Abstract

A capacitance detection method based on a capacitive touch controller chip includes: setting configuration information of a plurality of detection channels, the configuration information includes information of activating sequence and pre-configuration information of a plurality of respective detection channels (201); pre-configuring the plurality of respective channels before detection in accordance with the pre-configuration information (202); activating a first detection channel in accordance with the information of activating sequence, and detecting a capacitance value generated by touch of a user in the currently activated channel (203); and activating a next channel in accordance with the information of activating sequence, and continuing to perform detection on a capacitance value of the next channel until completing the detection of capacitance values of all detection channels (204). The method can enhance the flexibility of setting detection channels.
