Abstract

The present disclosure provides a fingerprint detection circuit and method. The circuit includes a fingerprint collecting module and a processing module. The fingerprint collecting module includes a plurality of collecting units, and each collecting unit has a regulation voltage and is configured to output a first voltage or a second voltage according to a capacitance value of one of ridge capacitors, a capacitance value of one of ridge capacitors and the regulation voltage. The processing module is configured to amplify the first and second voltages by a predetermined factor, to calculate a difference between the amplified first and second voltages, and to determine whether the difference is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold. If no, the processing module adjusts at least one parameter, and configures the fingerprint detection circuit using at least one adjusted parameter.
