Abstract

The invention discloses a capacitive touch sensing unit with neuromorphic output. An oscillator, an inverter and a pulse encoder are integrated in situ. When the voltage-sensitive capacitor is pressedto cause capacitance change, the oscillator generates square wave signal frequency change, the square wave signal frequency is input into the pulse encoder through the phase inverter, and the pulse encoder circuit converts a voltage signal into a pulse signal and outputs the pulse signal. The pulse encoder is controlled by a transistor output current IDS in a preceding-stage inverter and is converted into a pulse sequence with the frequency consistent with the output frequency of an oscillator in situ through a Mott memristor, a capacitor and a resistor, and therefore neuromorphic tactile information output is achieved. The neuromorphic output capacitive touch sensing unit has the characteristics of high sensitivity, low power consumption, easy integration and good biocompatibility, and has a certain application prospect.
