A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886662B2) discloses a sensing device with a unique configuration. The device includes a plurality of sensing electrodes arranged in both row and column directions, a sensing circuit with read-out circuits connected to the electrodes, and an arithmetic circuit for processing sensing signals. The read-out circuits are designed to detect different sensing signals based on various drive signals and sampling frequencies. An arithmetic circuit calculates noise levels using the output signals from the read-out circuits, providing a comprehensive analysis of the data gathered.

Furthermore, the patent details a driving method for the sensing device, emphasizing the one-to-one connection between sensing electrodes and read-out circuits via wiring. The method involves reading and driving the circuits simultaneously at multiple sampling frequencies, generating output signals for arithmetic processing. By utilizing different sampling frequencies and conducting thorough arithmetic calculations, the method aims to accurately determine the amount of noise present in the sensing device. This innovative approach to sensing technology showcases a sophisticated system for noise detection and signal processing, potentially offering advancements in various industries requiring precise sensing capabilities.
