An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

A PT100 probe is a platinum resistance thermometer with a nominal resistance of 100 Ω at a temperature of 0 ° C. Its features are regulated by the IEC 751 (EN 60751) standard. This type of temperature ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

IST platinum temperature sensors provide solutions for extreme temperature applications. IST platinum temperature sensors are designed with the highest quality materials, allowing them to operate ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...
