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 ...
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 old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...
Piher Sensors & Controls has introduced the MTS-360 Mechanical Mount Rotary Position Sensor with integral PCB for fast and easy mounting. Designed with the sensor directly mounted onto a PCB, the ...
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 ...
