Abstract

En sensor (10) med seriekoplete første (24) og andre (36) kondensatorer formet av transduserplater (14, 16, 18) mellom et ladesignal og et utgangsterminal av sensoren slik at første og andre kondensatorer mottar vesentlig samme ladning fra ladesignalet. En forsterker (26) har en første inngang koplet for mottak av en referansespenning, en andre inngang koplet til en forbindelse (28) av første og andre kondensatorer, og en utgang for å framskaffe et første sensor utgangssignal som representerer en eksternt tilført fysisk tilstand. Bryterkretsene vil så reversere den seriell rekkefølgen av første og andre kondensatorer for å få et andre sensor utgangssignal. Første og andre sensor utgangssignal blir subtrahert for å finne endringen i kapasitansen som gjelder den eksternt tilførte fysiske tilstanden.A sensor (10) having series-connected first (24) and second (36) capacitors formed by transducer plates (14, 16, 18) between a charging signal and an output terminal of the sensor so that the first and second capacitors receive substantially the same charge from the charging signal. An amplifier (26) has a first input coupled to receive a reference voltage, a second input coupled to a connection (28) of first and second capacitors, and an output to provide a first sensor output signal representing an externally applied physical state. The switch circuits will then reverse the serial order of the first and second capacitors to obtain a second sensor output signal. The first and second sensor output signals are subtracted to find the change in capacitance that applies to the externally applied physical state.
