Abstract
An industrial process control transmitter has a capacitive sensor having at least three outputs each responsive in differing amounts to a process condition and to sensor hysteresis. An excitation circuit charges the sensor and pumps the charges to a sigma-delta capacitance-to-digital converter. The excitation circuit includes a charge amplifier coupling one of the sensor outputs to a summing node for summing with a charge on at least one other output. An auto-zeroing switch re-sets the charge amplifier on each cycle of operation of the charge amplifier.
