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 circuit in which the 10 V applied to ...

Bridge circuits have long been popular for conditioning signals from resistive sensors. These circuits are sensitive to small changes in resistance, and they provide a differential output from a ...

Extended range and higher accuracy aren’t the only good points about solid-state temperature sensors. Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The ...

Tucson, Ariz. – A programmable 4- to 20-milliamp current loop transmitter from Texas Instruments Inc.'s BurrBrown product line provides for digital calibration of sensor and transmitter errors, thus ...
