A method of interfacing a LC sensor (10) with a control unit (20) is described. Specifically, the control unit comprises a first (202) and a second (204) contact, wherein the LC sensor (10) is connected between the first (202) and the second (204) contact, and wherein a capacitor (C1) is connected between the first contact (202) and a ground (GND). In particular, in order to start the oscillation of the LC sensor, the method comprising the steps of:
- during a first phase, connecting the first contact (202) to a supply voltage (VDD) and placing the second contact (204) in a high impedance state, such that the capacitor (C1) is charged through the supply voltage (VDD);
- during a second phase (2004), placing the first contact (202) in a high impedance state and connecting the second contact (204) to the ground (GND), such that the capacitor (C1) transfers charge towards the LC sensor (10); and
- during a third phase (2006), placing the first contact (202) and the second contact (204) in a high impedance state, such that the LC sensor (10) is able to oscillate. |
