With CPUs and chip sets running at clock speeds that were once thought of only in terms of UHF and microwave communications frequencies, heat generation is a problem for PC-system designers. The ...

Microchip has announced 10 automotive-grade multi-channel temperature monitoring ICs that use external diodes, transistors or substrate diodes (MCU or other die) as sensors. Called the MCP998x family, ...

This Design Idea describes a method by which you can detect and assess air or liquid fluid flow using an externally heated semiconductor diode. Airflow across the heated diode reduces its temperature, ...

Said to simplify design processes, the TMP411 ±1°C remote junction and local temperature sensor monitors thermal diodes found in CPUs, microprocessors, graphics processing units, and FPGAs. The device ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

Probably the most electronically sensed analog quantity is temperature. An essential factor in most environments and critical in many, temperature is widely sensed in industrial, automotive, building ...

Over the past decade, researchers have made many skin-like medical and environmental sensors. But adding stretchable wireless communication circuits to these sensors has been difficult. Those radio ...
