1. A capacitive touch system, comprising;
- a touch panel;
at least a first integrated circuit connected to the touch panel, each of the at least a first integrated circuit scanning a respective first portion of the touch panel to retrieve a respective first detected data by itself; and
a second integrated circuit connected to the touch panel and the at least a first integrated circuit, scanning a second portion of the touch panel to retrieve a second detected data, receiving all the first detected data from the at least a first integrated circuit, and calculating with all the first detected data and the second detected data to determine a touch information;
wherein the second integrated circuit and the at least a first integrated circuit simultaneously scan the touch panel to increase the frame rate of the capacitive touch system.

Abstract
A capacitive touch system uses two or more integrated circuits to simultaneously scan a touch panel in such a manner that each of the integrated circuits scans only a portion of the touch panel to retrieve a respective detected data by itself. All the detected data are used for computation by one of the integrated circuits or one other than the integrated circuits to determine a touch information. This approach enables axis intersect projected capacitance touch integrated circuits applicable to a large scale touch panel, without degrading the frame rate of a capacitive touch system.
