The high temperature of power components is a well-known phenomenon in electronics. To overcome this challenge, designers mount heatsinks on the components to dissipate the heat. However, in many ...

The project has been constructed for applications that require automatic temperature control while providing highly accurate thermal control circuit. The LM35 temperature sensor is the heart of the ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

This article details six essential sensors, along with four necessary questions a design engineer should ask before choosing which ones to use in their next design. In the R&D and electronics design ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

We love the extra touches that [Andrianakis Haris] added to his two-zone electronic thermometer. It includes features that you just wouldn’t find on a mass-market commercial product because of issues ...

To help meet ADC market demands for higher-accuracy temperature measurements, Linear Tech enhanced its temperature sensor with multiple operating modes and by streamlining its analog inputs. The ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...
