Abstract:
A capacitance detection circuit for measuring an electrostatic capacitance, includes: a control signal generator configured to generate a control signal; a drive circuit having a push-pull type output stage and configured to apply a drive voltage to the electrostatic capacitance according to the control signal; a current detection circuit configured to generate a detection current which is a replica of a current flowing through the output stage of the drive circuit; and an integrating circuit configured to integrate the detection current to generate a detection voltage.
