The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

Thermocouples function on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which states that two dissimilar metals combined at two junctions produce an electromotive force, or EMF, at the junctions. The metals ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Editor's note: I am pleased to bring you an excellent RAQ by Yao Zhao, a product application engineer with the China design center in ADI Beijing. RTD (resistance temperature detectors) can provide ...

When making physical measurements such as temperature, strain, or pressure, you need a sensor to convert the physical property into an electrical signal, usually voltage. Then, the signal must be ...
