Temperature-indicator and temperature-based products have generated wide interest. There are numerous applications for such devices with many possible solutions, each with its own advantages and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that ...

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 ...
