An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

This paper defines a method to measure the chip die pad capacitance using time delay reflectometry (TDR). This method is useful for measuring the low-value capacitance that is present at the end of a ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

The other day Linda from Purchasing came to me with a problem: Lou from Operations needed to source a replacement for a shorted diode on a switching power supply. The darned thing was marked with a ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...
