Abstract:
An input device that inputs information corresponding to a change in pressure due to load includes: a first charge detection circuit that outputs a first detection signal corresponding to charges generated in a first piezoelectric sensor and a second piezoelectric sensor; and a switch circuit provided on a path through which the charges are transmitted from the first and second piezoelectric sensors to the first charge detection circuit. The first charge detection circuit alternately iterates a first period in which a first charge is input from a first positive electrode via the switch circuit and a second period in which a second charge is input from a second negative electrode via the switch circuit, reverses a sign of one of the first and second charges, combines a resulting charge with the other charge, and outputs the first detection signal corresponding to the amount of accumulation of the combined charge.
