When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Melexis has added the MLX91231, a shunt-based sensing automotive current sensor for IVT (current, voltage, and temperature) and a digital microcontroller (MCU). The sensor is designed to measure low ...

From tiny, battery-powered tire-pressure sensors to multimegawatt wind turbines, the nature of today's electronics and the incessant drive to improve energy efficiency make energy measurement a hot ...

In all but the most pedestrian of cases, you really should consider some form of input protection between your sensors and your computational platform. In my “Beginner’s Guide to Sensor Interfacing ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...

The factory-calibrated sensor answers the call for accuracy, integrating high-voltage isolation with an advanced sensing architecture to achieve an industry-leading 0.55% typical sensitivity error ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...
