New Description: [New Technology Field] This creation is about a pointing device with a resistive pressure sensor with a current mode. [Prior Art] Pressure sensing elements have been widely used in notebook computers and other electronic products. For example, the pressure sensing element is applied to the pointing device of the notebook computer, and can replace the function of the mouse. The pressure is applied by the finger on the pointing device with the pressure sensing 7L, and the pressure in the up, down, left, and right directions can be controlled to correspond. The movement of the mouse cursor. The pressure sensing components can be divided into a resistive type and an electric valley type. Prior art techniques have focused on measuring resistive pressure sensing components on a voltage division principle or as capacitive current sensing capacitive sensing components. The first figure is a schematic diagram of a resistive pressure sensing element placed with resistors RX+, RX-'RY+ and RY in different orientations under a pressure panel 10, in response to a finger pressure applied to the pressure panel 1 + and RY- are deformed by the influence of pressure, causing their resistance values to change. The second figure is a schematic diagram of the force coordinates of the resistive pressure sensing element. The direction in which the pressure sensing element is applied to the pressure is defined as the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the 2-axis. The resistors RX+, RX-, RY + & RY- are placed in the direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis, respectively, to detect the values of the pressure applied to the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis. When the pressure in the x+ direction is applied to the pressure sensing element, the resistance RX+ resistance value increases and the RX—resistance value decreases; when the pressure in the Z-direction is applied to the pressure sensing element, the resistances RX+, RX1, RY+, and RY - The resistance value increases at the same time. M295768 At present, this type of pointing device is mainly divided into four-wire and six-wire pointing devices, which are designed on the principle of partial pressure. The third figure is a circuit diagram of a conventional four-wire pointing device 20. A reference resistor 22 is connected between a pressure sensing element 23 and a power source Vs. The pressure sensing element 23 includes resistors rx+, RX-, RY+, and RY-. The resistors RX+ and RY+ are connected to a reference resistor 22, and the resistor RX- And one of the RY- terminals is grounded. The resistance values of resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY must be equal, so they must be compensated with precision resistors. The input terminal 24a of the operational amplifier 24 is connected between the resistors RX+ and RX-, the input terminal 26a of the operational amplifier 26 is connected between the resistors RY+ and RY-, and the input terminal 28a of the operational amplifier 28 is connected between the resistors RX+ and RY+. The input terminals 24b, 26b and 28b of the operational amplifiers 24, 26 and 28 are connected to a voltage divided by the reference voltage Vdac via the resistors 30 and 32, and the different voltage values are input by the reference voltage vdac to detect the X-axis and the Y-axis. And the pressure value of the Z axis. A resistor 34 is connected in series with a capacitor 36 and connected in parallel with a resistor 32. The capacitor 36 is connected between the drain and the source of a transistor 38. The gate of the transistor 38 is connected to a control signal. Taking the detection of the X-axis as an example, the reference voltage Vdac is wheeled with a voltage value to cause the operational amplifier 24 to operate to detect the voltage division result of the resistors 1^+ and Rx. When the X-axis pressure is detected, the counter (not shown) is reset and the transistor 38 is open. At this time, the voltage of the input terminal 24b of the operational amplifier 24 rises as the capacitor 36 is charged. When the operational amplifier 24 is turned, Stop the counting of the counter. The value is the same as the pressure in the X-axis direction. The same detection method can be used to detect the pressure values in the γ-axis and 2-axis directions. The fourth figure is a circuit diagram of a conventional six-wire pointing device, that is, a reference resistor 42 is connected between a pressure sensing element 43 and a power source ZM, and the pressure sensing element 43 includes resistors RX+, RX-, + and RY two resistors 6 M295768 connect the resistors RX+, RY- and RY+, the power supplies χρ, χΜ, γρ and γΜ are connected to the resistors RX+, RX-, RY+ and RY_, and the resistance values of the resistors RX+, Rx-, RY+ and RY- Must be equal, so they must be compensated with precision resistors. The input terminal 44a of the operational amplification state 44 is connected between the resistors rx+ and Rx-, and the other input 44b is connected to a reference voltage Vdac via a resistor and a voltage divided by 48, and is supplied with a reference voltage Vdac. The reference voltage vdac is the compensated voltage and uses the voltage division principle to detect the pressure values of the X-axis, γ-axis, and Z-axis. Taking the detection of the X-axis as an example, the power supply ΖΜ, γρ, and γΜ do not give any potential, the power supply ΧΡ provides a high potential, and the power supply ΧΜ provides a zero potential, so that the input terminal 44a of the operational amplifier 44 is at an unstressed potential (χρ+χΜ). )/2. When the X-axis is under the influence of the pressure, the resistances RX+ and RX- fluctuate accordingly, and the six-wire pointing device 40 determines the applied pressure value for the partial pressure ratio, and amplifies the divided voltage via the operational amplifier 44, and then digitizes The analog converter 50 converts the divided value into a digital value. Similarly, when detecting the Y-axis pressure, the power supply XP, XP and XM do not give any potential, the power supply YP provides a high potential, and the power supply YM provides a zero potential, so that the input terminal 44a of the operational amplifier 44 is at an unstressed potential ( YP+YM)/2; when detecting the Z-axis pressure, the power supplies YP and YM do not give any potential, the power supply ZM provides a high potential, and the power supplies XP and XM provide a zero potential, so that the input terminal 44a of the operational amplifier 44 is under no pressure. The potential is (XP+ZM)/2. In such a conventional pointing device, the pressure sensing element detects the pressure value by the principle of partial pressure. Therefore, in the four-wire or six-wire pointing device, the reference resistance used by the pressure sensing element must be Precision resistors, and each of the sense resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY- must be equal 'but drifting occurs in the resistor process, usually requiring additional series resistors to compensate, making resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY- The resistance values are equal. Therefore, a new 7 M295768 pointing device is what it is. [New content] The main purpose of this creation is to propose a pointing device for measuring the resistance of a current mode in a current mode. The resistance of the pressure sensing element does not require the use of a precision resistor to reduce the cost. According to the present invention, a pointing device for detecting a resistive pressure sensing element in a current mode includes a current source for supplying a current; a plurality of sets of resistors are required to be subjected to a voltage change of 10, and the plurality of resistors are selectively connected to the current a reference voltage is generated when the two are not pressed, and a differential voltage is generated when the voltage is pressed; a differential signal detector detects the differential voltage to generate a differential signal; and - analog to digital converter conversion The differential signal is a digital signal. [Embodiment] The fifth figure is a system block diagram of the present invention. The system includes a microcontroller 52, an SRAM 54, a ROM 56, a digital block 58 and a pointing device 60 for detecting a # pressure sensing element by a current mode, and the microcontroller 52 The SRAM 54 and the ROM 56 are connected to the pointing device 6A of the current mode detecting pressure sensing element by a digital block 58 as an interface. The sixth diagram is a functional block diagram of the pointing device 60 of the current mode detecting pressure sensing element, including a pressure sensing element 61 having resistances RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY·, respectively representing χ+, χ_ , γ+ and γ_ directions. The ends of the resistor RX+ are Χ1+ and Χ2+, the ends of the resistor rx_ are XI- and Χ2-, the ends of the resistor RY+ are Y1+ and Y2+, and the ends of the resistor ry_ are Yi- and Y2-. When the pressure is not applied by the fingers, the M295768 resistance values of the electric steepness rX+, rX...RY+ and RY- are approximately equal. A multiplexer 62 has its input terminals connected to resistors RX+, RX-, RY+ and RY- to select the resistance to be measured. A current source 64, connected to the output of the multiplexer 62 to provide current! Flows to the selected resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY-. Current source 64 controls the change in current I. When voltage sensing element 61 is uncompressed, control current I flows through resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY- to produce a voltage Vs. The input of a differential signal detector 66 is connected to the output of the multiplexer 62 to detect the terminal voltage (V1-V2) across the resistor, and the terminal voltage (V1-V2) is subtracted from the voltage Vs to obtain a differential voltage. Δν. A compensator 68 is coupled to an amplifier 70 for outputting the differential signal detector 66 to separately compensate and amplify the differential voltage Δν. A type of analog to digital converter 72 is coupled to the output of amplifier 70, which converts the analog output of amplifier 7A into a digital signal' and is processed by microcontroller 52 via digital block 58. The pointing device 60 for detecting the resistive pressure sensing element in current mode can be integrated with the control 1C of the capacitive touch panel in an integrated technique. The seventh diagram shows the internal components of the differential signal detector 66, including a voltage converter 6602 and a voltage-to-current converter 6604. The voltage converter 6602 can use, for example, a voltage server, which is coupled to the pressure sensing element 61. When not pressurized, the resistance voltage difference of the pressure sensing element 61 is adjusted to a voltage Vs, and the voltage to current converter 6604 converts the differential voltage into a current signal, which can be implemented using, for example, a conduction amplifier. The eighth figure is the equivalent circuit when the creation detects the pressure value in the X-axis direction. The multiplexer 62 selects both ends χΐ+ and X2+ inputs of the connection resistor RX+, and the current source 64 provides a current I. When no pressure is applied, the current I of the current source 64 causes the resistor RX+ to generate a voltage Vs, and the current source 64 is current. Mirror circuits or other circuits are produced. The current source 64 has a variety of variations, such as 16*16 variations, the adjustable variable current I, 俾 when the pressure sensing element 61 is uncompressed, 9 M295768 control current I flows through the resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY_ The voltage VS is generated. The current source 64 is added or subtracted by the switching of the circuit to change the modulation current I. Therefore, it is insensitive to the process drift of the resistors RX+, RX-, RY+, and RY-, and does not affect the pointing device of the pressure sensing element in the current mode. 60 accuracy. The current source 64 detects the terminal voltage (V1-V2) of the resistor RX+ by the differential signal detector 66. 'When the pressure is not applied, the current I is modulated so that the terminal voltage (V1-V2) of the resistor rX+ is equal to Vs, and adjust the voltage difference between voltage VI and V2. When the pressure is applied by the finger, the differential signal detector 66 detects the voltage difference between the voltages VI and V2, subtracts the voltage difference Vs from the voltage difference of the voltages vi and V2 to obtain the differential voltage Δν, and the difference is obtained by the amplifier 70. Dynamic voltage amplification. The compensator 68 precisely compensates the differential voltage Δν. Since the current compensation control is less susceptible to noise than the voltage compensation control, the compensator 68 is controlled by current, and further has the advantage that the circuit device design is easy. The current value is then converted to a digital signal via an analog to digital converter 72. According to the eighth figure, when the pointing device 60 for detecting the pressure sensing element in the current mode does not apply the pressure, the current I is supplied from the current source 64, so that the voltage difference between the voltages vi and V2 across the Χ1 + and Χ 2+ is Vs And the fixed current is in Is. When the pressure is applied, the resistance rx+ is deformed by the pressure, and the resistance value thereof changes accordingly. Therefore, the voltage difference between the voltages VI and V2 changes with the resistance value of the resistor RX+. The pointing device 60 detects by the differential signal detector 66. The voltage difference between voltages VI and V2 is measured, and the voltage difference νδ is subtracted from the voltage difference to obtain a differential voltage ΔV. Since the current source 64 fixes the current I to is, the differential voltage ΔV is detected to know the variation ΔΙι of the resistor RX+. The working principle of the present invention is to cooperate with the current principle and the resistors rX+, RX-, RY+ and RY_. The detection detects changes in pressure. The detection axis is based on the changes of the resistors RX+ and M295768. The Y-axis is based on the changes of the resistors RY+ and RY- to detect changes in the Z-based system based on the resistances RX+, RX-, RY+ and RY-. The ninth picture is the DC standard 六 six-tone diagram of the detection of the resistance terminal voltage 'adjust current according to the current source 64〗, when the resistance is not deformed by the pressure; ^ voltage V1 is about 216V, voltage V2 is about ι ΐ6ν According to the original resistance value, the voltage level measured by the debt is 8〇, and the pressure difference is 8 V1_v2, that is,
