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 ...

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 ...

Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

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 ...

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 ...

ABB has released a new 145-kV high-voltage circuit breaker. The 145PM63-B high-voltage circuit breaker uses a new high-performance interrupter to serve 121-145 kV applications at 40-, 50-, and 63-kA ...

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 ...

Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the low-capacitance SP3014 Series TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diodes), to provide protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic ...
