Thermocouples, resistance-temperature detectors (RTDs), and thermistors make up the vast majority of sensors for measuring temperature, but you can also use a diode or transistor's P-N junction as 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, ...
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 ...
You can use an ADT7461 single-channel temperature monitor; an ADG708 low-voltage, low-leakage CMOS 8-to-1 multiplexer; and three standard 2N3906 pnp transistors to measure the temperature of three ...
Avtech Software last week introduced an appliance and software that monitors heat in computer rooms and data centers. The rack-mountable TemPager notifies the IT manager when temperatures rise or fall ...
