Abstract
Systems and methods for sampling signals are disclosed. In an example, a system includes a capacitive sampling array having an input interface, an output interface, and capacitive sampling channels connected in parallel between the input interface and the output interface, wherein each capacitive sampling channel has a channel-specific capacitor having a channel-specific capacitance, a readout system coupled to the output interface of the capacitive sampling array and configured to generate digital data in response to a signal received on the input interface of the capacitive sampling array, and a controller coupled to the readout system to receive the digital data and configured to select capacitive sampling channels of the capacitive sampling array to sample the signal in response to the digital data.
