Abstract
A method and apparatus for driving a touch display driver integrated circuit (TDDI) of a touch-sensitive display panel are provided. The method may include: in a display phase of the touch-sensitive display panel, utilizing a reference voltage generator to generate a reference voltage having a predetermined voltage level to be a common voltage of the touch-sensitive display panel, and utilizing a common voltage operational amplifier (OPAMP) to drive the common voltage to the TDDI IC through a common voltage path, for performing display control of the touch-sensitive display panel; and in a touch-sensing phase of the touch-sensitive display panel, utilizing a touch-sensing waveform generator to generate a touch-sensing waveform signal carrying at least one touch-sensing waveform, and utilizing the common voltage OPAMP to drive the touch-sensing waveform signal to the TDDI IC through the common voltage path, for performing touch-sensing control of the touch-sensitive display panel.
