Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

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 ...

Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual tolerance ranges afford. Precision matching of components from parts on ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they store and release electrical energy in electronic circuits. Capacitors ...
