Embodiment Construction

[0023] has been described in the background of the invention figure 1 and figure 2 .

[0024] image 3 An embodiment of the invention is shown in the schematic circuit diagram of . Use positive feedback to place the feedback capacitor 5(C f ) is connected across the amplifier, ie one plate of the feedback capacitor is connected to the non-inverting input 6 of the amplifier 4 and the other plate is connected to the non-inverting output 7 of the amplifier 4 . In alternative embodiments, a feedback capacitor may be connected between the inverting input of the amplifier and the inverting output of the amplifier. Therefore, in general, a feedback capacitor is connected between the input and output of an amplifier, where the input and output of the amplifier are of the same sign.

[0025] Other known arrangements of providing a capacitor in a feedback loop across an operational amplifier for amplifying the signal from a capacitive sensor are known, as disclosed in US applicati...

Abstract

A capacitive sensor amplifier circuit comprising: a capacitive sensor (1); a bias voltage supply (3) connected across the capacitive sensor (1) via a bias resistor (2); an operational amplifier (4) having an input connected to the capacitive sensor (1); and a feedback capacitor (5) connected between the input (6) and an output (7) of the amplifier (4), the input and output being of the same sign.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the amplification of signals from capacitive sensors. Background technique [0002] Capacitive sensors, such as condenser microphones, respond to received signals by a change in capacitance. This change in capacitance can be converted into a voltage signal by applying a bias voltage across the capacitive element of the sensor and amplifying the change in voltage across the capacitive element caused by the received signal. [0003] figure 1 The schematic circuit diagram shows the utilization with a DC reference voltage of 3(V ref ) in series with the bias resistor 2 (R bias ) to bias a capacitive microphone 1 with a static capacitance value C. Choose the value of bias resistor 2 such that the cutoff frequency of the sensor and bias resistor combination (determined by R bias C is determined by the inverse of the time constant) well below the frequency band of interest, which here is the audio frequency band. charges the cap...
