CAV444 - C/V-Converter IC with Linear Voltage Output

Package variants of the C/V-converter IC CAV444
CAV444 is a capacitance-to-voltage converter IC for the measurement of single capacitances. Its ratiometric output voltage signal is proportional to the input capacitance. CAV444 can be used as stand-alone IC or as front end for µC. Its wide capacitance measurement range and high sensitivity allow various applications.

Applications

  • Humidity measurement
  • Distance measurement
  • Capacitive pressure sensors
