Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a fingerprint detection method and a fingerprint module. The fingerprint detection method includes: dividing a detection area of the fingerprint module into a plurality of detection blocks, wherein each of the detection blocks comprises a plurality of detection units, and each of the detection units is corresponding to a grayscale value; scanning at least part of the detection blocks to obtain the grayscale values; determining whether each of the detection blocks is in a covered state based on the grayscale values; and counting the number of the detection blocks in the covered state, and sending a collection request to a host to inform the host to obtain a fingerprint image if the number thereof is not less than a coverage block threshold. The method avoids meaningless detection caused by a false touch, and ensures integrity of the fingerprint image collected later.

Abstract: A data register unit, a SAR ADC and an electronic device are disclosed. The data register unit comprises: a first high-speed flip-flop; a second high-speed flip-flop; and a third logic gate, wherein the first high-speed flip-flop and the second high-speed flip-flop comprise a high-speed flip-flop circuit respectively, which comprises: a first PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, an inverter and a logic gate. The data register unit of the present disclosure is composed of a high-speed flip-flop circuit with a very simple structure and suitable for fast operation. In a further embodiment, the high-speed flip-flop circuit can combine the bit pulse to realize the capacitor switching based on the comparison result. This increases the operation speed of the SAR ADC while significantly reducing the number of transistors required to implement the EMCS logic.

Abstract: A SAR ADC and an electronic device are disclosed. The SAR ADC includes a read clock generation circuit, configured to connect to a first output terminal and a second output terminal of a dynamic comparator, and generate a read clock signal for reading a first or a second comparison result based on the first and the second comparison result received from the dynamic comparator. The invention reads the comparison result using the read clock signal generated by grabbing the output of the comparator, and can improve the overall analog-to-digital conversion speed of the SAR ADC. Further, the present invention can detect the occurrence of metastable state of the comparator by judging that the output of the comparator has no pulse, and read the comparison result based on the backup clock generated by the operating clock of the comparator.

Abstract: A charge source circuit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) touch panel are disclosed. The charge source circuit includes a reference current generation block, a current mirror block and a charge output block. The charge output block is configured to provide an amount of charge as current times time, rather than voltage times capacitance as conventionally done. This dispenses with the use of a voltage division technique, a drive operational amplifier or a great number of capacitors, resulting in circuit simplicity, reduced cost and circuit layout area savings. Moreover, current and time interval sequences can be designed to enable, with a very small area and voltage, continuous adjustability of the amount of charge within a desired range at a higher resolution. An equivalent capacitance corresponding to the amount of charge can be adjusted within a range from tens to hundreds of pF.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch detection device, an electronic apparatus and a touch detection method. Each frame of touch related data corresponding to n*m capacitive nodes is obtained by producing n*m coupled signals from encoding operations and subjecting the n*m coupled signals to multiple access accumulation process, common mode suppression process, ADC process and decoding processes. Additionally, touch location information of the n*m capacitive nodes is obtained by acquiring two consecutive frames of touch related data and performing a subtraction operation between the two consecutive frames of touch related data. Therefore, relatively high touch sensing sensitivity is achievable. Before the subtraction operation, common-mode analog voltage amounts subtracted in the common mode suppression process may be not added back for each single frame of touch related data obtained from decoding process. This avoids introduction of errors, as well as a larger circuitry area and increased power consumption.
