How does a silicon temperature (temp) sensor IC actually measure temperature? These ICs take advantage of the basic temperature-dependent behavior of silicon PN junctions. If you have two PN junctions ...
To understand the concept of a remote temperature sensor and how it differs from a local temperature sensor, it’s best to first review some basics of temperature-sensor ICs. A silicon ...
The Model 175A01 dynamic pressure sensor from PCB Piezotronics can be used for measuring dynamic combustion pressure in gasoline or diesel engines. This high-temperature (to +600°F/+315°C), ...
The many available options for temperature-sensing transducers. The unique challenges and benefits of using thermocouples for temperature measurement. How a new IC greatly simplifies utilizing ...
This week we got the chance to speak with Daniel Mar from Texas Instruments Product Marketing who showed off what TI notes is the TMP006, the world's smallest digital infrared temperature sensor. This ...
We installed the new Ballistix modules in a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 motherboard, and set the XMP timings in the BIOS. Next we installed the MOD software in the Windows 7 Home Premium OS and proceeded to ...
Allegro MicroSystems has announced the A31316 3D Hall-effect position sensor, the latest addition to its 3DMAG line of 3D sensors. Offered in a 4 × 4 mm body PCB-less package, this sensor is intended ...
Soldering image sensors directly to the PCB can be a very risky and expensive practice in terms of damaging the color array during soldering, scratching the glass cover during cleaning, blistering the ...
