    Abstract

    This paper proposes a low-power, high-linearity capacitive-sensing readout circuit with timing signal processing and a feedback loop. The timing subtraction and delay-line feedback help to improve the dynamic range of the readout circuits without increasing power consumption. This design achieves R2 linearity that is greater than 0.99 in a capacitor range of 20–90 pF and 5.6 µs/pF while only consuming 31µW. While implemented using digital circuits, the proposed design provides more flexibility over sensing element variations as well as scalability for advanced technology nodes.
