A fingerprint detection device and method and an associated touch control device with fingerprint detection are disclosed. The fingerprint detection device includes special detecting units for upgrading the accuracy of fingerprint detection. The fingerprint detection device comprises a plurality of detecting units, a driving circuit and a reading circuit. Each detecting unit includes a fingerprint electrode and a storage capacitor coupled to the fingerprint electrode. A sense capacitor can be formed between the fingerprint electrode and a finger, where the sense capacitor is parallel connected to the storage capacitor. The driving circuit is coupled to the detecting units and provides a charging signal to charge an equivalent capacitor of each detecting unit, where the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor is determined according to whether the sense capacitor is formed within the detecting unit. The reading circuit is coupled to the detecting units and reads the voltage of the storage capacitor after the equivalent capacitor is charged, so as to determine whether the detecting unit detects a portion of fingerprint and the detected portion is a furrow or ridge. |
