Measurement method for capacitive sensors for microcontrollers based on a phase shifter

? 2022 Elsevier LtdA complete measurement method dedicated to capacitive sensors has been developed. It includes the development of hardware (an analogue interface circuit for microcontrollers with built-in times/counters and analogue comparators) and software (a measurement procedure and a systematic error calibration (correction) algorithm which is based on a calibration dictionary). The interface circuit consists of a low-pass filter and a phase shifter with a capacitive sensor. A prototype circuit based on a mid-range 8-bit microcontroller has been developed and investigated. We also analysed the relative inaccuracy of a measured capacitance of the sensor and performed experimental research. We obtained the relative errors of capacitance determination < 0.06%, which gives a measurement accuracy < 72 fF for the assumed range of the capacitance (100–300 pF).
