Introduction
The ES51919/ES51920 chipset is a total solution for high accuracy LCR meter
which could measure Inductance/Capacitance/Resistance with secondary parameters
including dissipation factor(D), quality factor(Q), phase angle(θ), equivalent
series/parallel resistance(ESR or Rp). The chipset is fully auto ranging operation for AC
impedance & DC resistance measurement. Because of high integrated circuit design, a
smart measurement for L/C/R is possible (AUTOLCR mode). It means the user could
measure the L/C/R components directly at AUTOLCR smart mode without changing the
function key. User could also select the target test frequencies of
100Hz/120Hz/1kHz/10kHz/100kHz depending on DUT type. Components could be
measured in series or parallel mode according to the DUT impedance automatically.
The LCR chipset built-in a 4.5 digits ADC operates at 1.2/s updating rate nominally
for L/C/R mode. The chipset operates at 0.5/s updating rate for DCR mode.
The general DMM could measure DC resistance only, but the LCR meter could
measure DC resistance and AC impedance. The impedance consists of resistance (real
part) and reactance (imaginary part). For example, Zs represents the impedance in series
mode. Zs can be defined a combination of resistance Rs and reactance Xs. It also could
be defined as a |Z| of magnitude with a phase angle θ.

|Z| =
Rs 2 + Xs 2
Rs = |Zs| cosθ
Xs = |Zs| sinθ
Xs/Rs = tanθ
θ = tan-1(Xs/Rs)
If θ > 0, the reactance is inductive. In other words, if θ < 0, the reactance is capacitive.
There are two types for reactance. The one is the inductive reactance XL and the
other is the capacitive reactance XC. They could be defined as: (f = signal frequency)
XL = 2πf L (L = Inductance)
XC =

Measurement mode
The impedance could be measured in series or parallel mode. The impedance Z in
parallel mode could be represented as reciprocal of admittance Y. The admittance could
be defined as Y = G + jB. The G is the conductance and the B is the susceptance.

Rp: Resistance in parallel mode

Xp: Reactance in parallel mode
Cs: Capacitance in series mode
Cp: Capacitance in parallel mode
Ls: Inductance in series mode
Lp: Inductance in parallel mode
There are two factors to provide the ratio of real part and imaginary part. Usually
the quality factor Q is used for inductance measurement and the dissipation factor D is
used for capacitance measurement. D factor is defined as a reciprocal of Q factor.
Q = 1 / D = tanθ
Q = Xs / Rs = 2πf Ls / Rs = 1 / 2πf Cs Rs
Q = B / G = Rp / | Xp | = Rp / 2πf Lp = 2πf Cp Rp

Actually, Rs and Rp are existed in the equivalent circuit of capacitor or inductor. If
the capacitor is small, Rp is more important than Rs. If capacitor is large, the Rs is more
important also. Therefore, use parallel mode to measure lower value capacitor and use
series mode to measure higher value capacitor. For inductor, the impedance relationship
is different from capacitor. If the inductor is small, Rp is almost no effect. If inductor is
large, the Rs is no effect also. Therefore, use series mode to measure lower value
inductor and use parallel mode to measure higher value inductor.
Open/short calibration
The ES51919/ES51920 chipset provides the open/short calibration process to get the
better accuracy for high/low impedance measurement. The purpose of open/short
calibration is to reduce the parasitic effect of the test fixture.
ZM is defined as total impedance measured to DUT by the special test fixture which
1
has some parasitic impedance. ZM = (Rs + jωLs) + (
|| ZDUT)
Go + jωCo
ZOUT is the target impedance user wants to realize. It is necessary to use the
open/short calibration process to cancel the effect of Rs + jωLs and Go+jωCo.

4-terminals measurement with guard shielding
The DUT test leads are implemented by four terminals measurement. For achieve the
accuracy shown above, it is necessary to do open/short calibration process before
measurement. The test leads for DUT should be as short as possible. If long extended
cable is used, the guard shielding is necessary.
