Abstract
This paper addresses the challenges related to the design of a high-resolution, low-latency capacitive displacement sensor. An auto-alignment mechanism of the sensor head is proposed which relaxes the resolution requirement of the readout circuit. The measurement strategy that enables power-efficient low latency measurement is introduced.
