下面结合附图对本发明的触控电路、触控检测放大电路以及触控装置的具体实施方式进行说明。
请参照图1,其为本发明一实施方式的触控装置100的立体示意图。在本发明的至少一个实施方式中,所述触控装置100可以为个人计算机、平板电脑、智能手机、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、游戏机、交互式网
络电视(Internet Protocol Television,IPTV)、智能式穿戴式设备、导航装置等等的可移动设备,也可以为台式电脑、服务器、数字电视等等的固定设备。所述触控装置100可进一步包括指纹识别功能、显示功能以及摄像功能中的一种或多种的结合。触控装置100包括触控电路200(如图2所示)。在本发明的至少一个实施方式中,所述触控电路200可以包括至少一块集成电路板以及电性连接在集成电路板上的多个电子元件,例如电容、电阻以及芯片等等。
请一并参阅图2,其为较佳实施方式之所述触控电路200的模块示意图。所述触控电路200包括电荷产生电路10、充电电路20、控制电路30、触控检测放大电路40以及数据处理电路50。在本发明的至少一个实施方式中,所述触控装置100工作在指定电压域。所述指定电压域用于限定所述触控装置100的电压变化范围,所述指定电压域以所述电源电压VDD为上限电压,低电平电压VSS为下限电压。
所述电荷产生电路10按照一定的时序控制进行扫描以检测用户的触摸操作以产生所述感测电容。如图3所示,所述电荷产生电路10包括呈m*n矩阵排列的所述感测电极12。其中,m,n为正整数,且二者可以相同也可以不同。其中,所述感测电极12与地之间形成自电容Csensor(如图4所示)。用户手指触摸后,触摸区域的所述感测电极12与手指之间形成人体电容Cfinger(如图4所示),所述自电容Csensor以及所述人体电容Cfinger并联连接共同构成所述感测电容。所述感测电极12通过感测线(图未示)与所述触控检测放大电路40电性连接。
在本发明的至少一个实施方式中,所述触控装置100具有电容式触控屏。对于电容式触摸屏而言,当人体未触碰屏幕时,每个所述感测电极12对应的所述感测电容为所述自电容Csensor,且所述自电容Csensor作为基准电容,即所述感测电极12相对地的电容为一固定值,当人体触碰屏幕时,每个所述感测电极12对应的所述感测电容为所述自电容Csensor叠加所述人体电容Cfinger,所述触控检测放大电路40在触控时间段通过检测每个所述感测电极12的感测电容的电容值变化可以判断出触控位置。但在所述自电容Csensor较大时,所述感测电容的相对变化量就较小,因此在触控时间段需减小或者消除基准电容,避免对触摸检测产生不利影响。

为例,所述感测电压Vout处于1.5V时,其向上和向下具有最大摆动幅度1.5V。在本发明的至少一个实施方式中,所述共模电压有效信号范围可以为1.3V-1.7V。在其他实施方式中,所述触控装置100内也可设置多个不同范围的共模电压有效信号范围,通过用户设定选择其中一个所述共模电压有效信号范围衡量所述触控装置100的所述感测电压Vout。

电压以及接入电容的电容值计算得到平移电容值,并通过查表得到设定对应的比特位的数值,进而在所述平移电容值为0时不需接入所述辅助电容。在所述平移电容值不为0时,所述共模参数调整模块45通过查表得到设定对应的比特位的数值,进而设定所述辅助电容C1-1~C1-p中的至少一个作为所述共模电容。在所述平移电容值越小时,所述共模参数调整模块45设置所述共模电容的电容值越小。
在所述第三阶段T3,所述第二控制开关φ12导通,所述第一控制开关φ11以及所述第三控制开关φ22断开。所述缓冲器21停止对所述充电电容Cb进行充电。所述充电电容Cb放电,以减少所述自电容Csensor对所述人体电容Cfinger的影响。同时,所述复位开关rst处于导通状态,使得所述平移驱动模块47将所述第一平移控制信号或所述第二平移控制信号提供给所述共模电容,以使得所述共模电容进行充电。
在所述第四阶段T4,所述第一控制开关φ11以及所述第二控制开关φ12断开,所述第三控制开关φ22闭合。所述缓冲器21再次对所述充电电容Cb进行充电。同时,所述复位开关rst处于断开状态。此时,将所述共模电容上存储的电荷转移到所述主电容Ca上,以对所述放大器41的输出端的电压进行向上或向下的调整。
上述所述触控电路200c,通过设置多个并联连接的所述辅助电容C1-1~C1-p并采用分时复用的方式对所述放大器41输出端的电压进行调整,最大化利用所述触控检测放大电路40的电压输出范围,提高所述触控检测放大电路40的灵敏度以及工作速率。同时,通过所述充电电路20采用开关电容电路,以降低所述感测电极12的所述自电容Csensor对所述人体电容Cfinger的影响,提高了所述触控装置100的应用范围。
在其他实施方式中,触控电路200还可以采用所述第一实施方式中具有所述充电子电容Cb-1~Cb-p的所述充电电路20a的结构以及所述第三实施方式中的所述触控检测放大电路40的结构。即,所述触控电路200同时包括具有所述充电子电容Cb-1~Cb-p的所述充电电路20a(如图4所示)以及第三实施方式中的所述触控检测放大电路40(如图11)。上述结构的所述触控电路200可根据所述感测电压Vout的电压值选择所述充电电路20或所述触控检测放大电路40中的至少一者对所述感测电压Vout进行调整。
前端的所述充电电路20的差异会导致所述触控电路200的应用环境不同。为了保证所述感测电压Vout在预设共模电压有效范围内实现最大摆幅,可根据所述触控电路200中前端的所述充电电路20是用于提供充电电流(如图8),还是用于提供所述充电电容Cb(如图4),选择采用对所述充电电容Cb进行校正或者对反馈电容进行共模校正。其中,所述主电容Ca和所述共模电容C1构成触控检测放大电路40的反馈电容,通过调整所述共模电容C1的电容值可以实现对触控检测放大电路40反馈电容值的调整。
所述触控电路200中前端的所述充电电路20是用于提供充电电流时(如图14),即所述触控电路200的前端是电流base,此时电路内没有电容base或者
所述充电电容Cb的范围过小,不足以进行感测电压Vout调整,此时通过调整所述共模电容C1的电容值实现反馈电容值的调整,进而实现对所述感测电压Vout的共模校正。
所述触控电路200中前端的所述充电电路20是用于提供充电电容时,即触控电路200的前端是电容base,所述充电电容Cb的电容值范围大,此时通过调整所述充电电容Cb的电容值对所述感测电压Vout进行共模校正。
在本发明的至少一个实施例中,可以通过设置所述充电电容Cb的电容值位于所述第一电容调整范围,且与所述共模电容的电容值对应的第二电容调整范围具有一定差异,以使得所述触控检测放大电路40反馈电容值调整范围小于所述充电电容Cb的第一电容调整范围,使得在所述反馈电容的电容值改变时所述感测电压Vout的变化幅度小于在所述充电电容Cb的电容值改变时所述感测电压Vout的变化幅度。因此,根据所述感测电压Vout对所述充电电容Cb的电容值进行调整可提高对所述感测电压Vout的调整精度。
