When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Miroslav Hancar] wasn’t satisfied with abusing just a single component for our Component Abuse Challenge. He decided to abuse a whole assembly, in particular, some LED candles. In this project, LEDs ...

Posifa Technologies today introduced its new PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, the latest device in the company’s PVC4000 series. Designed for cost-effective OEM integration, the transducer ...

Designed to overcome the high-temperature testing challenges associated with noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) powertrain and vehicle underhood testing, the Automotive Sensors division of PCB ...

We installed the new Ballistix modules in a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 motherboard, and set the XMP timings in the BIOS. Next we installed the MOD software in the Windows 7 Home Premium OS and proceeded to ...
