Capacitance meter can be very helpful in identifying old components where its mark has been erased or became unreadable. Such instrument can be quite expensive, but fortunately we can build it easily with much lower cost. The capacitance meter described here can measure any capacitor between 1pF and 10uF. Here is the schematic diagram of [...]

To obtain an accurate pressure value, we must remove the offset errors. There are  many basic circuit designs that is used to remove the offset errors. This  circuit uses three method to remove the offsets errors, they are symmetrical offset trim, asymmetrical offset trim and amplifier gain adjustment. Here is the circuit: [...]

This is pressure sensor signal conditioning circuit. It is simple and inexpensive circuit because it has small geometry and simple pressure sensor. It just uses a single Operational Amplifier. This circuit obtain power from from 3-V battery. To work properly this circuit must work in  0 C to 50 C temperature range. Here is the [...]

This capacitance meter circuit is similar with previous meter circuit, but it uses transistors rather than logic gates. Here is the schematic diagram: You can see the circuit uses pnp transistor, you can use almost any pnp transistors with frequency bandwidth og 100MHz and collecttor current handling capability of 100 mA to replace [...]

The frequency formula of 555 oscillator is popularly known. For a known resistors and capacitor, the frequency can be determined by a formula. From the math logic, if the frequency and the resistors are known, then an unknown capacitor could be determined by the inverse of the formula. Anyone who has a frequency counter are [...]

Silicon pezoresitive-bridge pressure transducer (SPPT) is very popular in medical, industrial, environmental, and automotive pressure sensor application. The general architecture of SPPT uses a thin micromachined silicon diaphragm incorporates a implanted piezoresitive Wheatson-bridge strain-gauge. The transducer design allows only a small diaphragm deflection sin it has limited elasticity, and this produces only a very [...]
