Abstract
A capacitive sensor device for approach and/or contact detection can be coupled with an electric circuit () and has a sensor electronics () and a device for potential separation (), which with the sensor electronics () is coupled and by which the capacitive sensor device can be coupled with the electric circuit (). In a method for operating a capacitive sensor device which has a sensor electronics, the sensor electronics can be coupled with an electric circuit and the sensor electronics is coupled with the electric circuit in a separable way with respect to the potential.
