　　The range extension circuit has to ensure that the charge transfer within the sensing capacitance CSENS remains within the input range of the AD7745/AD7746. To achieve this， the excitation voltage needs to be decreased by a factor of F， so that the sensing capacitance connected to the input can be increased by a factor F. The AD7745/AD7746 has two independent excitation sources EXCA and EXCB. For the range extension， the excitation sources have to be set up in a way that EXCB is the inverse of EXCA. With resistor R1 and R2 connected as shown in Figure 1， the resulting range extension factor F is the ratio of the AD7746 excitation voltage between EXCA and EXCB （VEXC（A?B）） and the attenuated excitation signal （VEXCS） at the positive input of the AD8515 op amp. The range extension factor F can be calculated as follows：

　　By using both excitation sources， the mean voltage of the attenuated excitation voltage EXCS remains around VDD/2.

　　The AD8515 operational amplifier in the circuit functions as a low impedance source to ensure the sensing capacitance CSENS is fully charged when the AD7745/AD7746 starts sampling.
