Touch panel control device and electronic device

A touch panel control device comprising:

• a driving circuit configured to apply a drive signal to a plurality of drive electrodes of a touch panel;
• a detection circuit configured to detect a detection signal from a plurality of detection electrodes of the touch panel;
• a control circuit configured to control the driving circuit and the detection circuit;
• and
• a coordinates calculating section configured to determine coordinates of a touch position on the touch panel based on the detection signal detected by the detection circuit,
• the driving circuit being capable of scanning a predetermined drive electrode of the plurality of drive electrodes,
• the detection circuit being capable of scanning a predetermined detection electrode of the plurality of detection electrodes,
• the control circuit controlling the driving circuit and the detection circuit so that the driving circuit and the detection circuit perform scanning on the plurality of drive electrodes and the plurality of detection electrodes, both of which construct a first area of the touch panel, and perform scanning at least once on part of the plurality of detection electrodes and part of the plurality of drive electrodes, both of which construct a second area within the first area, after the scanning on the first area has been performed but before a subsequent scanning on the first area is started, and
• the control circuit controlling the driving circuit and the detection circuit to perform scanning on the second area within the first area after performing one scanning on the first area and then perform subsequent scanning on the first area.
