Abstract

The invention discloses a sensing method and circuit of a fingerprint sensor. In the sensing method, a first to a third voltage are respectively applied to an electrode plate to be measured and a to-be-measured electrode plate in a first phase. The readout circuit of the electrode plate and a conductor adjacent to the electrode plate to be measured; then in the second phase, stop applying the first to third voltages, and apply a fourth voltage to the conductor, and connect the to-be-measured The measurement electrode plate is sent to the readout circuit, and the measurement result of the electrode plate to be measured is output by the readout circuit, and the measurement result of the electrode plate to be measured can no longer be affected by the method and circuit of the present invention. It is affected by the capacitance formed between the electrode plate to be measured and the conductor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fingerprint sensor, in particular to a sensing method and circuit of the fingerprint sensor. Background technique [0002] see Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a schematic diagram of a projected capacitive fingerprint sensor 50 , which includes a plurality of electrode plates 51 arranged in a matrix, a guard electrode 52 , and a sensing circuit 53 connected to the plurality of electrode plates 51 . The sensing circuit 53 is used to detect the capacitance between each electrode plate 51 and the finger 60, for example, the capacitance C between the electrode plate Plate A and the finger 60 SA , the fingerprint image of the finger 60 can be obtained according to the capacitance between each electrode plate 51 and the finger 60 . However, the measurement of the capacitance between the electrode plate 51 and the finger 60 will be affected by other factors. For example, when measuring the electrode plate Plate A, the electrode...
