Abstract
A capacitance to be measured is connected between the input and output of an inverting amplifier. A bistable circuit has an input connected to the output of the inverting amplifier and an output impedance inversely proportional to the capacitance to be measured. A resistive feedback is connected from the output of the bistable circuit to the input of the inverting amplifier.
