Measuring
Large Capacitance the PSoC Way
This PSoC-based project is a well-designed large
capacitance meter. The heart of this cost-effective project
is a CY8C2443 microcontroller, which uses only one external
resistor. Designed especially to measure the capacitance of
electolytic capacitors, this project’s degree of accuracy tops
traditional bridge circuits. The problems caused by parasitic
semiconductance are minimized by the use of a stabilized source
of direct current to charge the capacitor.
