CAPACITANCE SENSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A capacitance sensing apparatus may include: a calculating unit calculating each of a plurality of variations between plurality of first and second detection signals by comparing the plurality of first detection signals detected from each of a plurality of node capacitors in accordance with applying of a first driving signal with the plurality of second detection signals detected from each of the plurality of node capacitors in accordance with applying of a second driving signal; a comparing unit determining whether or not each of the plurality of variations is within a tolerance range; and a compensation controlling unit controlling compensation of a detection capacitance storing capacitance of a corresponding node capacitor in a case in which a variation outside of the tolerance range among the plurality of variations is present, so as to allow the variation to be within the tolerance range.
