    Abstract: A reading device for capacitive sensing element comprises a differential capacitive sensing element, a modulator, a charge-voltage conversion circuit, a phase adjustment circuit, a demodulator and a low-pass filter. The modulator outputs a modulation signal to the common node of the capacitive sensing element and modulates the output signal of the capacitive sensing element. The two input terminals of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit are connected to two non-common nodes of the capacitive sensing element. The charge-to-voltage converter read the output charge of the capacitive sensing element and convert it into a voltage signal. The modulator generates a demodulation signal through the phase adjustment circuit. The demodulator receives the demodulation signal from the phase adjustment circuit and demodulates the output of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit. The low-pass filter is connected to the output of the demodulator for filtering the demodulated voltage signal to output the read signal.
