Abstract
The invention relates to a capacitive sensor, the associated evaluation circuit and an actuator for a motor vehicle having the above-mentioned sensor for detecting the distance, speed, or position of an object, having a reference capacitance and two measuring capacitances, wherein a square-wave voltage is applied to the reference capacitance and the measuring capacitances via a resistor and a pulse which has a variable period and represents a measure of the particular measuring capacitance is obtained with the aid of a switching stage.
