Measure capacitance on a mutual capacitive touch sensor

I interpret the mechanism of a mutual capacitive touch sensor like this: There are 2 electrodes X and Y. To measure the difference in capacity, the X electrode is driven high (i.e 3.3 V) and the Y ...

Multimeter Negative Resistance

I have a Fluke 87V multimeter and sometimes when I measure some resistors (in power supply PCBs I saw it) it shows me negative value of resistance. Why this? It is some flaw of the multimeter or it ...

Issues with Designed Capacity Measurement Circuit

I made a circuit to determine the capacity of an unknown capacitor. To test if the circuit is working I wanted to test it with a known capacity first. The circuit and the derivation for the ...

Why does the capacitance value of an MLCC (capacitor) increase after heating?

I have a general purpose MLCC capacitor design kit, which consists of capacitors of different values. I took a 2.2 µF (X5R, 16 V, +/- 20 %, -> this one) capacitor out of it and measured its ...
