  • Precise Current-Transmitter/Source-Sink Calibrator Has Wide Compliance Range

    By Shasta Thomas, March 26, 2009

    Many industrial and control applications use analog current loops as the physical link for measurements and actuator control. Here's a loop-calibration circuit with high output impedance and wide 4-to-90-V compliance range.

  • Filter Trims Ultra-Precision Voltage Reference

    By Randall White, October 02, 2008

    VOLTAGE REFERENCES GENERATE WIDEBAND noise spectrums. For most semiconductor devices, this spectrum usually has a wideband “white noise” component with relatively constant power density versus frequency, and a “pink noise” or “1/f noise” co

  • Twisted Pair Accurately Reads Digital Temperature Sensor At 1000 m

    By Tina Alikahi, November 05, 2007

    The best way to make midrange, low- to medium-accuracy temperature measurements (considering size, cost, performance, and ease of use) is to use an IC temperature sensor. But most IC temperature sensors are designed for applications wh

  • Digitize Thermocouple Output Near Sensing Point

    By Tamer Mogannam, September 28, 2006

    The thermocouple is a popular sensor for industrial temperature measurement because it's accurate, cost-effective, widely available, and suitable for a wide range of temperatures. It consists of two wires of different metal or metal alloys, welded togeth

  • Telecom Supply Powers Temperature Sensor

    By Alfredo Saab, February 16, 2006

    IC temperature sensors generally are preferred in data-acquisition systems when the accuracy demands aren't extreme. Sensor, signal-processing, and data-conversion electronics are all integrated in the IC along with an easy to use digital-I/O interface,

  • Single Supply Yields 0- To 5-V Ramp

    By Ahmad Ayar , May 12, 2005

    Using standard circuits and no auxiliary voltage generators (such as charge pumps or inductive dc-dc converters), it's difficult to build a precision, rail-to-rail ramp generator that operates on a single supply and resets to a well-defined level. F

  • High-Power LED Driver Accepts Wide Input-Voltage Range

    By Vladimir Vitchev, January 20, 2005

    The advent of high-power LEDs that can replace incandescent bulbs has produced a need for circuits that efficiently match the LEDs to available power sources (batteries, car electrical systems, etc.). The circuits should also be able to regulate and c
