觸控裝置Touch device

本發明是有關於一種觸控裝置,且特別是有關於一種能降低信號傳送時的雜訊以及具有低靜態電流的觸控裝置。The present invention relates to a touch device, and more particularly to a touch device capable of reducing noise during signal transmission and having low quiescent current.

隨著技術的日新月異,大多電子裝置,例如:筆記型電腦、手機或是可攜式多媒體播放器等電子裝置,通常配置有觸控面板,以作為新一代的輸入介面。觸控面板大致可區分為電阻式、電容式、紅外線式及超音波式等,其中以電阻式觸控面板與電容式觸控面板為最常見的產品。With the rapid development of technology, most electronic devices, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, or portable multimedia players, are usually equipped with a touch panel as a new generation input interface. The touch panel can be roughly classified into a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, and an ultrasonic type. Among them, a resistive touch panel and a capacitive touch panel are the most common products.

電容式觸控面板為經由手指或導體材質靠近或觸碰觸控面板,而使觸控面板之電容上的電壓產生變化。當觸控面板偵測到電容上的電壓變化時,觸控面板的內部電路會對上述電壓變化進行處理,以便可判斷出手指或導體材質靠近或觸碰的位置,並且執行觸碰位置所對應的功能操作。The capacitive touch panel changes the voltage on the capacitance of the touch panel by approaching or touching the touch panel via a finger or a conductor material. When the touch panel detects a voltage change on the capacitor, the internal circuit of the touch panel processes the voltage change so that the position of the finger or the conductor material is close or touched, and the touch position is performed. Functional operation.

然而,在處理電容上之電壓的過程中,信號會於觸控面板的內部電路間進行傳送與處理,由於信號再傳送的過程中可能會夾帶許多的雜訊成份,若觸控面板中沒有有效針對信號所夾帶的雜訊進行處理,將可能使得信號因為雜訊而失真,進而觸控面板產生誤動作。However, in the process of processing the voltage on the capacitor, the signal is transmitted and processed between the internal circuits of the touch panel. Since the signal retransmission process may carry a lot of noise components, if the touch panel is not effective. Processing the noise entrained by the signal may cause the signal to be distorted due to noise, and the touch panel may malfunction.

上述已大致說明了本實施例之觸控裝置100的詳細電路及其耦接關係與相關的操作。以下,將搭配訊號的時序圖來對觸控裝置100的運作進行說明。The detailed circuit of the touch device 100 of the present embodiment and its coupling relationship and related operations have been generally described. Hereinafter, the operation of the touch device 100 will be described with a timing chart of the signal.

圖2繪示為本發明之一實施例之取樣信號SS1、電荷重置信號SR1、等化信號VC1、第一控制信號V1與第二控制信號V2的時序圖。請合併參照圖1與圖2,首先,當使用者按壓觸控裝置100時,觸控裝置100會將使用者所按壓的訊息轉換成電壓儲存於觸控電容CT1上。接著,觸控裝置100會致能取樣信號SS1,使得開關121導通,而電容C1_1會取樣並保存觸控電容CT1上的電壓,以產生觸控電壓VT1。2 is a timing diagram of the sampling signal SS1, the charge reset signal SR1, the equalization signal VC1, the first control signal V1, and the second control signal V2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, firstly, when the user presses the touch device 100, the touch device 100 converts the message pressed by the user into a voltage and stores it on the touch capacitor CT1. Then, the touch device 100 enables the sampling signal SS1 to turn on the switch 121, and the capacitor C1_1 samples and saves the voltage on the touch capacitor CT1 to generate the touch voltage VT1.

之後,觸控裝置100會致能重置信號Vreset1,使得開關160之電晶體M1導通,則觸控電容CT1上的電壓會經由電晶體M1進行放電至接地電壓準位,以便於讓觸控電容CT1可儲存下一次使用者按壓觸控裝置100時所轉換的電壓。接著,觸控裝置100會致能電荷重置信號SR1,使得開關122導通,而電容C2_1會取樣並保存觸控電容CT1上的電壓,以產生重置電壓VR1。After that, the touch device 100 enables the reset signal Vreset1, so that the transistor M1 of the switch 160 is turned on, and the voltage on the touch capacitor CT1 is discharged to the ground voltage level via the transistor M1, so as to make the touch capacitor The CT1 can store the voltage that is converted when the user presses the touch device 100 next time. Then, the touch device 100 enables the charge reset signal SR1 to turn on the switch 122, and the capacitor C2_1 samples and saves the voltage on the touch capacitor CT1 to generate the reset voltage VR1.

接著,觸控裝置100會致能第一控制信號V1,使得開關131及132導通,則觸控電壓VT1與重置電壓VR1會經由開關單元130傳送。另一方面,在第一控制信號V1的子致能期間T1,觸控裝置100會致能第二控制信號V2,使得開關141及142導通,則電容C3與C4的第二端會接收共用電壓Vcom,而電容C3先耦合觸控電壓VT與共用電壓Vcom以產生電壓VT1+Vcom,電容C4先耦合重置電壓VR1與共用電壓Vcom以產生電壓VR1+Vcom。接著,在第一控制信號V1的子致能期間T2,觸控裝置100會致能等化信號VC1,使得開關123導通,則觸控電壓VT1與重置電壓VR1會發生電荷分享效應,以產生觸控電壓VT1與重置電壓VR1的平均電壓((VT1+VR1)/2)。Then, the touch control device 100 enables the first control signal V1, so that the switches 131 and 132 are turned on, and the touch voltage VT1 and the reset voltage VR1 are transmitted via the switch unit 130. On the other hand, during the sub-energy period T1 of the first control signal V1, the touch device 100 enables the second control signal V2, so that the switches 141 and 142 are turned on, and the second ends of the capacitors C3 and C4 receive the common voltage. Vcom, and capacitor C3 first couples touch voltage VT and common voltage Vcom to generate voltage VT1+Vcom, and capacitor C4 first couples reset voltage VR1 and common voltage Vcom to generate voltage VR1+Vcom. Then, during the sub-energy period T2 of the first control signal V1, the touch device 100 enables the equalization of the signal VC1, so that the switch 123 is turned on, and the charge sharing effect occurs between the touch voltage VT1 and the reset voltage VR1 to generate a charge sharing effect. The average voltage of the touch voltage VT1 and the reset voltage VR1 ((VT1+VR1)/2).

由於開關131及132仍然導通,因此平均電壓會分別經由緩衝器124及開關131與緩衝器125及開關132傳送到電容C3與C4。接著,電容C3會將電壓VT1+Vcom與平均電壓(VT1+VR1)/2進行耦合以產生第一耦合電壓,即VT1+Vcom-(VT1+VR1)/2=Vcom+(VT1-VR1)/2,電容C4會將電壓VR1+Vcom與平均電壓(VT1+VR1)/2進行耦合以產生第二耦合電壓,即VR1+Vcom-(VT1+VR1)/2=Vcom+(VR1-VT1)/2。之後,將第一耦合電壓與第二耦合電壓傳送至類比數位轉換器150,以對第一耦合電壓與第二耦合電壓進行類比數位轉換,而產生第一數位信號與第二數位信號。接著,將第一數位信號與第二數位信號傳送至後端電路(back end circuit),以進行相應的後續處理。如此一來,於本實施例中,由於第一耦合電壓與第二耦合電壓彼此互為相對的電壓(relative voltage),因此可以有效地降低信號傳送時的雜訊。另外,由於觸控裝置100不需應用任何的電阻,所以可使得/保證觸控裝置100具有低靜態電流。Since switches 131 and 132 are still conducting, the average voltage is transferred to capacitors C3 and C4 via buffer 124 and switch 131 and buffer 125 and switch 132, respectively. Next, capacitor C3 couples voltage VT1+Vcom to the average voltage (VT1+VR1)/2 to produce a first coupling voltage, ie VT1+Vcom-(VT1+VR1)/2=Vcom+(VT1-VR1)/2 Capacitor C4 couples voltage VR1+Vcom to the average voltage (VT1+VR1)/2 to produce a second coupling voltage, VR1+Vcom-(VT1+VR1)/2=Vcom+(VR1-VT1)/2. Thereafter, the first coupling voltage and the second coupling voltage are transmitted to the analog-to-digital converter 150 to perform analog-digital conversion on the first coupling voltage and the second coupling voltage to generate a first digital signal and a second digital signal. Next, the first digit signal and the second digit signal are transmitted to a back end circuit for corresponding subsequent processing. In this embodiment, since the first coupling voltage and the second coupling voltage are mutually opposite voltages, the noise during signal transmission can be effectively reduced. In addition, since the touch device 100 does not need to apply any resistance, the touch device 100 can be made/guaranteed with a low quiescent current.

另外,在本實施例中,觸控裝置100更具有觸控電容CT2,而觸碰控制單元110更包括信號取樣保存單元170與開關單元180。In addition, in the embodiment, the touch device 100 further includes a touch capacitor CT2, and the touch control unit 110 further includes a signal sample holding unit 170 and a switch unit 180.

The voltage on the touch capacitor CT2 is sampled and saved to generate a reset voltage VR2. The signal sampling and holding unit 170 further generates an average voltage of the touch voltage VT2 and the reset voltage VR2 according to the equalization signal VC2. The switch unit 180 is coupled to the signal sample storage unit 170 for receiving and transmitting the touch voltage VT2, the reset voltage VR2, and the average voltage to the signal processing unit 140 according to the third control signal V3. The signal processing unit 140 receives the touch voltage VT2, the reset voltage VR2, and the average voltage, and couples the touch voltage VT2, the reset voltage VR2, the average voltage, and the common voltage Vcom according to the second control signal V2 to generate The third coupling voltage is the fourth coupling voltage. The third coupling voltage and the fourth coupling voltage are transmitted to the analog digital conversion circuit 150 for analog digital conversion to generate a third digital signal and a fourth digital signal, and then perform corresponding subsequent processing.

另外,信號取樣保存單元170、開關單元180及開關190的運作方式以及其內部元件的耦接關係可參照信號取樣保存單元120、開關單元130及開關160的相關說明,故在此不再贅述。如此一來,本實施例可在共用信號處理單元140的情況下,有效降低信號取樣保存單元170與180至信號處理單元140之間的信號傳送時的雜訊,亦即降低並列至串列(parallel to serial)處理過程中的雜訊,以及使觸控裝置100具有低靜態電流(low static current)。In addition, the operation manners of the signal sampling and holding unit 170, the switch unit 180, and the switch 190 and the coupling relationship of the internal components thereof can be referred to the related descriptions of the signal sampling and holding unit 120, the switch unit 130, and the switch 160, and thus will not be described herein. In this way, in the case of the shared signal processing unit 140, the present embodiment can effectively reduce the noise during signal transmission between the signal sample holding units 170 and 180 to the signal processing unit 140, that is, reduce the juxtaposition to the serial ( Parallel to serial) the noise during processing, and the touch device 100 has a low static current.

綜上所述,本發明實施例藉由信號取樣保存單元在取樣信號的致能期間取樣並保存觸控電容上的電壓以產生一觸控電壓以及在電荷重置信號的致能期間取樣並保存觸控電容上的電壓以產生重置電壓,並且更依據等化信號來產生觸控電壓及重置電壓的平均電壓。之後,透過開關單元分別傳送觸控電壓、重置電壓與平均電壓至信號處理單元。接著,再藉由信號處理單元對觸控電壓、重置電壓、平均電壓與共用電壓進行耦合,以產生第一耦合電壓與第二耦合電壓。如此一來,可有效降低信號傳送時的雜訊以及使觸控裝置具有低靜態電流。另外,本發明實施例可在共用信號處理單元的情況下,有效降低多個信號取樣保存單元至信號處理單元之間的信號傳送時的雜訊,亦即降低並列至串列處理過程中的雜訊,且觸控裝置仍具有低靜態電流。In summary, the signal sampling and storage unit samples and saves the voltage on the touch capacitor to generate a touch voltage and sample and save the charge reset signal during the enablement of the charge reset signal.
