Abstract:
A controller controls a plurality of sensor electrodes. To a plurality of sense pins, the plurality of sensor electrodes are connected. A plurality of capacitance detection circuits respectively measure capacitance values of the corresponding sense pins. A calibration circuit calibrates the plurality of capacitance detection circuits. A relative relationship among the respective capacitance values of the plurality of sense pins is used for abnormality detection.
