| Zusammenfassung: | A method and an integrated circuit for detecting capacitance variation includes the steps of: generating a detection frequency for capacitance variation and a detection frequency which lags the detection frequency by k times, wherein the detection frequencies are based on a time divisional format; operating the detection frequencies to produce a difference frequency; operating variation rate of the difference frequency; and comparing the variation rate of the difference frequency with a predetermined detection level, and outputting a signal indicative of capacitance variation if the variation rate of the difference frequency is greater than the detection level. |
