In one embodiment, the present disclosure may be directed to a matching network coupled to an RF source and a plasma chamber and including an electronically variable capacitor (EVC) and a control circuit. The control circuit receives parameter signals and determines corresponding parameter values. For each parameter value, the control circuit determines whether the parameter value is relevant to the matching activity and whether the parameter value is relevant to a second activity of the matching network. The matching network carries out the matching activity based on the parameter values determined to be relevant to the matching activity, and carries out the second activity based on the parameter values determined to be relevant to the second activity.
