A measuring device is disclosed for capacitive pressure and/or temperature
measurement, particularly for tire pressure control systems, having at
least one sensor, which has a capacitive measuring element to detect a
state value, which is applied at an output-side measuring node of the
measuring element, with at least one A/D converter operating according to
the dual-slope method, with a charging/discharging circuit, for mutual
charging and discharging of the measuring element and for generating a
sawtooth-shaped measuring potential at the measuring node as a measure
for the capacitance of the measuring element, with a period counter,
which determines the periods of the measuring potential, and with a clock
counter, which determines the cycles of a clock signal, which lie within
the duration of at least one period of the measuring potential. The
invention relates to a measuring method for capacitive pressure and/or
temperature measurement.
