A capacitance detecting circuit which can ensure flexibility in application without restriction imposed by a capacitance arrangement such as a single capacitance, differential capacitance, differential capacitance electrostatic servo and like arrangements, to a great advantage includes an operational amplifier having an inverting input terminal and an output terminal between which a feedback capacitance component is connected, a capacitance sensor having an electrostatic capacitance subjected to change under action of an external force, a switch for electrically charging the capacitance component of the capacitance sensor by connecting a charge/discharge terminal of the capacitance component to a reference voltage at a first clock timing for discharging the feedback capacitance component and switching the charge/discharge terminal to the feedback capacitance component at a second clock timing to transfer electric charge, and a sample-and-hold circuit for converting the transferred electric charge to the sensor output voltage. |
