Encoding system and method for differential capacitive transducer

A transducer system and method of use thereof by sequentially operating a comparator to produce a series of pulses in which the time distribution of the pulses is representative of the transducer value, and is used to normalize the sensed value in the event that the total transducer value varies due...

Zusammenfassung:A transducer system and method of use thereof by sequentially operating a comparator to produce a series of pulses in which the time distribution of the pulses is representative of the transducer value, and is used to normalize the sensed value in the event that the total transducer value varies due to environmental influences. The transducer is adapted to monitor the substantially linear movement of the level (fuel-air interface) of fuel in a tank and the angular position of an input shaft.
