DD Convert to the first negative voltage -V DD Examples of the positive and negative voltage conversion circuit include a negative pressure charge pump circuit.
[0042] The charge transfer process in the fourth time period is based on the second storage capacitor C. S2 A certain negative charge has been stored. Due to the first negative voltage -V due to the fifth time period DD Further, the touch electrode is charged such that the voltage across the touch electrode is from the second negative voltage V. C2 Changed to the first negative voltage -V DD , So the second negative voltage V C2 Above first negative voltage -V DD , And below zero voltage, satisfying 0> V C2 -V DD , │V DD │> │V C2 │> 0.
[0043] By setting the first negative voltage -V DD , Can cause the signal of the drive signal output from the touch drive circuit from V DD Rising to 2VDD It is conducive to improving the resolution of touch detection. for figure 1 The conventional touch drive circuit shown, if the signal amplitude of the drive signal is increased to 2V DD , The driving power consumption in one cycle T will increase to 4 * c L * V DD 2 * f; wherein the resistance R in the touch electrode discharge process L The loss is equal to 2 * C L * V DD 2 * f. However, in the present embodiment, the first storage capacitor C is utilized. S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The recycled charge is transferred by the touch electrode during the discharge process, and no additional power consumption is generated during this process, so that the resistance R in the discharge process of the touch electrode L The loss is equal to 1/2 * C L * V DD 2 * f, only 25% of the traditional touch drive circuit.
[0044] Based on the above embodiment disclosed, in the present embodiment, the switching circuit can further control the touch electrode to the second storage capacitor C within the sixth time period. S2 , Second storage capacitor C S2 The charge of the touch electrode is released, so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second negative voltage V C2 In the seventh time, the control of the touch electrode is connected to the ground GND, and the touch electrode is discharged, so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the zero voltage; the control of the touch electrode is connected to the first storage capacitor C in the eighth time period. S1 , First storage capacitor C S1 Transferring the stored charge to the touch electrode such that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second positive voltage V C1. At this point, the switching circuit completes the operation within a working cycle, and next, according to the operation within the first time period, control the first positive voltage V.

[0045] When the touch drive circuit is in the initial state, the first storage capacitor C S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The amount of charge of the stored charge is zero, which can cause the switch circuit to sequentially control: the first positive voltage V in accordance with the first time period to the eighth time period.

S2 No charge transfer occurs; first negative voltage -V DD Charge the touch electrode until the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode is equal to the first negative voltage -V DD; Touch electrode again with the second storage capacitor C S2 Connected, and touch the electrode to the second storage capacitor C S2 Discharge, second storage capacitor C S2 The charge of the touch electrode is stored until the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode is equal to the second negative voltage V C2 The touch electrode is again grounded and discharged, until the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode is equal to 0; the touch electrode and the first storage capacitor C S1 Connected, the first storage capacitor C S1 Transferring the stored charge to the touch electrode, charging the touch electrode until the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode is equal to the second positive voltage V C1 Next, periodically cycle the above process, when the touch electrode is switched from the ground to the second storage capacitor C S2 When the second storage capacitor C S2 The stored charge can be transferred to the touch electrode to charge the touch electrode until the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second negative voltage V. C2. Thereby, the first storage capacitor C S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The amount of charge of the stored charge can be gradually stable, so that the second positive voltage V is C1 And the second negative voltage V C2 The value gradually stabilizes, and when the first storage capacitor C S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L When the capacitance value is in the with capacitor C L The first storage capacitor C before and after charging transfer S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The amount of charge stored hardly changes.
[0046] Based on the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the switching circuit may further include a first switching circuit, a second switching circuit, a third switching circuit, a fourth switching circuit, and a fifth switching circuit. Specifically, the input of the first switch circuit is the first input of the switching circuit, the output of the first switch circuit is connected to the output of the switch circuit; the input end of the second switch circuit is the second input of the switching circuit, The output of the second switch circuit is connected to the output of the switch circuit; the input end of the third switch circuit is the third input of the switch circuit, the output of the third switching circuit is connected to the output of the switching circuit; the fourth switching circuit The input terminal is the fourth input of the switch circuit, the output of the fourth switch circuit is connected to the output of the switch circuit; the input end of the fifth switch circuit is the fifth input of the switch circuit, the output of the fifth switching circuit. Connect to the output of the switching circuit.
[0047] When any of the above-mentioned switching circuits, the other four switching circuits remain open, i.e., at a single moment, only one switching circuit is turned on. In this embodiment, the five switching circuits may periodically circulate in accordance with the following order:
[0048] In the first time period, only the first switch circuit is turned on, the first positive voltage V DD The touch electrode is charged such that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the first positive voltage V DD. During the second time, only the second switching circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the first storage capacitor C S1 , First storage capacitor C S1 The charge of the touch electrode is stored such that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second positive voltage V C1 In the third time, only the third switching circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the ground GND, the touch electrode is discharged, so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to zero voltage; in the fourth time period, only the fourth switch only Circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the second storage capacitor C S2 , Second storage capacitor C S2 Transferring the stored charge to the touch electrode so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second negative voltage V C2 In the fifth time period, only the fifth switching circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the first negative voltage -V DD , First negative voltage -V DD The touch electrode is charged such that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the first negative voltage -V DD In the sixth time period, only the fourth switching circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the second storage capacitor C. S2 , Second storage capacitor C S2 The charge of the touch electrode is released, so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second negative voltage V C2 In the seventh time, only the third switch circuit is turned on, the touch electrode is connected to the ground GND, the touch electrode is discharged, so that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to zero voltage; in the eighth time period, touch electrode Connect to the first storage capacitor C S1 , First storage capacitor C S1 Transferring the stored charge to the touch electrode such that the voltage across the touch electrode is equal to the second positive voltage V C1.
[0049] Further, since the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode often needs to achieve a stable value, in order to ensure that the touch electrodes can be sufficiently charged in the corresponding period, it can be set A switching circuit, a second switching circuit, a third switching circuit, a fourth switching circuit, and a stepping time of the fifth switching circuit are greater than or equal to the time of the voltage of the electrodes to establish to the stable value within the corresponding period, thereby ensuring touch The signal amplitude of the drive signal output of the drive circuit and the driving power consumption of the touch drive circuit can achieve the target value of the design. For example, in the first time period, the first switching circuit is turned on, and the touch driving circuit outputs the first positive voltage to charge the electrode, and when the voltage in the electrode is raised to the stabilizing value, or in the electrode. After the voltage is raised to the stability value, the first switch circuit is turned on, and the second switching circuit is turned on; if the voltage is not raised to the stabilization value, the second switch is turned off, and the second switch is disconnected. The circuit is turned on, which causes the positive voltage amplitude of the drive signal to reach V. DD Further, the signal amplitude of the drive signal cannot reach 2V. DD Further, for example, in the fourth time period, the fourth switching circuit is turned on, and the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode begins by the zero voltage. If the voltage at both ends of the touch electrode does not fall to the stabilizing value, the fourth switch will The circuit is disconnected, and the fifth switching circuit is turned on, i.e., the power supply voltage generating circuit is driven to drive the touch electrode, and the voltage variation of the touch electrode at both ends of the touch electrode is directly driven by the power supply voltage on the touch electrode directly by the power supply voltage. Increased, thereby causing greater driving power consumption.
[0050] Such as Figure 4 As shown, a waveform of a driving signal provided in the present application embodiment, the drive signal can be image 3 The touch drive circuit shown, and the second positive voltage V C1 And the second negative voltage V C2 The value has been basically stable. It can be seen that the waveform of the drive signal is stepped, the signal amplitude is 2V. DD And in one cycle T, only the first time period And fifth time Directly charge the touch electrode directly by the power supply voltage, which is equivalent to only the first time period And fifth time Generate actual drive power consumption. Due to the operation of the touch drive circuit, the first storage capacitor C S1 Equivalent capacitance C with touch electrode C L There is a charge transfer, so before and after the charge transfer, the first storage capacitor C S1 The amount of charge and the voltage value at both ends have a certain change, in order to facilitate the calculation of the driving power consumption of the touch drive circuit, the first time period Internal first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage at both ends tends to stabilize the value of V. C1_1 , The second time period Internal first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage at both ends tends to stabilize the value of V. C1_2.
[0051] Such as Figure 5 As shown, a first time period provided by the embodiment of the present application And the second time The internal touch drive circuit is schematically illustrated on the touch electrode; the first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage value on both ends has been basically stable. It can be seen, in the first time period Internal, first positive voltage V DD Equivalent capacitor C for touch electrode C L Charging, first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage stabilized at both ends in the voltage value V C1_1 In the second time period Equivalent capacitance C in touch electrode L To the first storage capacitor C S1 Transfer positive charge to make the equivalent capacitor C L And the first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage at both ends is stable in the voltage value V C1_2 And voltage value V C1_2 Slightly above the voltage value V C1_1. According to the law of charge conservation, the above respective voltage values and capacitance values are satisfied:
[0052] V DD * C L + V C1_1 * C S1 = V C1_2 * (C L + C S1 ) (Formula 1)
[0053] Such as Figure 6 As shown, a seventh time period provided in the present application embodiment And eighth time The internal touch drive circuit is schematically illustrated on the touch electrode. Can be seen, in the seventh time Equivalent capacitance C in touch electrode L Discharge, first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage stabilized at both ends in the voltage value V C1_2 In the eighth time Equivalent capacitance C in touch electrode L To the first storage capacitor C S1 Transfer negative charge to make the equivalent capacitor C L And the first storage capacitor C S1 The voltage at both ends is stable in the voltage value V C1_1. According to the law of charge conservation, the above voltage value and the capacitance value satisfy the following relationship:
[0054] V C1_2 * C S1 = V C1_1 * (C L + C S1 (Equation 2)
[0055] Combined with Equation 1 and Equation 2, it can be calculated:
[0056] V C1_1 = V DD * C S1 / (2C S1 + C L (Equation 3)
[0057] V C1_2 = V DD * (C L + C S1 ) / (2C S1 + C L (Equation 4)
[0058] When the first storage capacitor C S1 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L Capacitor value (ie C S1 C L When you can get: V C1_1 ≈V C1_2 ≈1 / 2V DD. Specifically, it can be in the first storage capacitor C S1 The capacitance value is greater than the capacitor C. L When 50 to 100 times the capacitance value, determine the first storage capacitor C S1 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L The capacitance value.
[0059] Similarly, when the second storage capacitor C S2 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L When the capacitance value, the second negative voltage V can be obtained. C2 Approximate equal to -1 / 2V DD. Specifically, can be in the second storage capacitor C S2 The capacitance value is greater than the capacitor C. L When 50 to 100 times the capacitance value, the second storage capacitor C is determined S2 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L The capacitance value.
[0060] Due to only the first time during one cycle T And fifth time The touch electrode is driven directly from the power supply voltage, which is equivalent to generating the actual driving power consumption only in these two periods, so when the frequency of the drive signal is f, it can be calculated image 3 The actual drive power consumption shown in a cycle T actually drives P = (1 / 2V) DD ) * C L * f * v DD * 2 = C L * V DD 2 * f, and the signal amplitude of the drive signal is 2V DD Where f = 1 / t is the frequency of the drive signal. However, for a conventional touch drive circuit, when the output drive signal has a signal amplitude of 2V DD When the driving power consumption in one cycle T is 4 * c L * V DD 2 * f. Therefore, the touch driving circuit provided herein provides a high drive voltage while providing a high drive voltage.
[0061] It should be noted that the driving power consumption of the touch drive circuit can also be divided into two parts, one of which is the resistance R when charging the touch electrode L The upper loss, the other part is the resistance R when the touch electrode is discharged. L Lost, these two partial losses are 1/2 * c in one cycle T L * V DD 2 * f, the touch drive circuit is currently c contemporary in one cycle T L * V DD 2 * f.
[0062] Further, in the present application embodiment, the first storage capacitor C can be provided. S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The capacitance value is equal, and it is much larger than the equivalent capacitive value C of the touch electrode. L , Set C S1 = C S2 C L.
[0063] Specifically, the respective switching circuits in the present application embodiment may consist of one or more MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, metal-oxide-semiconductor) field effect tubes, which are simply referred to as MOS tubes in order to facilitate description.
[0064] Such as Figure 7 As shown, it is a structural diagram of still another touch driving circuit according to the embodiment of the present application. Based on the above embodiment disclosed, in the present embodiment, the first switching circuit further includes a first MOS tube S. A1 The second switching circuit further includes a second MOS tube S A2 The fourth switching circuit further includes a fourth MOS tube S B1 The fifth switching circuit further includes a fifth MOS tube S B2 The third switching circuit further includes a third MOS tube S A3 And sixth MOS tube s B3; Where the first MOS pipe S A1 , Sixth MOS tube S B3 And the first pressure pipe S CA All are P-type MOS tubes, the second MOS pipe S A2 , Third MOS tube S A3 , Fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And the second pressure pipe S CB All are N-type MOS tubes.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 7 The specific connection relationship of each element in the touch driving circuit 30 is as follows: the first MOS tube S A1 Source Access First Positive Voltage V DD , First MOS pipe S A1 Open drain to the first pressure pipe S CA Source; second MOS tube S A2 Source connection to the first pressure pipe S CA Source, second MOS pipe S A2 Oil can be connected to the first storage capacitor C S1 The first end; the third MOS pipe S A3 Source connection to ground GND, third MOS tube S A3 Open drain to the first pressure pipe S CA Source; fourth MOS pipe S B1 Source connection to the second storage capacitor C S2 The first end, the fourth MOS pipe S B1 Object to the second pressure pipe S CB Source; fifth MOS pipe S B2 Source Access First Negative Voltage -V DD , Fifth MOS tube S B2 Object to the second pressure pipe S CB Source; sixth MOS tube S B3 Source connection to ground GND, sixth MOS pipe S B3 Object to the second pressure pipe S CB Source; first storage capacitor C S1 And the second storage capacitor C S2 The second end is connected to the ground GND; the first pressure pipe S CA And the second pressure pipe S CB The drain is both connected to the touch electrode.
[0066] Since the MOS tube element obtained by the CMOS process is usually equal to the power supply voltage V DD However, in part, the voltage values across several MOS tubes in the switching circuit exceed their resistance values, so it is easy to cause problems such as MOS tube burnout. Therefore, the first pressurizing tube S can be respectively according to the pressure difference between the respective MOS tubes at both ends of the respective MOS tubes. CA And the second pressure pipe S CB The gate access voltage is set to prevent the voltage from which the voltage at both ends of the MOS tube exceeds its voltage resistance, and does not affect the touch drive circuit to charge and discharge the touch electrode. Specifically, the first pressure pipe S CA Can prevent the first MOS tube S A1 , Second MOS tube S A2 And the third MOS tube S A3 The voltage over both ends exceeds its voltage resistance; the second pressure pipe S CB Can prevent the fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And sixth MOS tube s B3 The voltage at both ends exceeds its voltage resistance. Among them, the voltage across the MOS tube is specific to the voltage between the source and the drain of the MOS tube, that is, the source leakage voltage V. SD Or leak voltage V DS.

[0068] In the first time period, the first MOS tube S A1 Tong, the first pressure pipe S CA And the second pressure pipe S CB The gate is connected to the ground GND, and the other five MOS tube is turned off.
[0069] During this time period, since the first pressure pipe S CA Gate voltage V a Equal to 0, the source voltage is higher than the gate voltage V a , So the first pressure pipe S CA Tong, does not affect the touch drive circuit 30 output the first positive voltage V DD Capacitor C L Charging until capacitance C L The voltage at both ends is equal to the first positive voltage V DD. Also because the second pressure pipe S CB Gate voltage V b Equal to 0, so only when the second pressure pipe S CB When the source voltage is less than 0, the second pressure pipe S CB Can be turned on, while the second pressure pipe S CB When the source voltage is above or equal to 0, the second pressure pipe S CB As of this time, the second pressure pipe S is in this period. CB Defined, avoiding the fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And sixth MOS tube s B3 Leakage source voltage exceeds the voltage-specific value V DD Thereby prevent fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And sixth MOS tube s B3 Burnout.
[0070] In the second time period, the second MOS pipe S A2 Tong, the first pressure pipe S CA And the second pressure pipe S CB The gate is connected to the ground GND, and the other five MOS tube is turned off.
[0071] During this time period, since the first pressure pipe S CA Gate voltage V a Equal to 0, the source voltage is higher than the gate voltage V a , So the first pressure pipe S CA Tong, do not affect capacitive C L First storage capacitor C S1 Discharge until capacitance C L The voltage and the first storage capacitance at both ends C S1 Even if the voltage is equal to both ends L The voltage at both ends is made from the first positive voltage V DD Changed to the second positive voltage V C1 (0 C1 DD ). Also because the second pressure pipe S CB Gate voltage V b Equal to 0, so the second pressure pipe S CB Defined, avoiding the fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And sixth MOS tube s B3 Leakage source voltage exceeds the voltage-specific value V DD.
[0072] In the third time, the third MOS tube S A3 Tong, the first pressure pipe S CA The voltage value of the gate access is equal to the second positive voltage V C1 Minus the first positive voltage V DD Difference, ie the first pressure pipe S CA The voltage value of the gate access is equal to V C1 -V DD , Second pressure pipe S CB The gate is connected to the ground GND, and the other five MOS tube is turned off.
[0073] During this time period, since the first pressure pipe S CA Gate voltage V a Equal to V C1 -V DD , So the gate voltage V a <0, the source voltage is higher than the gate voltage V a , First pressure pipe S CA Tong, do not affect capacitive C L Discharge the capacitor C L The voltage at both ends is from the second positive voltage V C1 Change to 0. Also because the second pressure pipe S CB Gate voltage V b Equal to 0, so the second pressure pipe S CB Defined, avoiding the fourth MOS tube S B1 , Fifth MOS tube S B2 And sixth MOS tube s B3 Leakage source voltage exceeds the voltage-specific value V DD. In addition, when the first storage capacitor C S1 The capacitance value is much larger than the capacitor C. L When the capacitance value, V a = V C1 -V DD ≈-1 / 2V DD.
[0074] In the fourth time period, the fourth MOS tube S B1 Tong, the first pressure pipe S CA And the second pressure pipe S CB The gate is connected to the ground GND, and the other five MOS tube is turned off.
