Problems solved by technology

Since the scanning parameters of each sub-IC are defined in advance, and because of the different traces of the scan, different firmwares are written and different simulation parameters are set. Therefore, each sub-IC is a standardized specification and can only be used Scan fixed stitches, cannot be exchanged with other secondary ICs, and cannot reconfigure new scanning parameters based on the scanning results to scan a specific area again. In addition to the lack of application flexibility, it is also impossible to solve the phenomenon of ghost spots (Ghostphenomenon)
[0003] Therefore, there are above-mentioned inconveniences and problems in the known active integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit; IC) structure scanning touch panel.

Embodiment Construction

[0050] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing.

[0051] see now figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the passive IC structure 10 is used for scanning the touch panel 16 . The touch panel 16 has traces TR0 to TRm as sensing lines. The passive IC structure 10 includes a main IC 12 and a secondary IC 14 connected to the touch panel 16 , for example, connecting the traces TR0 to TRm. The main IC 12 controls the operation of the sub-IC 14 to scan the touch panel 16 and provides required scanning parameters through the universal transmission interface 13 . In one embodiment, the main IC 12 generates a command and transmits it to the sub-IC 14 through the universal transmission interface 13 to set its scanning parameters for scanning the touch panel 16, and the sub-IC 14 scans the touch panel with the scanning parameters in respo...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a touch panel, in particular to a passive integrated circuit architecture for scanning the touch panel and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] It is a known technology to scan a touch panel by using an active integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit; IC) architecture. The active IC architecture is to pre-configure scanning parameters in a secondary (Slave) IC, such as the trace of the scan ( Trace), mode, timing and simulation parameters, etc., the secondary IC scans the touch panel according to the scanning parameters, and transmits the scanning data to a main (Master) IC for judgment. When the size of the touch panel increases, in order to reduce the scanning time, more than two sub-ICs are used to scan different areas of the touch panel simultaneously. Since the scanning parameters of each sub-IC are defined in advance, and because of the different traces of the scan, different firmwares are written and di...
