1. A touch sensing apparatus, comprising:

  • a driving circuit unit applying a driving signal to at least one of a plurality of first electrodes;

    a sensing circuit unit generating an analog signal by detecting variations in capacitance in second electrodes intersecting the at least one of the first electrodes to which the driving signal is applied;

    a signal converting unit converting the analog signal into a digital signal; and

    a comparison circuit unit comparing a level of the analog signal input into the signal converting unit with an upper limit signal level and a lower limit signal level to determine a dynamic range of the signal converting unit, generating a comparison result signal to decrease a level of the driving signal if the level of the analog signal is higher than the upper limit signal level of the dynamic range of the signal converting unit, and generating the comparison result signal to increase the level of the driving signal if the level of the analog signal is lower than the lower limit signal level of the dynamic range of the signal converting unit, andthe driving circuit unit controlling a frequency of the driving signal according to electric noise and controlling the level of the driving signal according to the comparison result signal from the comparison circuit unit.
