24.3.2
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. The measurement is then
performed using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
where I is known from the current source measurement
step, t is a fixed delay and V is measured by performing
an A/D conversion.
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 need to be used to adjust the
time, t, that the circuit is charged to obtain a reasonable
voltage reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t
may be determined by setting C
value, then solving for t. For example, if C
theoretically calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected
to be 70% of V
or 63 μs.
See Example 24-3 for a typical routine for CTMU
capacitance calibration.
