Abstract
A system includes a signal generator and a correlator. The signal generator outputs a first signal to a first end of a capacitance to be measured. The correlator is connected to an output of the signal generator that outputs the first signal and to a second end of the capacitance. The correlator receives the first signal from the output of the signal generator and receives a second signal from the second end of the capacitance. The correlator correlates the first signal and the second signal and generates an output signal based on a correlation between the first signal and the second signal. The output signal is proportional to a capacitance value of the capacitance.
