Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods of capacitance-to-digital code conversion are described. One apparatus includes a bridge circuit and a modulator front-end circuit. The bridge circuit includes a first terminal to couple to a reference cell and a second terminal to couple to a sensor cell. The modulator front-end circuit includes a comparator coupled to the bridge circuit, a first modulation capacitor coupled to a first input of the comparator, and a second modulation capacitor coupled to a second input of the comparator. The modulator front-end circuit provides a digital bitstream. A duty cycle of the digital bitstream is representative of a ratio between a capacitance of the sensor cell and a reference capacitance of the reference cell.
