As electrolytic capacitors age, their internal resistance, also known as “equivalent series resistance” (ESR), gradually increases. This can eventually lead to equipment failure. Using this design, ...

[Peter Demchenko] wanted to use a low power TS555 in an ESR meter design. The problem is, he needed to handle significant current sink requirements for cases where the capacitor under test had a low ...

Capacitor (n): a troublesome electronic component that accumulates and discharges trouble for other components. I can’t prove it, but I’ll wager that capacitors are near the tops of everyone’s ...

Ideally, I'd like to get one of these models, assembled and working, but I may accept a kit with all the parts present (like the one using the Blue LED):<BR><BR>ESR Micro v3.1<BR>ESR Micro ...
