Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and methods of impedance sensing are described. One method includes performing a first digital conversion of an attribute of a sensor electrode and performing a second digital conversion of the attribute of the sensor electrode. The second digital conversion differs by at least one characteristic from the first digital conversion. The method further includes calculating a resistance of the sensor electrode from a first and second digital value of the first and second digital conversions, respectively; and calculating a capacitance of the sensor electrode from the first and second digital value of the first and second digital conversions, respectively.
