Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch sensor driving method and device, and a capacitive touch module, and more particularly to providing a similar chord A pure or approximate sinusoidal current source of a wave waveform to a touch sensor driving method, device, and capacitive touch module of an Indium Tin Oxide (IT0) touch sensor. [Prior Art] ❹ Due to integration and fashion trends, various touch and detection technologies are applied to handheld devices such as notebooks, keyboards, mobile phones, digital video players, digital cameras, mobile communication and computer peripheral products. And IT〇 is also widely used in touch modules. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional capacitive touch sensor having a double-layered trace. The touch sensor 10 has a plurality of parent-axis wires 11 and Y-axis wires 12, each of which has a plurality of sensor contacts (sens〇r pad) 13 and a connection line μ between the sensor contacts. For any of the wires η and 12, the main contribution of the resistance is from the connection line 14, and the capacitance is the capacitance of the sensor contact 13 itself to ground. For example, suppose an ITO sheet of a certain process has a resistance value of 1 Ω per unit area, 7 units between two sensor contacts 13, and a total of 9 lines for the entire conductor. The resistance value will be 7*1〇〇*9=6300Ω' and the capacitance of each inductor contact 13 to ground can be, for example, 4pF, so the circuit model of the entire wire can be established. On the other hand, for the two-dimensional capacitive touch sensor driving signal generation and mention 2 '美@ invention patent No. 6,323, 846 claims to supply the voltage source for the power supply device, and the fifth, 920, 309 claims to use the modulator (modulator) The drive signal is provided 'and the drive signal can be a voltage source or a positive or negative direction of the fixed frequency = 疋 current source. Further, the U.S. invention patents Nos. 5, 92, and 3 are fixed-current sources in both positive and negative directions of a fixed frequency to charge and discharge the touch sensor by the formed square wave power source. However, because the resistance characteristics of ITO make the conductive characteristics less than that of metal, the touch sensor has the equivalent RC network characteristics, so that the button is severely attenuated at the end of the network (the front stage of the touch sensor), thereby making the touch Control board controller f signal system: In addition, because the square wave has high lying harmonics, the signal is seriously attenuated in the front-end touch sensor of the ΠΌ wire. Therefore, a touch sensor driving method and device capable of eliminating or slowing down signal attenuation are actually implemented by a capacitive touch module. ❹

The resistance and capacitance of the touch sensor can be changed respectively. The following formulas are obtained and compared: (Α2-Α1)/Α1*1〇〇%, (A3-A1)/A1*100%, (A4-A1)/A1*100%, and (A5-A1)/A1*100 %. When the capacitance of the touch sensor is fixed at 4pF and the resistance is 201007538 ❹ © variable range is 0.1ΚΩ~1.1ΚΩ and the touch sensor resistance is fixed at 0.7ΚΩ, and the capacitance is variable in the range of 〇.5pF~6pF. Two characteristics are found: First, the sine wave stabilization time is faster than the square wave, so the scanning frequency of the sine wave is faster than the square wave; second, at the end of the RC network, the amplitude of the pure sine wave is 27.46% more than the square wave. The amplitude of the 8-point sine wave is 21 57% more than the square wave, the amplitude of the 16-point sine wave is 25.83% more than the square wave, and the amplitude of the 32-point sine wave is more than the square wave. Therefore, the present invention can overcome the serious problem of the signal at the end of the network. Attenuation 〇, ° reduces the difficulty of the touch panel controller in signal detection; and can provide a faster steady-state and larger amplitude chord source than a constant current source that provides a square wave waveform, so that it can be applied to more With larger size IT〇 panels. Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram of a capacitive touch mode twisted square according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the capacitive touch module 6 and the '=-6^^ module/2 an indium oxide oxide touch sensor ^ and the microcontroller ^64. The control device 61, for example, the charge and discharge power supply line of the touch sensor 63 squirts a pure or approximate source of the money waveform to drive the ιτο touch sensor 63, and obtains the conduction controller unit 64 according to the capacitance change amount. The number of the southmost frequency divided by the sine wave frequency divided by the sine wave frequency and determined by the value of the sinusoidal frequency is determined by dividing the sine wave frequency to be a power of 2, But the number of two points is theoretically good. - The more (4) the number is obtained, the more approximate sine wave effect is obtained. 11 201007538 In summary, the touch sensor driving method and device and the capacitive touch module proposed according to the present invention, 32-point sine wave It almost overlaps with the simulated fruit of pure sine wave' so the more points there are, the better the effect of approximating the sine wave. Further, the present invention can overcome the signal in the RC network by using a touch sensor driving method, a device, and a capacitive touch module that provide a pure or nearly sinusoidal current source having a sine wave waveform to the touch sensor. The severe attenuation at the end of the road reduces the difficulty of the touch panel controller in signal detection, and can provide a sinusoidal current source with faster settling time and larger amplitude than a constant current source with a square wave waveform. In practice, 假 If the original square wave current source drive mode can support 4.3-inch pairs of ITO panels, if you switch to a pure sine wave current source, the maximum supported IT panel size is about 5.5 inches; Driven by an 8-point sine wave current source, the maximum supported panel size is approximately 5.2 inches; if driven by a 16-point sine current source, the maximum supported panel size is approximately 5 inches; Driven by a 32-point sine wave current source, the maximum ΙΤ〇 panel size supported is approximately 5 5 inches, so the present invention can be applied to a larger and larger ΙΤ〇 panel. While the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is to be understood that the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
