Sensors are energy conversion devices. Sensors or transducers convert the physical world of light, pressure, temperature, flow, level, acceleration, force, etc. to electrical signals but generally ...

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

A new scanning microscope developed at Brown University can uncover defects in the smallest and most complex integrated circuits at a resolution 1,000 times greater than current technology. The ...

Features a 12-bit digital readout using sigma-delta A/D converter February 18, 2008 -- Bangalore, India and Gilroy, California -- Cosmic Circuits today introduced a silicon-proven temperature sensor ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Allegro Microsystems has introduced isolated differential current sensor ICs based on the Hall effect. Accuracy is typically +/-1% from 25 to 125°C, and +/-3% from -40 to +25°C. Both the ACS724KMA ...
