A touch panel includes a plurality of X-directional sensing lines and a plurality of Y-directional sensing lines. The X-directional sensing lines and the Y-directional sensing lines are arranged in a staggered manner. The control device includes a clock generation circuit, a selection module, a drive signal generation circuit, a digital to analog conversion module, first and second capacitors and a differential detection circuit. The X-directional sensing lines and Y-directional sensing lines on the touch panel operate according to a predetermined scanning sequence. According to the control device and the predetermined scanning sequence of the present invention, the sensing speed of the touch panel can be improved.
