This article details six essential sensors, along with four necessary questions a design engineer should ask before choosing which ones to use in their next design. In the R&D and electronics design ...

Infrared temperature sensors, used for many years in process control and manufacturing, are now accepted for use in passenger vehicles. Production, reliability and cost issues had to be solved. In ...

RTD and NTC surface-mount temperature sensors from TE Connectivity/Measurement Specialties. The RTD and NTC surface-mount temperature sensors are designed specifically for space applications. These ...

Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that ...

Two papers at the International Solid-state Circuits Conference tackled ultra-low power on-chip temperature sensing, one using an npn transistor and the other by sensing a wire. The npn sensor ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

The 10 multichannel temperature-sensor interfaces in this family are designed to address the complex needs of today’s sophisticated automobile subsystems. Temperature is the most commonly measured ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
