1-02-2003 | Most commercial digital Capacitance meters can measure capacitors from a few pFs (picofarads) up to 2,000 µF (microfarads). A few are able t...

1-12-2002 | As demonstrated in this article, a simple test instrument is sufficient to unravel the mysteries of the cryptic and impossibly small print o...

1-12-2002 | At the time that the I2C bus was developed, a maximum bus capacitance of 400 pF was assumed. This means that with properly designed intercon...

1-09-2002 | How about an in-circuit capacitor tester to take the strain out of tracking down faulty capacitors? No need to solder out any capacitor, sim...

1-12-2001 | Maxim (www.maxim-ic.com) have recently introduced an innovative IC the MAX1474 also called a FLECAP (Fine Line Electronically trimmable Capa...

1-12-2001 | Normally, the level of a liquid in a container is determined by sensing changes in the capacitance or resistance between a pair of electrode...

1-07-2001 | This DC-to-DC converter delivers a maximum power of about 36 watts at an efficiency of 90%. Apart from a modern FET and a Schottky diode, th...

1-02-2001 | In the previous instalment we measured capacitances and resistances. You may have wondered if this was all worth the effort, when accurate a...

1-12-2000 | This circuit makes it possible to simulate a variable capacitance, with the value set by a potentiometer. The amplification stage around IC1...

1-05-2000 | Everyone nowadays is familiar with screens with which you can draw or type by touching a finger or a pen to the screen. How do such screens...
