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.

If

> 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 X
L
and the
other is the capacitive reactance X
C
. They could be defined as: (f = signal frequency)

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.

Ls: Inductance in series mode
jXp
Rp: Resistance in parallel mode
Xp: Reactance in parallel mode
Cp: Capacitance in parallel mode
Lp: Inductance in parallel mode
Y = 1/Z = 1/Rp + 1/jXp = G + jB
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.
