The Novato reference design (MAXREFDES16#) is a 16-bit, high-accuracy, loop-powered temperature transducer that transmits temperature information from a remote object to the central control unit over ...

Industrial temperature sensors are widely used with 4–20mA current-loop transmitters in industrial control and automation. In the current loop the temperature sensor converts a temperature into a ...

Using an analog temperature sensor, an op amp, a transistor, and a low-dropout linear regulator, this circuit provides a 4-to-20-mA output over a 3.75- to 28-V compliance range (see the figure).

Self-powered sensor automatically harvests magnetic energy A system designed at MIT could allow sensors to operate in remote settings, without batteries. Date: January 18, 2024 Source: Massachusetts ...

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the first use of ultra-low power temperature sensors using graphene-based solar cells. The test is the first ...

Two papers at the International Solid-state Circuits Conference tackled ultra-low power on-chip temperature sensing, one using an npn transistor and the other by sensing a wire. The npn sensor ...

[Miroslav Hancar] wasn’t satisfied with abusing just a single component for our Component Abuse Challenge. He decided to abuse a whole assembly, in particular, some LED candles. In this project, LEDs ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.

The ITXPlus configurable loop-powered signal isolator from Weidmuller provides complete electrical isolation for control systems featuring a mix of inputs (see the figure). It can measure, filter, and ...

In a groundbreaking application of graphene technology, the first graphene-based solar cells have been successfully utilized to power temperature sensors. This development, reported on November 12, ...
