4 Conclusion

This technical brief gave an overview of the CVD feature integrated into the ADC² module and explained how it can be implemented in an application. By utilizing the built-in CVD hardware, the ADC² can perform relative capacitive measurements on any analog pin by using the internal sample and hold capacitance as a reference. The CVD offers the flexibility to work with several different types of sensors and meet the needs of the user. Refer to Microchip’s ADC² Technical Brief (TB3146) as a resource when configuring the ADC² for CVD functionality. For more information or specifications pertaining to the CVD refer to the device data sheet.
