Where there is power there is heat, and where there is heat there is often a need to sense temperature (the most widely sensed physical variable). What we call temperature is our measurement of a ...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

Central Semiconductor has created a line novel of zero temperature coefficient current limiting diodes, packaged in DPAK and rated at between 27 and 575mA. Minimum voltages range across 1.5 to 2V – ...

Battery-powered vehicles are in vogue, making accurate battery-temperature monitoring that much more important. Here's an Idea for Design that will show you how to implement temperature monitoring in ...

High-temperature sealing of silicon-diode sheets has been achieved with a technique that may provide hermetically sealed semiconductor devices without the use of cans. The method is adaptable to ...
