Abstract:
A capacitive sensing system includes a controller, a node connected to one side of a capacitance, the controller configured to measure the capacitance by measuring a time for a voltage across the capacitance to reach a predetermined reference voltage, a noise measurement circuit configured to measure electrical noise on the node, and the controller receiving the measurement of noise from the noise measurement circuit.
