In all but the most pedestrian of cases, you really should consider some form of input protection between your sensors and your computational platform. In my “Beginner’s Guide to Sensor Interfacing ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

The latest automotive designs require smart sensors to deliver the high level of precision and robustness linked with the capability of local pre-processing of the measured data. HAL 28xy devices meet ...

Silicon Laboratories is aiming to simplify the task of connecting sensors to its microcontrollers. The interface, called the direct sensor interface technology (DSiT), can be evaluated using a digital ...

The vast majority of electronic devices today use the sensors to detect some physical phenomenon in the world that surrounds us (like temperature, pressure, light intensity, etc). The sensors ...

For many IoT applications, such as those installed outdoors, wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) can be powered using solar technology. In the presence of light, the system is powered by the solar source, ...

The IEEE 1451 Committee steps forward to join conflicting sensor user and manufacturer demands by adopting compatible interface standards. Editor's Note: The words transducer and sensor are used ...

Analog Devices has introduced a sensor interface IC that will enable the next generation of intelligent electrochemical sensors. The device incorporates potentiostat and Electrochemical Impedance ...

[CNLohr] has been tinkering with some fun parts of late. He’d found out that ordinary LCD screens could be used as simple touch sensors, and he had to try it for himself. He ended up building a little ...
