Could I use a PSoC1 instead of a capacitance to voltage converter chip?

I have a project that currently uses a C to  V converter then passes the analogue to the PSoC1 for processing.

I was wondering if I could use the capsense ability to replace the C to V converter and just have a single PSoC1.

PSoC1 can be used to sense capacitances of up to roughly 80pF only. We have software libraries which are built to perform Touch Sensing based on the capacitance principle. Hence, our capacitance measurement is restricted to the narrow range of touch sensing, and may not be really useful to measure capacitances.
