Abstract

Claims (16)

1 . A photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk, comprising:

a first capacitor;

a first switch coupled between a current source and the first capacitor and configured to turn on according to a driving signal and enable the current source to charge the first capacitor to generate a first capacitor voltage;

a second switch coupled between the first capacitor and an input terminal and configured to turn on according to a cancellation signal; and

a current-voltage conversion circuit coupled to the second switch and configured to receive an input current corresponding to a crosstalk signal and a non-crosstalk signal to generate a crosstalk voltage corresponding to the input current,

wherein, when the second switch turns on, the crosstalk voltage is subtracted from the first capacitor voltage to cancel the crosstalk signal, so as to output a sensing voltage;

wherein the current-voltage conversion circuit further comprises:

an operational amplifier having an inverting input terminal, a non-inverting input terminal and an amplified output terminal, the inverting input terminal being coupled to the second switch, and the non-inverting input terminal being coupled to a rated voltage;

a third switch coupled between the inverting input terminal and the amplified output terminal and configured to turn on or turn off according to a state of a reset signal; and

a second capacitor coupled between the inverting input terminal and the amplified output terminal and configured to generate the crosstalk voltage; and

wherein the amplified output terminal is further coupled to a sample-and-hold circuit comprising a fourth switch coupled between the amplified output terminal and a third capacitor, and the fourth switch turns on or turns off according to a state of a sample-and-hold signal to convert the sensing voltage into a digital signal.

2 . The photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk of claim 1 , further comprising a timing control circuit coupled to the first switch, the second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch to generate the reset signal, the driving signal, the cancellation signal and the sample-and-hold signal.

3 . The photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk of claim 2 , wherein the timing control circuit receives a pulse train signal, generates the cancellation signal with a pulse train according to an ON cycle of the driving signal, and sends the cancellation signal with the pulse train to the second switch.

4 . The photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk of claim 3 , wherein the second switch turns on at a rising edge of the cancellation signal with the pulse train.

5 . The photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk of claim 2 , further comprising an amplifier circuit and a Schmitt trigger circuit which are coupled between the first switch and the timing control circuit, allowing the timing control circuit to generate the cancellation signal with a pulse train according to an ON cycle of the driving signal and send the cancellation signal with the pulse train to the second switch.

6 . The photoelectric sensing device for canceling crosstalk of claim 5 , wherein the second switch turns on at a rising edge of the cancellation signal with the pulse train.
