The invention discloses a measuring circuit and a measuring method for a
variable capacitor array, and belongs to the technical field of
capacitance measuring circuits, the measuring circuit comprises a controller MCU, a DAC
chip, a first logic switch, a
capacitance sensor array, a second logic switch, an
alternating current amplification circuit and an ADC
chip, the controller MCU sends a first
alternating current signal through the DAC
chip, and the first logic switch sends a second
alternating current signal through the ADC chip; a first alternating current
signal enters the capacitive
sensor array after being switched by the first logic switch, is output to the capacitive
sensor array after being switched by the second logic switch, and is converted into a second alternating current signal after passing through the capacitive sensor array. The output second alternating current signal is converted into a
voltage signal after passing through the alternating current amplification circuit, the
voltage signal is sent back to the controller MCU after being subjected to digital-to-analog conversion through the ADC chip, the controller MCU outputs a measured
voltage value, and the
capacitance value of the capacitive sensor array is obtained according to the measured voltage value. And through the arrangement of the controller MCU and the logic switch, circuit chips are saved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
