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 ...

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 ...

Walking through most process plants or remote facilities, an observer will encounter a sizeable collection of temperature and pressure instruments. Without knowledge of the two critical parameters of ...

How to navigate the expanding market and avoid missteps where the newest sensors provide more capability than what you’ve ...

The Basic Amplified ABP Series is a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor that offers a ratiometric analog or digital output for reading pressure over the specified full sclae pressure span and ...

Luís Carlos first realized he might be able to make a nanothermometer while developing light-emitting diodes (LEDs) more than 15 years ago. His team observed that lanthanide ions in the diodes reacted ...
