My previous four columns examine thermistors, RTDs(resistance-temperature detectors), and thermocoupletemperature sensors (references 1 through 4). The integratedtemperature sensors on the market can ...

Linear Technology launched the LTC2983 high performance digital temperature measurement IC which directly digitizes RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C ...

Probably the most electronically sensed analog quantity is temperature. An essential factor in most environments and critical in many, temperature is widely sensed in industrial, automotive, building ...

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 ...

Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) announced the release of the S-5852 Series, featuring both digital output with I2C interface for continuous temperature monitoring as well as a thermostat function ...

Design demands include a decrease in device size, cost and power consumption, while improving accuracy, sensitivity and reliability, observes Bill Walsh of Digi-Key Electronics. Of the four common ...

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 ...
