Abstract

La présente demande concerne un circuit de mesure de capacité, une puce tactile et un procédé de réglage de paramètre pour le circuit de mesure de capacité qui permettent d'améliorer la sensibilité de mesure de capacité. Le circuit de mesure de capacité comprend : un premier circuit d'attaque connecté à un condensateur à mesurer et utilisé pour délivrer un premier signal d'attaque; un circuit d'annulation comprenant un condensateur d'annulation et un second circuit d'attaque, le second circuit d'attaque étant connecté au condensateur d'annulation et utilisé pour délivrer un second signal d'attaque; et un circuit d'amplification connecté au condensateur à mesurer ainsi qu'au condensateur d'annulation et utilisé pour délivrer un signal de tension sur la base d'un signal de capacité du condensateur à mesurer et d'un signal de capacité du condensateur d'annulation, le signal de tension étant utilisé pour déterminer, par rapport à une capacité de base, la variation de capacité de la capacité du condensateur à mesurer, la capacité du condensateur d'annulation et les paramètres du second signal d'attaque étant configurés pour minimiser, dans le cas où la capacité du condensateur à mesurer ne change pas par rapport à la capacité de base, le signal de tension délivré par le circuit d'amplification de manière à annuler la capacité de base du condensateur à mesurer.
