1. A capacitance interface circuit, comprising:

  • a first switch, having a first terminal for receiving a positive reference voltage and a control terminal for receiving a first control signal;

    a second switch, having a first terminal for receiving a negative reference voltage, a second terminal coupled to a second terminal of the first switch, and a control terminal for receiving a second control signal;

    a first capacitor, having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the second switch, wherein the first capacitor has a variable portion and an invariable portion;

    a third switch, having a first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the first capacitor and a control terminal for receiving the first control signal;

    a fourth switch, having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first capacitor and a control terminal for receiving the second control signal;

    a fully-differential amplifier, having a positive input terminal coupled to a second terminal of the third switch and a negative input terminal coupled to a second terminal of the fourth switch;

    a first feedback capacitor, having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the third switch and a second terminal coupled to a negative output terminal of the fully-differential amplifier;

    a second feedback capacitor, having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the fourth switch and a second terminal coupled to a positive output terminal of the fully-differential amplifier; and

    a cancellation means, for cancelling the invariable portion.
