Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...

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 ...

A 9-V battery or an optional ac wall adapter can power the Model 881 portable in-circuit equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and dc resistance (DCR) capacitor tester. It measures ESR and DSR from 0.1 ...

An AC bridge circuit can be used to measure the unknown capacitance of a sensor, such as a relative humidity (RH) sensor. Some RH sensors have a transfer function of capacitance vs %RH. Usually the ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

In the Kingston-upon-Thames museum are standard yards from the past. Made of iron, theywere the fundamental unit of length in their day. The trouble is they differ in length, some by hundreds of ...
