[Edward], creator of the Cave Pearl project, an underwater data logger, needed a way to measure temperature with a microcontroller. Normally, this problem is most easily solved by throwing a ...

Microchip has announced 10 automotive-grade multi-channel temperature monitoring ICs that use external diodes, transistors or substrate diodes (MCU or other die) as sensors. Called the MCP998x family, ...

The temperature dependent characteristics of quartz crystals prevent time keeping also with state-of-the-art real time clocks from being highly accurate over a wide temperature range, unless ...

The MAX11311 integrates a PIXI 12-bit, multichannel, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 12-bit, multichannel, buffered digital-to-analog converter (DAC) into a single integrated circuit (IC). In ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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

When connected to the KNX system, the Gira pushbutton sensor can switch on lights, turn on music, or lower the blinds, all by simply touching a button. The device also has an integrated temperature ...
