Norwood, Mass. — Analog Devices, Inc.'s new families of capacitance-to-digital converters (CDCs) and impedance-to-digital converters (IDCs) simplify instrumentation and sensor design in industrial, ...

Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

Paul Whytock reports on integrated converters that tackle the signal-processing challenges of direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion. The world's first high-precision, ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

Capacitive sensing has emerged as a promising non-contact approach for acquiring biopotential signals such as electrocardiograms and electrodermal activity. Unlike conventional methods that rely on ...

Any grizzled electronic engineer will tell you that RF work is hard. Maintaining impedance matching may be a case of cutting wires to length at lower frequencies, but into the low centimetre and ...
