An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

This year has seen all kinds of impressive sensor advances, whether they involve the applications they serve, the processes that make them, or even their packaging. Combined with wireless technology, ...

Temperature is the most frequently sensed physical variable, so it’s no surprise that literally tens of thousands of sensors are available for it. At the same time, it’s also not surprising that there ...

Texas Instruments has added to its range of digitally calibrated sensor signal conditioning ICs with a single-supply, auto-zero bridge sensor amplifier that has been designed as a building block for ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

UC San Diego has developed a system that uses analog sensors with a direct interface to RFID tags, making them passive sensor devices. The solution includes analog to digital conversion without ...

This article presents the improvement in Analog Front-End (AFE) development and the GUI tool that enables easy customization of analog circuitry. It discusses the application of networks of sensors to ...
