capacitor - Converting variable capacitance value to variable DC voltage level


I need a simple method to convert a small variable capacitance value into considerable variable DC voltage.



  • Capacitance value range = 0nF ~ 14nF

  • DC value range needed = 0V ~ 6V



What I've tried is shown below. However final output should be a pure DC level without any ripples for a fixed Cx. But the following circuit seems to be still have ripples or noises.



  1. Is there any improvements to be made for this circuit to get a pure DC output?

  2. Are there any other methods/circuits to do this task?


enter image description here



  • Ro=100k

  • Oscillator frequency is about 71.78 Hz (t1=7mS, t2=6.93mS)

  • Cx is the variable capacitor (Range 0nF~14nF)

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
