6.6.1.1 Capacitive Measurement Registers

The capacitance measurement registers are 24-bit result registers in binary format (the 8 LSBs D[7:0] are always 0x00). The result of the acquisition is always a 24 bit value, while the accuracy is related to the selected conversion time (refer to Electrical Characteristics). The result of the measurement can be calculated by the following formula:

Equation 1. Capacitance (pf) = (measurement [23:0]) / 219 ) + Coffset

where

  • Coffset is based on the CAPDAC setting.
