1With Δ V
2Between, Δ V wherein
1=VR-V3, Δ V
2=VR-V2.If the voltage of this testing capacitance is to utilize its magnitude of voltage of analog to digital converter decision, then this kind external environment noise will cause the voltage quasi position mistake in judgment of analog to digital converter, and make last voltage transitions intensity occurrence of errors.
In view of the above, industry is needed to be a kind of capacitance determining method, and it has noise suppression effect avoiding losing accurate problem because of the external environment noise causes capacitance detecting, and the variation tolerance that can promote electric capacity and impedance on the technology simultaneously is with the improvement process yield.
