Input apparatus having electrostatic sensor
First Claim
1. An input apparatus having an electrostatic sensor, comprising:
- clock signal generating means for generating clock signals;
delaying means for generating delayed signals by delaying the signal rise time of the clock signal according to the capacitance detected when a human appendage approaches or contacts the electrostatic sensor;
AND means for receiving the clock signal and the delayed signal as input signals and outputting these signals as an output signal; and
smoothing means for smoothing and outputting the output of the AND means.

Abstract
An input apparatus having a reduced-size electrostatic sensor that can precisely detect an input and then output a signal and, thus, has excellent responsiveness and reliability comprises the following: clock signal generating means for generating clock signals; delaying means for generating delayed signals by delaying the signal rise time of the clock signal according to the capacitance detected when a human appendage approaches or contacts the electrostatic sensor; AND means for receiving the clock signal and the delayed signal as input signals and then outputting these signals as an output signal; and smoothing means for smoothing and outputting the output of the analog switch.
