How does a silicon temperature (temp) sensor IC actually measure temperature? These ICs take advantage of the basic temperature-dependent behavior of silicon PN junctions. If you have two PN junctions ...

To understand the concept of a remote temperature sensor and how it differs from a local temperature sensor, it’s best to first review some basics of temperature-sensor ICs. A silicon ...

The many available options for temperature-sensing transducers. The unique challenges and benefits of using thermocouples for temperature measurement. How a new IC greatly simplifies utilizing ...

Designed to overcome the high-temperature testing challenges associated with noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) powertrain and vehicle underhood testing, the Automotive Sensors division of PCB ...

We installed the new Ballistix modules in a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 motherboard, and set the XMP timings in the BIOS. Next we installed the MOD software in the Windows 7 Home Premium OS and proceeded to ...

Soldering image sensors directly to the PCB can be a very risky and expensive practice in terms of damaging the color array during soldering, scratching the glass cover during cleaning, blistering the ...
