Provided are a driving unit for a touch electrode, a driving circuit, a touch panel and a driving method, wherein the driving unit comprises: a signal conversion unit configured to convert a signal input from the signal input terminal under the control of a clock signal and output the conversion result; a logic computation unit configured to perform a logic computation on the input signal and the touch enable signal and output the computation result; a buffer unit connected to an output terminal of the logic computation unit; and an output unit connected to an output terminal of the buffer unit and configured to output a touch scan signal to the touch driving electrode under the control of a signal output by the buffer unit. The driving circuit comprising multiple stages of driving unit described in the above can be directly integrated in the array substrate.
