This temperature profile is one of the principal reasons why we need a PID controller, which will be able to very accurately follow the required dwells and slopes, while also avoiding big oscillations ...

Applications requiring accurate temperature control compensation have new candidates for the assignment in the form of negative temperature coefficient thermistors. The highly precise thermistors are ...

Designed specifically for high-voltage sensing, a new generation of optically isolated amplifiers make monitoring and system protection circuits more accurate and easier to design. These iso-amps can ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

The basic anti-log amplifier looks like the familiar circuit of Figure 1. The approximate equation for V 0 given in Figure 1 comes from the Ebers-Moll model. A more advanced model employed by many ...

It’s rare in 2023 for an instrument to be entirely analog, instead it’s more normal for a front-end to feed the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a microcontroller. Typically the front-end will do ...
