Abstract:
An asynchronous capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) is described that allows for very low-power operation when during inactive periods (when no conductive object is in contact or proximity to the sensing electrodes). Asynchronous operation of the CDC provides for capacitance-to-digital conversion without the use of system resources and more power intensive circuit elements.

Claim (Index 13):
The CDC of  claim 8  further comprising a first zoom capacitor coupled to the first input of the comparator and a second zoom capacitor coupled to the second input of the comparator, the first and second zoom capacitors for applying first and second step signals onto the first and second inputs of the comparator.
