Abstract

A readout circuit for touch panel includes first and second switches, an operational amplifier (OP-AMP), a feedback capacitor, a comparison unit, and a counter. A first input terminal and an output terminal of the OP-AMP are respectively coupled to a second terminal of the first switch and an input terminal of the comparison unit. A second input terminal of the OP-AMP receives a reference voltage. Two terminals of the feedback capacitor and the second switch are respectively coupled to the first input terminal and the output terminal of the OP-AMP. The comparison unit selects first or second threshold voltages to compare with an output of the OP-AMP according to a output of the comparison unit. An input terminal of the counter receives the output of the comparison unit.
