A pressure-sensitive capacitive sensor includes a sensing unit in which a plurality of column wires and a plurality of row wires are formed in a matrix, a detecting signal generator, and filters. Capacitances at intersections between the column wires and the row wires change in accordance with externally applied pressure. The detecting signal generator sequentially outputs pulse signals of a predetermined frequency to the column wires of the sensing unit. The filters are connected to the respective row wires of the sensing unit and extract amplitudes of signals of the predetermined frequency. The amplitude is proportional to the capacitance at the intersection.
