7.1.1 Sensor Design

The LDC0851 relies on two externally placed sensors (LSENSE and LREF) and a capacitor (CSENSOR) for proper operation. The design and matching of the coils is very critical to ensure a proper switching occurrence. It is also important to note that the parasitic capacitance of the board (CBOARD) and of the LCOM input pin (CIN_COM) are in parallel with CSENSOR, and the sum of all three capacitances create a total capacitance (CTOTAL) which is considered part of the system. CTOTAL must be greater than 33 pF to be considered in the valid design space.
