Abstract:
A method for detecting capacitance values of a plurality of capacitive sensing nodes located at intersections of a plurality of drive lines and a sense line on a touch panel is provided. The method includes at least the following steps: obtaining a plurality of touch sense signals corresponding to the sense line during a plurality of time slots, respectively; demodulating the touch sense signals with a first oscillation signal to generate a plurality of first demodulated signals; demodulating the touch sense signals with a second oscillation signal to generate a plurality of second demodulated signals, wherein the second oscillation signal is different from the first oscillation signal; and determining the capacitance values according to at least the first demodulated signals and the second demodulated signals.
