    Notes: Abstract A low-cost CMOS integrated interface for capacitivesensors is presented. The interface is composed of two separatechips: a capacitance-controlled oscillator and a selector, whichresult in a structure that is able to measure several capacitancesaccurately and has a microcontroller-compatible output. In thisinterface, even large parasitic capacitances of up to 3 nF betweenthe terminals of the capacitor to be measured and ground areallowed. Prototypes of the interface chips have been fabricatedin a 0.7-µm CMOS process. The frequency of theoscillator amounts to 90 kHz. For the capacitance measurement,the interface has a resolution of 11.3 ppm and a nonlinearityof 300 ppm over a measurement range of 2 pF. In this paper, alsothe application of the interface in an accurate capacitive angularencoder is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents a new universal transducer interface.This interface, which is read out by a microcontroller, servicesthe following sensor elements: capacitors, platinum resistors,thermistors, resistive bridges and potentiometers. The A/D conversionis based on a first-order oscillator. A combination of classicaland some new measurement techniques has been applied on a singlechip to obtain high accuracy, good long-term stability and areduction of the effects of interference and parasitic elements.The circuit has been fabricated in a 0.7 µm CMOSprocess. The main test results are: an accuracy of 10–15bits and a resolution up to 16 bits while the measurement timeis in the range 1–100ms. These results hold over the temperaturerange −20°C to 80°C. Calibrationof the electronic part is not required. The number of externalcomponents has been kept to a minimum.
