[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0015] The following is combined Figures 1-2 This invention describes a touch sensitivity control circuit for an electronic device, comprising: a power connection terminal, a CPU connection terminal, a touch chip U1, a voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV, and a touch button TP;
[0016] The touch chip U1 is connected to the power supply terminal, the CPU terminal, the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV, and the touch button TP. The voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV is also connected to the CPU terminal and the touch button TP.
[0017] Furthermore, the touch chip U1 is model HK11BP, which has 5 pins: TCH pin, OC pin, CFG pin, VDD pin, and GND pin. The TCH pin of the touch chip U1 is connected to the touch button TP through the first resistor R1, the OC pin is connected to the CPU connection terminal, the VDD pin is connected to the power supply connection terminal, and the GND pin and CFG pin are grounded respectively.
[0018] Furthermore, the OC pin of the touch chip U1 is also connected to the power supply terminal through the second resistor R2, the TCH pin is also connected to the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV, and the VDD pin is also grounded through the second capacitor C2.
[0019] In this embodiment, the OC pin of the touch chip U1 is the sensitivity signal output pin of the touch button TP. The strength of this sensitivity signal determines the functional response level of the touch button of the electronic device after it is touched.
[0020] The voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV has the model number LXRW19V330-050 and has 5 pins: NC pin, VT pin, GND pin, PORT1 pin, and PORT2 pin. The VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV is connected to the CPU terminal through the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the sixth resistor R6 in parallel. The PORT1 pin is connected to the TCH pin of the touch chip U1 through the first capacitor C1. The NC pin is left floating, and the GND pin and PORT2 pin are grounded respectively.
[0021] Furthermore, the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV is also grounded through a third resistor R3.
[0022] As its name suggests, the voltage-controlled variable capacitor (CV) is a capacitor whose capacitance value can be flexibly adjusted. The smaller the capacitance value, the more significant the voltage change caused by a unit charge, thus amplifying the signal fluctuations caused by the touch button TP, making it easier for the system to detect and respond quickly. The voltage value of the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV determines its capacitance value, which in turn affects the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1. The larger the voltage value of the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV and the smaller the capacitance value of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV, the higher the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1, and the more sensitive the function triggered by the touch button TP. Conversely, the function triggered by the touch button TP will be relatively sluggish.
[0023] In a specific embodiment, the CPU has three voltage control pins: IO1, IO2, and IO3. IO1 controls the voltage applied to the fourth resistor R4, IO2 controls the voltage applied to the fifth resistor R5, and IO3 controls the voltage applied to the sixth resistor R6. The voltage values of the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the sixth resistor R6 are connected in parallel and then divided by the third resistor R3 to form the voltage applied to the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV. When the capacitance value of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV is relatively small, the TCH pin of the touch chip U1 is strongly sensitive to the function trigger signal received from the touch button TP due to the capacitance value of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV. This results in a higher sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1. Similarly, if the user feels that the electronic device is too sensitive to the current environment, they can lower the system voltage to increase the capacitance value of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV. In this case, the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV has a stronger charge storage capacity, and the voltage fluctuation caused by the external trigger signal to the circuit is smaller. This results in a lower function trigger signal strength received by the TCH pin of the touch chip U1, which in turn reduces the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1 to adapt to the current environment.
[0024] Furthermore, the resistance values of the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the sixth resistor R6 are all different. Users can apply different voltage values to each resistor via the CPU's three voltage control pins (this can be done with single-pin control or by freely combining multiple pins to control the voltage output, giving the CPU multi-level control functionality), thereby controlling the voltage value of the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV. The sensitivity of the touch button TP can be flexibly adjusted according to the usage scenario and the user's hand position, ensuring timely response and triggering of corresponding functions.
[0025] In this embodiment, when a user needs to trigger the touch button TP to activate the relevant functions of the electronic device, the historical sensitivity level of the touch button TP can be maintained. If the device responds promptly on the first trigger, it can be assumed that the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1 is just suitable for the user's usage scenario, and there is no need to adjust the sensitivity of the touch button TP. However, if the user triggers the touch button TP for the first time or repeatedly and the corresponding function of the electronic device cannot respond promptly, it indicates that the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1 is low, resulting in a sluggish response of the touch button TP, which cannot meet the user's usage scenario. In this case, the CPU needs to increase the voltage value of the VT pin of the voltage-controlled variable capacitor CV, thereby reducing its capacitance value. This enhances the sensitivity signal strength output by the OC pin of the touch chip U1. Therefore, after the CPU finishes adjusting the voltage, the sensitivity of the touch button TP will increase, and when the user triggers the touch button TP again, the electronic device will respond promptly and execute the corresponding function quickly.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
