Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a touch switch for converting a change in capacitance to a frequency by means of a C/F conversion circuit from malfunctioning owing to synchronization or interference with radio noise or power noise whose frequency is the same as or near to the generated frequency.SOLUTION: A capacitive coupling type electrostatic sensor includes: synchronous oscillation circuits 5, 6 for converting a signal generated by an oscillator 4 to a sin signal and a cos signal synchronized, respectively; a current-voltage conversion circuit 15 for converting to a voltage a current flowing through a member 101 providing an impedance and an electrode 111 connected to the member when the sin signal is applied to the member and the electrode; multiplication circuits 19, 20 for multiplying the converted voltage by the sin signal and the cos signal to generate DC signals, respectively; and low pass filter circuits 21, 22 for stabilizing the DC signals, respectively. The stabilized DC signals are compared with a threshold stored beforehand in an arithmetic device to determine an on/off state of the touch switch. 【課題】静電容量の変化をC/F変換回路で周波数に変換するタッチスイッチにおいて、生成される周波数と同じまたは近い周波数である電波ノイズまたは、電源ノイズによる同期または干渉による誤動作を防止する。【解決手段】発振器4で生成する信号を同期がとれたsin信号とcos信号とにそれぞれ変換する同期発振回路5、6と、前記sin信号を、インピーダンスを成す部材101と前記部材に接続する電極111とに印加し、前記部材と前記電極に流れる電流を電圧に変換する電流・電圧変換回路15と、前記変換された電圧に、前記sin信号及びcos信号をそれぞれ掛け算してDC信号を生成する掛け算回路19、20と、該DC信号をそれぞれ安定化させるローパス・フィルタ回路21、22とを備え、前記安定化されたDC信号と演算装置に予め格納している閾値とを比較することにより、タッチスイッチのオン、オフ状態を判断する。【選択図】図2
