Sometimes, it's necessary to make microvolt measurements in the presence of volts. For example, the need arose to measure the thermoelectric potentials in an RTD ...

RTDs (resistance-temperature detectors) are the preferred sensor choices for designs requiring precision. Although RTDs are approximately linear over the limited temperature range of 0 to 100°C, these ...

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 ...

To maintain high resolution and accuracy within a transducer or sensor-based measurement system, the designer must exercise care in selecting the excitation source for the transducer — and the ...
