TIDA-00662: Frequencies used for measurement?

Lars Jorgen Lindahl

Part Number: TIDA-00662

Hi,

TIDA-00662 High Performance Capacitive Sensor Front-End Reference Design

1: Does this reference design come with some software? I found a reference to downloadable software, but I am unable to find it.

2: What is the maximum frequency that can be applied to the measurement signal across the capacitor?

Thanks!

Hello,

for the software of TIDA-00662 we are referring to our third party mentioned on the Design Folder (http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00662) --> NewTec

Regarding the maximum frequency we will get back to you with further details.

Regards

Alex

Hello

in the reference design an excitation frequency of 12kHz has been used, running the data converter at a sampling rate of 48KHz. Theoretically the sampling rate can be as high as 192kHz resulting in an exciattion frequency of 48kHz assuming we want to have 4 samples. However, this has not been tested in the system a would require additional validation.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. I need to get myself one of these cards. I will talk to NewTec how that can be arranged.

I am quite excited as from the brief looks of it this circuitry may (will) be a great shortcut for me. (I have a need to update a capacitance instrument we've been selling for +25 years.)

Have a great day!
