Abstract:
The present invention concerns an electronic measurement circuit for measuring a physical parameter. The circuit comprises: a measurement sensor comprising two differential mounted capacitors each comprising a fixed electrode, and a common electrode, common to the two capacitors which is arranged to be movable relative to each fixed electrode of the two capacitors in order to alter the capacitive value of each capacitor when the physical parameter is measured. The circuit further comprises a first integrator unit connected to the common electrode for integrating charge received from the measurement sensor, and comprising two integrators arranged to be connected alternately to the common electrode; a second integrator unit connected to the first integrator unit for integrating charge received from the first integrator unit; a comparator for comparing analogue output values from the second integrator unit; a switch circuit connected to the measurement sensor for switching different voltage values across the two capacitors; and a feedback circuit for feeding a digital output signal of the comparator to the switch circuit for controlling the operation of the switch circuit.
