发明名称 Electronic circuit for controlling a capacitive pressure sensor and capacitive pressure sensor system
摘要 An electronic circuit (10) for controlling a capacitive pressure sensor (1), which capacitive pressure sensor (1) comprises a plate electrode capacitor (C) with a capacity that varies in dependence on pressure changes exerted on a deflectable diaphragm (2) forming one plate electrode of the capacitor (C), wherein the electronic circuit (10) comprises a DC voltage source (12) being adapted to generate a DC bias-voltage (UDC) to be applied across the electrodes of the capacitor (C), an AC voltage source (13) being adapted to generate an AC voltage signal (UAC) to be applied across the electrodes of the capacitor (C) and a controller (18) being adapted to receive an output signal (OUT) of the capacitor (C) and to control the DC voltage source (12) such that the DC bias-voltage (UDC) applied to the capacitor (C) adopts a value that maintains the capacity of the capacitor (C) at a desired value.
