Abstract

A control circuit for a sensing electrode array is described. The control circuit for the sensing electrode array includes a down-conversion circuit, an intensity-to-phase frequency converter, and a phase frequency analyzing unit. The down-conversion circuit down-converts a sensing signal of each sensing line of the sensing electrode array to obtain a corresponding down-converted signal. Each down-converted signal is substantially a direct-current signal. The intensity-to-phase frequency converter generates a corresponding phase frequency signal for each down-converted signal. At least the phase or the frequency of the phase frequency signal is related to the level of the corresponding down-converted signal. The phase frequency analyzing unit obtains signal magnitude of the corresponding sensing lines based on the phase frequency signal. Therefore, the control circuit for the sensing electrode array enhances operating speed and signal-to-noise ratio of the touch control sensing system without increasing the manufacturing cost.
