Abstract:
A circuit includes a sensor and a half-bridge circuit. The sensor includes a first sensor capacitor and a second sensor capacitor, where capacitances of the first sensor capacitor and the second sensor capacitor change in opposing directions responsive to receiving a physical signal. The sensor generates a plurality of sensor signals according to the physical signal, the plurality of signals including a common mode injection and a plurality of differential signals. The half-bridge circuit includes a first half-bridge capacitor and a second half-bridge capacitor, where capacitances of the first half-bridge capacitor and the second half-bridge capacitor compensate for the common mode injection of the plurality of sensor signals. The sensor and the half-bridge circuit are coupled to a plurality of sense nodes configured to output the plurality of differential signals.
