This technical document discusses a simple method of converting a PWM output signal into an analog output signal employing a Hall effect sensor or PWM sensor. This article covers the behavior of PWM ...

A current sensor with PWM output is a very useful type of device. Traditionally, the device can serve in a digital application where the host microcontroller can determine the ratio of the on-time to ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Promoted as low-cost components, the Virtu and Virtu18 ultrasonic sensors are now available with analog outputs. Both are dual-mount, barrel-style sensors with a sensing range from 50 mm to 508 mm and ...

The MAX6612 precision analog output temperature sensor features a large change in output voltage with temperature change—19.53 mV/°C—for greater noise immunity than conventional temperature sensors.

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
