LDC1101EVM: indication of "small value"

Part Number: LDC1101EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1101

Hi all

Would you mind if we ask LDC1101EVM?

Our customer uses LDC1101EVM with the coil which is Coil S: 10mm, 16 turns, 4mil trace, 4mil spacing, 2 layers as following document P24.

And then, Fsensor=8MHz, L=24uH, as the calculation(Fsensor=1/(2π*√L*C)), Csensor is 15pF.
Please refer to the following attachment file.

Csensor blank shows "too small" by 15pF.
So, should we use more than Csensor=100pF?

And then, when we don't need to measure Rp value, is it OK to igore "too small" indication?


Kind regards,
