A capacitor is an electrical component that stores energy in an electric field. It is a passive device that consists of two conductors separated by an insulating material known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the conductors, an electric field develops across the dielectric, causing positive and negative charges to accumulate on the conductors.

A capacitive measurement circuit measures the impedance through an oscillating circuit. Since a capacitor is an effective break in a circuit within a DC environment, charge builds up on the plates of the capacitor, causing a charge imbalance—and then the system stabilizes.
The power consumption is around 68mW. The dynamic range is 40 dB. Overall, the dual/multi-slope capacitance measurement circuits provide very high immunity to stray capacitances thanks to the virtual ground in the integrator and low impedance of the excitation signal interface.
Several circuit architectures for capacitance measurements have been proposed, where only a few of them consider lossy capacitances , .
