Abstract

This paper presents a novel architecture for capacitive sensor interfaces that is insensitive to electro magnetic interferers in hostile environments. A bridge structure, with a feedback control and a special band-pass filter, overcomes the problems that affect the standard approaches. Behavioural level simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the idea for 12-bit resolution.
