Resistor-temperature detectors (RTDs), are the most stable and popular temperature sensors. Platinum RTDs allow for a much wider range of temperatures than silicon ...

Sometimes, it's necessary to make microvolt measurements in the presence of volts. For example, the need arose to measure the thermoelectric potentials in an RTD circuit in which the 10 V applied to ...

Extended range and higher accuracy aren’t the only good points about solid-state temperature sensors. Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The ...

Bridge circuits have long been popular for conditioning signals from resistive sensors. These circuits are sensitive to small changes in resistance, and they provide a differential output from a ...
