Abstract: Touch positions can be detected with a high accuracy. A receiver receives a charge-discharge current signal of a receiving electrode in response to a drive (pulse) signal applied to a transmission electrode, and outputs a level signal of each electrode intersection. The receiver includes an IV converter that converts the charge-discharge current signal to a voltage signal. A  conversion characteristic of the IV converter is set such that phases of amplitude of the voltage signal corresponding to a leading edge and a trailing edge of a pulse wave of the drive signal substantially match each other, and phases of amplitude of the voltage signal corresponding to the trailing edge of the pulse wave and a leading edge of a succeeding pulse wave substantially match each other.

Abstract: An opto-isolator multi-voltage detection circuit is capable to handle a wide range of input voltages ranging from about 9 volts DC to about 240 volts AC includes an input voltage, an opto-isolator, a rectifier, a voltage divider, first and second transistors, and a DC to DC converter. The voltage divider operatively coupled to the first and second transistors is capable of evenly dividing the input voltage across the first and second transistors. The DC to DC converter operatively coupled to the transistors, the voltage divider, and the opto- isolator is capable of maintaining an output current from the rectifier. The use of the DC  to DC converter, the voltage divider, and the transistors provide benefit of reducing a power dissipated throughout the entire circuit.
