Abstract

In this paper, we propose a full digital capacitive sensing touch key reducing the effects due to the variations of resistance and clock frequency. The proposed circuit consists of two capacitive loads to measure and a resistor between the capacitive loads. The method measures the delays of the resistor and two capacitive loads, respectively. The ratio of the two delays is represented as the ratio of the two capacitive loads and is irrelative to the resistance and the clock frequency if quantization error is disregarded. Experimental results show the proposed scheme efficiently reduces the effects due to the variations of clock frequency and resistance. Further more the method has l.04[pF] resolution and can be used as a touch key.

본 논문에서는 저항과 클록 주파수 변동에 의한 문제를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 풀 디지털 정전용량 방식의 터치키를 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 측정하고자 하는 정전용량 두 개와 두 정전용량 사이의 저항으로 구성되어 있으며, 각 정전용량과 저항의 지연을 각각 측정한 후 두 지연의 비를 구한다. 양자화 오차를 무시할 경우 두 지연의 비는 측정하고자 하는 두 정전용량의 비로 표시되어 저항 값과 클럭 주파수와 무관하다. 실험결과에서도 제안된 방법이 저항과 클록주파수에 의한 변동을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있음을 보였으며, 제안된 방법의 정전용량 해상도가 1.04[pF]여서 터치키로 사용될 수 있음을 보였다.
