A temperature sensor IC is a two-terminal integrated circuit that generates an output current that is proportional to temperature. Temperature sensor ICs are available in two types analog temperature sensor IC and digital temperature sensor ICs which are used in consumer, industrial, portable, home appliances, medical, etc because of their low power consumption and accuracy. The main features of analog temperature sensors are good linearity, less power utilization, accuracy, and temperature … [Read more...]
What is Thermistor : Working, Types & Applications
Temperature sensing is considered to be the most important part of any electronic application. In the household appliances or the industrial environment, the measurement of temperature to set certain limits for operation is needed. There are various sensors for this purpose some of them which are frequently preferred are Thermocouples, Semiconductor sensors, Resistance Temperature Detectors are popularly known as RTD's and Thermistor. While experimenting with the behavior of the … [Read more...]
