Impedance measurement in EIS

Category: Software
Product Number: ADUCM355

Hi ,

 I am working on M355_ECSns_EIS example.  For testing , 3  1K ohm resistors where connected in a star network and the resultant impedance shown was 1k in uart. Does this mean the evaluation board measures only one branch of star network ( between SE and star network midpoint) ? When 2K resistor was connected to SE and the midpoint of the star network, the impedance on uart was 2K Ohms. Could someone explain , what impedance ( between which points)  is actually measured ?

  • Hallo  

    Yes the impedance between SE and Midpoint is measured. Thus is why you see also 2kOhm in the results, when you connect 2kOhm between SE and midpoint. Whereas other resistors are 1kOhm. By the way, in total there 4 resistors connected to CE,SE,RE and DE. As in Figure 22 of the EVAL-Board manual.

    For impedance measurement of a typical chemical sensor, you need a reference electrode (RE) as well as counting electrode (CE).
    Sensing electrode (SE) gives you the output of the sensor.
