There is a small amount of capacitance from the inter-
nal A/D Converter sample capacitor as well as stray
capacitance from the circuit board traces and pads that
affect the precision of capacitance measurements. A
measurement of the stray capacitance can be taken by
making sure the desired capacitance to be measured
has been removed.
After removing the capacitance to be measured:

Where:
• I is known from the current source measurement
• t is a fixed delay
• V is measured by performing an A/D conversion

step
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT (= 1 ).
Wait for a fixed delay of time, t .
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the stray and A/D sample capacitances:

Preliminary
This measured value is then stored and used for
calculations of time measurement or subtracted for
capacitance measurement. For calibration, it is
expected that the capacitance of C
approximately known; C
An iterative process may be required to adjust the time,
t , that the circuit is charged to obtain a reasonable volt-
age reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t may
be determined by setting C
and solving for t . For example, if C
calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected to be 70% of
V
or 63  s.
