Abstract:
A capacitance measurement circuit module has: a sensor electrode, for input detection, disposed on a wiring board; a sensor-side shield electrode shielding the sensor electrode; board-side measurement terminals connected to the sensor electrode; a board-side shield terminal connected to the sensor-side shield electrode; a measurement integrated circuit having circuit-side measurement terminals connected to the board-side measurement terminals and a circuit-side shield terminal connected to the board-side shield terminal, the circuit outputting measurement signals from the circuit-side measurement terminals and outputting, from the circuit-side shield terminal, a shield signal having the same frequency and phase as the measurement signals, the circuit being disposed on the wiring board and measuring capacitance of the sensor electrode; and a circuit-side shield electrode that is positioned on the wiring board so as to face the measurement integrated circuit and to be adjacent to the board-side measurement terminals and is connected to the board-side shield terminal.
