The maximum sense clock frequency [Fsw(max)] is calculated as follows:
The selected sense clock frequency should be such that the sensor will charge and discharge completely in each sense clock period. The equation for the maximum sense clock frequency comes from the characteristics of the RC circuit.
In an RC circuit, it takes about 5 RC until the capacitor is completely discharged. Because the discharge is performed in half the time of one cycle, the time of one cycle is T = 2 * 5RC = 10RC; the frequency is calculated as 1 / T; therefore, it is 1/10 RC.
