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 ...

Abstract: The continued demand for higher performance in modern microprocessors places strict timing constraints on the high performance modules such as dynamic circuits and register files. In ...

Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

Abstract: Based on the safety spark test apparatus, the Short-Circuit Spark Discharge (SCSD) behavior of the simple capacitive circuit and switching converter are studied. It is pointed out that their ...

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 ...

Trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) based capacitance-voltage (C-V) readout circuits are widely used in micro-machined gyroscopes' control system. In this work, the noise performance of a TIA and charge ...

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the industry's first power device capacitance analyzer that automatically characterizes power device junction capacitances using real operating voltages. Agilent ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

The capacitances of series capacitors add up like resistors in parallel: Below, we see that a series of capacitors of capacitances C1, C2, and C3 can be lumped together to form a single capacitor of ...
