S2上存储的电荷量达到上限时,可以重新控制S11和S12闭合以清零第一电容积分器C
S1和第二电容积分器C

接下来,控制电路230可以控制上述开关的开关状态即闭合或断开,从而实现第一阶段至第三阶段的操作,下面以表一所示的开关状态和图4所示的逻辑时序图为例具体说明该电容检测电路的工作过程。
表一
在第一阶段,例如图4所示的t2至t3阶段,控制电路230可以控制开关S1、S4~S12、S14断开,开关S2、S3、S13闭合。从而第一电流源I

C1充电是同时进行的。
由于比较器的同相输入端与检测电容器C

DD,其中,第一积分电路212的第二输入端的输入电压在第二阶段与第一电压V
R1相等。
具体地,S7闭合后,第一积分电路212开始进行积分操作,由于第一运算放大器OP1的虚短特性,第一校准电容器C
C1的上极板和第一积分电容器的左极板电压被钳位到电压V

R2时,比较器的输出端向控制电路230输出的信号会发生翻转,从而使控制电路230知道检测电容器C
X何时被放电至其电压达到第二电压V
R2,从而在检测电容器C

C1放电至第一校准电容器C
C1的电压等于零,其中,第二积分电路的第二输入端的输入电压等于第二电压V
R2。
具体地,S8闭合后,第二积分电路222开始进行积分操作,由于第二运算放大器OP2的虚短特性,第二校准电容器C
C2的上极板和第二积分电容器C
C2的左极板电压被钳位到第二电压V
R2。由于第二运算放大器OP2的虚断特性,在t7时刻第二校准电容器C
C2上存储的电荷将会在第二校准电容器C

通过公式(7)可计算第二积分电路222输出的第二电压信号V
OUTN为:
开关S1和S4闭合后,检测电容器Cx放电至检测电容器Cx的电压等于零,第一校准电容器C
C1放电至第一校准电容器C

OUTP和第二积分电路222输出的第二电压信号V
OUTN分别为:
处理电路240可以基于公式(11)和公式(12),对第一电压信号V
OUTP和第二电压信号V
OUTN进行差分处理可以得到第二差分信号,根据第一差分信号和第二差分信号就可以确定检测电容器Cx的电容变化量△Cx。特别地,当V
R1=V
R2时,第一差分信号为零,因此第二差分信号可以直接反应电容变化量△Cx,也就是直接通过第二差分信号即可得到电容变化量△Cx而无需考虑第一差分信号。
另外,根据公式(11)和公式(12)可以看出,由于第一校准电容器C
C1和第二校准电容器C
C2的存在,第一电压信号V
OUTP和第二电压信号V
OUTN仅反应了电容变化量△Cx的变化情况,而并不涉及检测电容器Cx(可理解为检测电容器Cx的基础电容值Cx
0)。换句话说,第一校准电容器C
C1抵消了基础电容值Cx
0对所述第一积分电路212输出的第一电压信号V
OUTP的贡献量;第二校准电容器C
C2抵消了检测电容器Cx的基础电容值Cx
0对所述第二积分电路222输出的第二电压信号V
OUTN的贡献量。从而,当导体(例如,手指)接近或触摸检测电极时,该电容检测电路输出的信号量都为有用的信号量,即都为△Cx贡献的信号量,从而能够大大提高电容检测的灵敏度。
