Abstract

See full text

A capacitance measuring circuit uses only a DC voltage source to perform the capacitance measurement. For this purpose, the circuit is arranged to charge an unknown capacitor which is being measured from a DC source and to discharge the capacitor through a constant current circuit such that the discharge voltage across the capacitor decreases linearly from its initial value to a predetermined, final value. The measurement circuit monitors the time taken by the capacitor to discharge in order to determine the capacitance value.
