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.
