Abstract
An equalized capacitive touchpad and a touch positioning method for a capacitive touchpad use an equalizer to correct a sensed value of a mutual capacitance between two sensing lines of the capacitive touchpad, to thereby offset the attenuation of the sensed value due to the impedance of the two sensing lines. Thus, the sensed values generated from different positions along a sensing line are equalized, and the touch positioning accuracy of the capacitive touchpad is improved.
