<p>In a capacitance detecting device including an offset adjustment circuit for removing offset from charge transmitted to an integrator from a charge reading mechanism, the offset adjustment circuit includes a variable capacitance element switching the number of capacitative elements connected in parallel to a charge transmission line made up of a plurality of the capacitative elements and setting the number to a predetermined capacitance value; and a capacitative element for adjustment connected in parallel to the variable capacitance element and parallel, and having a capacitance value corresponding to the minimum value of the capacitative elements constituting the variable capacitance element. Driving is controlled so that offset removal is performed only N times (M>N; M and N are natural numbers) in the capacitative element for adjustment while offset removal is repeated M times in the variable capacitance element.</p> |
