Designers often want to measure the junction temperature of a DC switching power supply. Knowing a system’s junction temperature is an important and basic requirement from safety and failure mode and ...

This application note discusses some ways on how to maintain accuracy when diodes are employed as remote sensors wiht the remote temperature sensing devices from Microchip. A list of diode ...

Welcome to the first entry in the ‘Rarely Asked Questions” blog series. Measuring temperature with a single GPIO is the matter at hand that kicks it off. As the need for sensing capabilities becomes ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...
