摘要
An exciter of periodic square-wave current for measurement of complex ac impedance or admittance is described. A microcontroller/processor outputs two digital words that define upper and lower current levels. These words are latched and converted to analog voltages by D/A converter circuitry. A timing signal at the measurement frequency, also outputted by the microprocessor/controller, controls a multiplexer arranged to select either analog voltage. The multiplexer output thus toggles between the two programmed analog voltages at the measurement frequency. By virtue of negative feedback, the toggled multiplexer output voltage equals the voltage developed across a resistance in series with the cell/battery. Two complementary transistors and a dc voltage source are arranged such that a positive multiplexer output directs a programmed current through this resistance in the “discharge” direction, and a negative multiplexer output directs a programmed current through it in the “charge” direction. Accordingly, the current through the cell/battery is a symmetrical square wave having frequency, amplitude, average value, and average flow direction completely under program control.
