If the capacitance on pin IN increases, the discharge time t
will take longer for the voltage on the corresponding comparator to drop below V
once this happens, the comparator output will become LOW and this results in a pulse on

control system that constantly attempts to equalize the discharge time t
This allows compensating for slow changes in capacitance on input pin IN. Fast changes
due to an approaching hand for example will not be compensated. In the equilibrium state
the discharge times are equal and the pulses alternate between CUP and CDN.
From this also follows that an increase in capacitor value C
change per pulse CUP or CDN. Thus the compensation due to internal current sink
