Charge Transfer Acquisition Overview 96
• It uses a sampling capacitor (CS) in which the electrode (CX) charges are transferred to
• Charge Transfer is performed through analog switches directly embedded into the GPIO
• The charge transfer cycle is repeated N times until the voltage on the sampling capacitor reaches
the VIH threshold of the GPIO it is connected to
• The number N of transfer cycles required to reach the threshold represents the size of Cx
• The number of transfer decreases when the electrode is touched.
