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 ...

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

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 ...

Depew, NY. PCB Piezotronics Inc., a manufacturer of vibration and pressure monitoring instrumentation, has announced the release of accelerometers designed for use in research and development programs ...

Soldering image sensors directly to the PCB can be a very risky and expensive practice in terms of damaging the color array during soldering, scratching the glass cover during cleaning, blistering the ...
