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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In 2008, Bob Pease exchanged e-mails with Linear Technology’s Mark Thoren, me, and a few other friends. The subject was how an amplifier will oscillate if you put a capacitive load on it. Bob knew ...

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 ...
