This part is designed primarily for stand-alone instrumentation applications. Primary applications include fluid level sensors, distance sensors, material detectors, transducer amplifiers for pressure and humidity sensing functions, and other uses requiring quantified capacitance data. Unlike other Quantum products, the QT301 does not process its acquired data. Its only output is raw, unprocessed data in filterable PWM form that can be translated into an analog voltage by a simple RC network. This allows the designer to treat the device as a CAC for measurement applications. The PWM range is set via two inputs that control the starting and ending point of the conversion range. For example, if the capacitance range of Cx is from 27pF to 38pF, the QT301 can be c……
