18.5
There are two ways to measure capacitance with the
CTMU. The absolute method measures the actual
capacitance value. The relative method only measures
for any change in the capacitance.
18.5.1
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps found in
Section 18.4 “Calibrating the CTMU Module” should
be followed.

• T is a fixed delay
• V is measured by performing an A/D conversion

Not all applications require precise capacitance
capacitance-based switch, only a relative change of
capacitance needs to be detected.
In such an application, when the switch is open (or not
touched), the total capacitance is the capacitance of the
combination of the board traces, the A/D Converter and
other elements. A larger voltage will be measured by the
A/D Converter. When the switch is closed (or touched),
the total capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances and a smaller voltage will be measured by
the A/D Converter.
To detect capacitance changes simply:

The voltage measured by performing the A/D conver-
sion is an indication of the relative capacitance. In this
case, no calibration of the current source or circuit
capacitance measurement is needed. (For a sample
software routine for a capacitive touch switch, see
