Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

As discussed in the first part of the article, the accuracy with which sensor capacitance can be measured using absolute capacitance measurement has a significant dependency on the accuracy of the ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230314495A1) describes a capacitance measurement circuit that includes an analog front-end circuit, a parasitic capacitor, an analog to digital ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...

As the world shifts toward sustainable transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a key solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, one major hurdle remains: efficient and ...
