Title:
CAPACITANCE-TYPE SENSOR DEVICE AND CAPACITANCE-TYPE SENSOR CAPACITANCE MEASURING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/125725
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a capacitance-type sensor device capable of accurately measuring a capacitance while being reduced in size. The capacitance-type sensor device comprises: a voltage applying element (21) connected in series to the first electrode (11) of a capacitance-type sensor (10) and applying a periodic rectangular wave voltage to the capacitance-type sensor (10); a rectifier (22a) connected to the second electrode (12) of the capacitance-type sensor (10) and rectifying electrical charges charged to and discharged from the capacitance-type sensor (10) when the voltage applying element (21) applies the periodic rectangular wave voltage; a smoothing capacitor (C1) connected in parallel with the rectifier (22a); current measuring shunt resistor (R1) connected in parallel with the smoothing capacitor (C1); and a voltage measuring unit (220) for measuring voltage (Vx) between both ends of the current measuring shunt resistor (R1).
