  • Methods and circuits for measuring mutual and self capacitance
    Patent number: 8570052
    Abstract: An embodiment of a capacitance measurement circuit may include multiple switches, a first node coupled with a first electrode and coupled with at least a first switch of the multiple switches, and a second node coupled with a second electrode and coupled with at least a second switch of the multiple switches, where the multiple switches are configured to reduce an influence of a self-capacitance of the first electrode and a self-capacitance of the second electrode on an output signal during measurement of a mutual capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode, and where the multiple switches are configured to reduce an influence of the mutual capacitance on the output signal during measurement of at least one of the self-capacitance of the first electrode and the self-capacitance of the second electrode.
