Abstract

A method of driving and detection for a capacitive touch screen and a device thereof are provided. The method includes: sending, from a driving side, excitation signals through a plurality of channels simultaneously during the same driving and detection time period; receiving, by each of receiving channels at a receiving side, a charge signal generated from the excitation signals through coupling capacitances at corresponding touch detection points, and performing detection, which includes: converting and amplifying the charge signal into a voltage signal, and performing signal demodulation and analog-to-digital conversion on the voltage signal; and storing digital signals obtained from the analog-to-digital conversion, and analyzing the digital signals by a controller to obtain a detection result. This can achieve rapid scan, increase frame rate in detection, and meet the rapidity requirement for performing display driving and touch detection at different time slots.
