Application note

Capacitor selection guide for STM8T141

capacitive sensor

Introduction

Capacitors feature some non-ideal characteristics that unfortunately limit their use in certain

applications. The objective of this application note is to help designers in selecting the right

undesirable characteristics. For STM8T141 devices, the specific power mode selected and

the proximity sensitivity will also directly influence this decision.
