Abstract:

Based on the principle of TDC, a weak capacitance measurement circuit for MEMS capacitive pressure sensors was proposed in this paper. Taking STM32F103 as the main controller, the circuit conducted the timing control of Pcap01 through SP1 bus to complete the collection, analysis, processing and display of the capacitance data. The circuit had the characteristics including small volume, strong anti-interference ability, high resolution and high update rate. Measurements of static capacitance below 10 pF and MEMS capacitive pressure sensor showed that the circuit had a good performance with resolution of 61 aF and 16 bits of effective precision at a refresh rate of 10 Hz.
