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 ...

Most simple circuits you'll find for measuring reactive components cover only a limited range of component values. Here's a circuit built from a handful of inexpensive parts that will let you measure ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Faster and ...

Two new ICs are described as fully integrated devices that offer direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion. The single-chip AD7745 integrates all stages of ...
