A Capacitive Sensor Interface Circuit Based on Phase Differential Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new interface circuit for capacitive sensor is presented. This paper presents the design and simulation of soil moisture capacitive sensor interface circuit based on phase differential technique. The circuit has been designed and fabricated using MIMOS’ 0.35μm CMOS technology. Simulation and test results show linear characteristic from 36 – 52 degree phase difference, representing 0 – 100% in soil moisture level. Test result shows the circuit has sensitivity of 0.79mV/0.1 phase difference, translating into resolution of 10% soil moisture level. Keywords—Capacitive sensor, interface, phase differential.

متن کاملCharge-transfer-based Signal Interface for Differential Capacitive Sensors
We propose a circuit to directly connect a differential capacitive sensor to a microcontroller unit (MCU), which is based on the charge-transfer method and does not need any calibration component. The performance has been tested by emulating the differential capacitive sensor with discrete components. The major uncertainty sources are residual stray capacitances. The maximal deviation obtaine...
