K
1
is a constant.
C
1
is the capacitance between the high pressure side and the sensing
diaphragm.
C
2
is the capacitance between the low pressure side and the sensing
diaphragm.
Where:
I
ref
is the current source.
V
p-p
is the peak-to-peak oscillation voltage.
f is the oscillation frequency.
Where:
I
diff
is the difference in current between C
1
and C
2
.
