While conditioning is necessary for measurement precision, accuracy also relies on factors such as signal transmission and sensor construction. The transmission distance can affect the signal quality, ...

Thermistors and silicon temperature sensors are widely used forms of analog-output temperature sensors. A silicon temperature sensor is a far better choice than a thermistor when a linear relationship ...

The LMT87/LMT87-Q1 are precision CMOS integrated-circuit temperature sensors with an analog output voltage that is linearly and inversely proportional to temperature. Its features make it suitable for ...

Environmental temperature fluctuations can cause sensor output variations separate from measured pressure. A sensor’s thermal sensitivity dictates the severity of these output errors, with higher ...

On what seems like almost a daily basis, a news flash talks about some electronic product overheating, causing potentially catastrophic problems. While an overly hot product can, of course, cause ...

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 ...
