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 ...

We’re big fans of surface mount parts. SMD components are cheaper, take less board space, and don’t require drilling; all the coolest new parts are only available in SMD packages. Smart Tweezers are a ...

How to effectively measure ultra-low bias current by recreating the measurement scheme from an app note. Measuring input capacitance and input current. Creating a better measurement environment. 3. Cp ...

Today I got a multimeter (nothing fancy, precision is +/-0.5% for DC current to tweak my lines (Antec Truecontrol).<BR><BR>Findings:<BR>- motherboard measurments are generally unreliable, for instance ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...
