When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Most of the Allegro unidirectional current sensor ICs are trimmed such that the zero ampere output is at 0.1 × VCC. This application note documents a simple operational amplifier circuit which can be ...

Sensors of all types have come a long way in the last few years and tend to be more accurate and more stable than their predecessors. These sensors are not always simple to use. Designers of ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

Some photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and rotary encoders generate a digital dc output called a push-pull signal. The external environment activates the sensor, which, in turn, closes a ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Measuring low voltage test points on particular X-ray machines has required an oscilloscope which could be a time-consuming measurement. The new X2 Volt Sensor makes ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...
