19.4
There are two separate methods of measuring
capacitance with the CTMU. The first is the absolute
method, in which the actual capacitance value is
desired. The second is the relative method, in which
the actual capacitance is not needed, rather an
indication of a change in capacitance is required.
19.4.1
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps found in
Section 19.3 “Calibrating the CTMU Module”
should be followed. Capacitance measurements are
then performed using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

19.4.2
An application may not require precise capacitance
measurements. For example, when detecting a valid
press of a capacitance-based switch, detecting a rela-
tive change of capacitance is of interest. In this type of
application, when the switch is open (or not touched),
the total capacitance is the capacitance of the combi-
nation of the board traces, the A/D Converter, etc. A
larger voltage will be measured by the A/D Converter.
When the switch is closed (or is touched), the total
capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances, and a smaller voltage will be measured
by the A/D Converter.
Detecting capacitance changes is easily accomplished
with the CTMU using these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The voltage measured by performing the A/D
conversion is an indication of the relative capacitance.
Note that in this case, no calibration of the current
source or circuit capacitance measurement is needed.
