Typically, air flow is measured with a hot-wire anemometer. Here's an alternative version of that concept using two thin-film platinum resistance temperature detectors. A high-performance mixed-signal ...

Thermistor-temperature-sensing devices present a design challenge if you intend to use such a device over its entire temperature range. Typically, the thermistor is a high-impedance, resistive device ...

When you need to measure temperature using thermistors, you face the challenge of linearizing their response to get accurate readings. One of the best methods for linearizing a thermistor is the ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

Thermistors are one type of temperature sensor used on electronic control systems. Technicians servicing these control systems need to be able to test the operation and accuracy of these sensors. A ...

Guest columnist Aaron Podbelski from Cypress Semiconductor describes how programmable mixed-signal microcontrollers can now offer impressive levels of analogue performance As systems increase in ...
