We don’t know if this will come as a surprise to the regular Hackaday reader, but a whole bunch of Atmel microcontrollers have a very cool feature hidden away in their datasheets. Most of them – ...

They're not all built alike.

Here are four ways that advanced sensors support the transition to industrial-scale liquid cooling.

Temperature measurement and control is one of the most critical processes used in electronics. Found in virtually every piece of electronic equipment and in every industrial process, temperature ...

Temperature measurement is considered to be an extremely vital physical parameter when determining reliability, accuracy and quality of processes in industrial use as well as in almost every single ...

More sense than money.

Two different families of digital-output ICs related to temperature offer new user options: one interfaces with up to four external diode sensors plus internal self-sensor and the other targets ...

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 ...

Temperature sensor integrated circuits (ICs) have several advantages over negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. For example, temperature sensor ICs have a much more linear response than ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...
