技術領域,尤指一種感測信號讀出電路,受控於一微控制單元從而自一電容感測模組讀出感應電容信號。The present invention is in the technical field related to fingerprint identification, and in particular, refers to a sensing signal readout circuit controlled by a microcontrol unit to read out the sensing capacitance signal from a capacitance sensing module.
已知,電容式指紋識別裝置已被廣泛地應用於各式電子產品之中。傳統上,電容式指紋識別裝置通常設置在一移動智能終端(如:智慧型手機)正面或背面。然而,隨著智慧型手機朝向全屏幕化發展,電容式指紋識別裝置和電源鍵共用位置,從而發展成側邊電容式指紋識別裝置。圖1即顯示習知的一種全屏幕智慧型手機的側視圖。如圖1所示,一電容式指紋識別裝置2a設置在該全屏幕智慧型手機1a的側邊。進一步地,圖2為圖1所示之側邊式的電容式指紋識別裝置2a的示意性立體圖。一般而言,該電容式指紋識別裝置2a包括一電容感測模組20a以及一指紋識別電路21a,其中該指紋識別電路21a包括一電路基板210a與一指紋識別晶片211a,且該指紋識別晶片211a內含一感測信號讀取電路及一微控制單元。It is known that capacitive fingerprint recognition devices have been widely used in various electronic products. Traditionally, a capacitive fingerprint recognition device is usually installed on the front or back of a mobile smart terminal (such as a smartphone). However, as smartphones develop toward full-screen devices, capacitive fingerprint recognition devices share the same location as the power button, thus developing into side-side capacitive fingerprint recognition devices. Figure 1 shows a side view of a conventional full-screen smartphone. As shown in Figure 1, a capacitive
圖3為圖2所示之電容感測模組20a的側剖視圖。如圖2與圖3所示,該電容感測模組20a通常包括一基板201a、設於該基板201a之上的一電容感測器陣列202a、以及一表面覆層203a。進一步地,圖4為圖3所示之電容感測器陣列202a的側剖視圖。如圖4所示,所述電容感測器陣列202a由一表面覆層203a所覆蓋,且包括M×N個第一金屬板M1a。當一手指按壓在該表面覆層203a之上時,所述第一金屬板M1a和該手指之間會形成一感應電容(Cs1, Cs2,……,Csn)。因此,可將所述第一金屬板M1a定義為感測畫素。FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the
圖5為圖2所示之電容感測模組20a的上視圖。請同時參閱圖5、圖2與圖1,隨著智慧型手機越來越輕,設置在手機側邊的電容式指紋識別裝置2a的寬度也被迫縮減,導致其電容感測模組20a的有效識別區域(Active area, AA)越來越小。目前,AA區域的寬度已經從3mm降低至1.5mm甚至更低。FIG. 5 is a top view of the
更詳細地說明,圖6為習知的一個電荷放大器單元的電路拓樸圖。一般而言,整合在圖2所示的指紋識別晶片211a之中的感測信號讀出電路包含複數個電荷放大器單元。如圖6所示,所述電荷放大器單元212a包括:一運算放大器21OPa、一反饋電容CFa、一第一開關S1a、一第二開關S2a、以及一基準電容。值得注意的是,在有手指觸摸的情況下,電荷放大器單元212a自電容感測模組20a讀出的電容值為ΔC,在圖6的電路中以電容Csa表示。同時,圖6還繪出所謂的寄生電容Cpa,其中寄生電容Cpa代表一個第一金屬板M1a的對地寄生電容。To explain in more detail, FIG. 6 is a circuit topology diagram of a conventional charge amplifier unit. Generally speaking, the sensing signal readout circuit integrated in the
研究發現,受到邊緣效應的影響,越靠近電容感測模組20a邊緣的感測畫素(第一金屬板M1a)所附帶的寄生電容越大;反之,越靠近電容感測模組20a中心的感測畫素所附帶的寄生電容則越小。若電容感測模組20a包含M×N個感測畫素,則第j列的N個寄生電容的電容值大小可由下式(1)表示:
……
……
………(1)
The study found that due to the edge effect, the parasitic capacitance attached to the sensing pixel (first metal plate M1a) closer to the edge of the
同時,由於受邊緣效應影響,越靠近電容感測模組20a邊緣的感測畫素的感應電容Cs的信號量也同樣會比較大。如圖7所示,按第1行至第N行讀出感應電容Cs的信號量之後,可以發現感測數據的灰階強度出現中間低且兩邊高的現象。感測數據如圖8所示,越靠近邊沿,圖像越黑(信號量),最終成為黑邊。因此,若利用此電容感測模組20a感測手指指紋,則讀出的圖像會因為邊沿區域的信號量過大而出現飽和,從而造成圖像失真。At the same time, due to the influence of the edge effect, the signal amount of the sensing capacitance Cs of the sensing pixel closer to the edge of the
目前的解決方案是將電容感測模組20a最外側的1~2行作為dummy感測畫素,以確保感測數據讀出且轉換成灰階指紋圖像之後不會出現黑邊(即,圖像失真),之後再利用圖像處理軟體對採集到的灰階指紋圖像進行修復。然而,這樣的方式會使動態範圍和信噪比下降,並非理想的解決方案。The current solution is to use the outermost 1~2 rows of the
由上述說明可知,本領域亟需一種新式的感測信號讀出電路。From the above description, it can be seen that a new sensing signal readout circuit is urgently needed in this field.

圖9為具有本發明之一種指紋識別裝置的一智慧型手機的側視圖。並且,圖10為本發明之一種指紋識別裝置的示意性立體圖。如圖9與圖10所示,本發明之指紋識別裝置2應用在一智慧型手機1之中,從而作為一側邊式的電容式指紋識別裝置,且包括:一電容感測模組20與一指紋識別電路21,其中該指紋識別電路21包括一電路基板210與一指紋識別晶片211,且該指紋識別晶片211內含一感測信號讀取電路及一微控制單元。進一步地,圖11為圖10所示之電容感測模組20的示意性側剖視圖。如圖10與圖11所示,該電容感測模組20包括:一基板201、設於該基板201之上的一電容感測器陣列202、以及覆於該電容感測器陣列202之上的一表面覆層(Passivation)203。Figure 9 is a side view of a smart phone equipped with a fingerprint identification device of the present invention. Moreover, FIG. 10 is a schematic perspective view of a fingerprint identification device according to the present invention. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the
圖12為圖11所示之電容感測器陣列202的側剖視圖,且圖13為圖11所示之基板201與電容感測器陣列202的上視圖。如圖12與圖13所示,在該電容感測器陣列202之中,M×N個第一金屬板M1係作為M×N個感測畫素,其中,M和N皆為正整數。依此設計,當一手指按壓在該表面覆層203之上時,所述第一金屬板M1和該手指之間會形成一感應電容(Cs1, Cs2,……,Csn)。因此,M×N個第一金屬板M1即為該電容感測模組20所具有之M×N個感測畫素。FIG. 12 is a side cross-sectional view of the
更詳細地說明,圖10所示之指紋識別電路21包括一感測信號讀取電路和一微控制單元。在可行的實施例中,所述感測信號讀取電路和所述微控制單元整合成為如圖10所示之指紋識別晶片211,其中,該感測信號讀取電路包括M×N個電荷放大器單元以及與該M×N個電荷放大器單元分別耦接的M×N個電容補償單元。圖14即顯示一個電荷放大器單元與一個電容補償單元的第一電路拓樸圖。如圖14所示,所述電荷放大器單元212包括:一運算放大器21OP、一反饋電容CF、一第一開關SW1、以及一第二開關SW2。另一方面,所述電容補償單元213包括:一補償電容CB、一第三開關SW3、以及一第四開關SW4。To explain in more detail, the
如圖14與圖13所示,所述感測信號讀出電路更包括:M×N個補償信號產生單元214,係用以產生M×N個補償信號以分別傳送至M×N個所述補償電容CB。依據本發明之設計,各所述補償信號皆具有一補償電壓Vc,且每一列的N個所述補償電壓Vc係具有一電壓值分布。As shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 13 , the sensing signal readout circuit further includes: M×N compensation
同時,圖14還繪出所謂的寄生電容Cp,其中所述寄生電容Cp代表一個第一金屬板M1的對地寄生電容。實務經驗發現,越靠近電容感測模組20邊緣的感測畫素(第一金屬板M1)所附帶的寄生電容越大;反之,越靠近電容感測模組20中心的感測畫素所附帶的寄生電容則越小。同時,受到邊緣效應的影響,越靠近電容感測模組20邊緣的感測畫素的感應電容Cs的信號量也同樣會比較大。如圖7所示,按第1行至第N行讀出感應電容Cs的信號量之後,可以發現感測數據的灰階強度出現中間低且兩邊高的現象,最終會在採集的灰階圖像的兩側形成黑邊。At the same time, FIG. 14 also depicts the so-called parasitic capacitance Cp, where the parasitic capacitance Cp represents the parasitic capacitance of a first metal plate M1 to ground. Practical experience has found that the parasitic capacitance attached to the sensing pixel (first metal plate M1) closer to the edge of the
依據圖14的電路圖可以推算出,△Vc=△V STIM((Cf+CB)∕CB)+△V STIM(Cp∕CB)。其中,△V STIM為激勵電壓的變化量、Cf為反饋電容的電容值、CB為補償電容的電容值、Cp為寄生電容的電容值,且△Vc為補償信號的高準位電壓的變化量。亦即,在固定反饋電容CF和補償電容CB的物理量的情況下,可以確定△Vc和寄生電容Cp之間的關係。因此,根據不同的寄生電容(Cp1,…Cpc,…CpN)選擇不同補償電壓(Vc1,…Vcc,…VcN),便能夠實現黑邊補償(消除)。 According to the circuit diagram in Figure 14, it can be deduced that △Vc=△V STIM ((Cf+CB)∕CB)+△V STIM (Cp∕CB). Among them, △V STIM is the change in the excitation voltage, Cf is the capacitance value of the feedback capacitor, CB is the capacitance value of the compensation capacitor, Cp is the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitor, and △Vc is the change in the high-level voltage of the compensation signal . That is, with the physical quantities of the feedback capacitance CF and the compensation capacitance CB fixed, the relationship between ΔVc and the parasitic capacitance Cp can be determined. Therefore, black edge compensation (elimination) can be achieved by selecting different compensation voltages (Vc1,...Vcc,...VcN) according to different parasitic capacitances (Cp1,...Cpc,...CpN).
故而,為了補償(消除)黑邊,本發明令所述補償信號產生單元214為一數位類比轉換器(DAC)或一非反相放大器,並控制每一列的N個所述補償信號產生單元214產生N個所述補償信號,其中所述N個補償信號的高準位電壓係滿足以下數學不等式(I):
……
……
…………(I)
Therefore, in order to compensate (eliminate) the black edges, the present invention makes the compensation
於數學不等式(I)之中,如圖13與圖14所示,Vc1為傳送至第1行的M個所述補償電容CB的該補償信號之高準位電壓,Vc2為傳送至第2行的M個所述補償電容CB的該補償信號之高準位電壓,Vcc為傳送至中間行的M個所述補償電容CB的該補償信號之高準位電壓,Vcc+1為傳送至中間行的鄰行的M個所述補償電容CB的該補償信號之高準位電壓,且VcN為傳送至最後一行M個所述補償電容CB的該補償信號之高準位電壓。從而,在滿足數學不等式(I)的情況下,每一列的N個所述補償信號之高準位電壓具有如圖15所示之電壓值分布。In the mathematical inequality (I), as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14, Vc1 is the high-level voltage of the compensation signal transmitted to the M compensation capacitors CB in the first row, and Vc2 is transmitted to the second row The high-level voltage of the compensation signal of the M compensation capacitors CB, Vcc is the high-level voltage of the compensation signal transmitted to the M compensation capacitors CB of the middle row, and Vcc+1 is the high-level voltage of the compensation signal transmitted to the middle row. The high-level voltage of the compensation signal of the M compensation capacitors CB in the adjacent row, and VcN is the high-level voltage of the compensation signal transmitted to the M compensation capacitors CB in the last row. Therefore, when mathematical inequality (I) is satisfied, the high-level voltages of the N compensation signals in each column have a voltage value distribution as shown in FIG. 15 .
依據圖8的採集灰階圖像可知,黑邊通常為第1~3行以及倒數第1~3行的感測畫素。因此,應用本發明時,可以只選擇對電容感測模組20的第1~3行以及倒數第1~3行的感測畫素進行黑邊補償,就可以消除圖8的採集灰階圖像所帶有的黑邊。另外,由於黑邊具對稱性,因此也可以對接近的補償電壓Vc進行合併,以降低晶片面積。According to the collected grayscale image in Figure 8, it can be seen that the black edges are usually the sensing pixels in the 1st to 3rd rows and the 1st to 3rd rows from the bottom. Therefore, when applying the present invention, you can only choose to perform black edge compensation on the sensing pixels in the 1st to 3rd rows and the 1st to 3rd rows from the bottom of the
進一步地,圖16顯示一個電荷放大器單元與一個電容補償單元的第二電路拓樸圖。如圖16所示,在可行的實施例中,所述電容補償單元213還會更包含一第五開關SW5以及一偏置電壓VDDA。因此,可以依據圖16的電路圖推算出如下數學式:
Further, FIG. 16 shows a second circuit topology diagram of a charge amplifier unit and a capacitance compensation unit. As shown in FIG. 16 , in a feasible embodiment, the
其中,V
STIM為激勵電壓、Cs為感應電容的電容值、CF為反饋電容的電容值、CB為補償電容的電容值、Cp為寄生電容的電容值,V
DDA為偏置電壓,且Vc為補償信號的高準位電壓。亦即,在固定反饋電容CF、補償電容CB以及偏置電壓VDDA的物理量的情況下,可以確定補償信號的高準位電壓Vc和寄生電容Cp之間的關係。因此,根據不同的寄生電容(Cp1,…Cpc,…CpN)選擇不同補償電壓(Vc1,…Vcc,…VcN),便能夠實現黑邊補償(消除)。故而,為了補償(消除)黑邊,本發明令所述補償信號產生單元214可以為一數位類比轉換器(DAC)或一非反相放大器,並控制每一列的N個所述補償信號產生單元214產生N個所述補償信號,且所述N個補償信號的高準位電壓係滿足如上所示數學不等式(I)。
Among them, V STIM is the excitation voltage, Cs is the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor, CF is the capacitance value of the feedback capacitor, CB is the capacitance value of the compensation capacitor, Cp is the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitor, V DDA is the bias voltage, and Vc is The high level voltage of the compensation signal. That is, when the physical quantities of the feedback capacitor CF, the compensation capacitor CB, and the bias voltage VDDA are fixed, the relationship between the high-level voltage Vc of the compensation signal and the parasitic capacitance Cp can be determined. Therefore, black edge compensation (elimination) can be achieved by selecting different compensation voltages (Vc1,...Vcc,...VcN) according to different parasitic capacitances (Cp1,...Cpc,...CpN).
