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 ...
They're not all built alike.
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 ...
The Model 175A01 dynamic pressure sensor from PCB Piezotronics can be used for measuring dynamic combustion pressure in gasoline or diesel engines. This high-temperature (to +600°F/+315°C), ...
This week we got the chance to speak with Daniel Mar from Texas Instruments Product Marketing who showed off what TI notes is the TMP006, the world's smallest digital infrared temperature sensor. This ...
