The MVCBT015 is a programmable, highly accurate, capacitance-to-digital converter and bridge interface that is designed to be easily integrated with
capacitive and bridge sensors. The chip features very fast measurement times, low operating power, and very low standby currents, making it very suitable for
low-power and portable applications. The ASIC also includes a high-accuracy integrated temperature sensor that enables the user to compensate for
temperature dependencies of the sensor elements, as needed.
