Abstract:
Measurement apparatuses and methods are described. A measurement input is coupled with a first terminal of a capacitance via a first switch, and a reference voltage is coupled with the first terminal of the capacitance via a second switch. A measurement circuit is coupled to a second terminal of said capacitance.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first capacitive element, an input portion including a first switch and a second switch, wherein the first switch and the second switch are configured to switch periodically; a voltage input coupled with the first terminal of the first capacitive element via the first switch, a reference voltage node at a first reference voltage coupled to the first terminal of the first capacitive element via the second switch, a comparator, wherein a first input of the comparator is coupled with a second terminal of the first capacitive element, a successive approximation register that is coupled with an output of the comparator, and an array of second capacitive elements, wherein each one of the array of second capacitive elements has a first terminal that is coupled with the first input of the comparator and a second terminal that is selectively coupled with a second reference voltage node,\n wherein the comparator, the successive approximation register and the array of second capacitive elements are designed to tolerate voltages with a magnitude less than a first voltage, \n wherein the first switch and the second switch are designed to tolerate voltages with a magnitude less than a second voltage, and \n wherein a magnitude of the second voltage is greater than a magnitude of the first voltage.
