What is the difference between piezoelectric and piezoresistive pressure sensing?
Piezoelectric is the property of a material to generate a voltage when mechanical force is applied to it. In contrast, the piezoresistive effect is the property of a material’s resistivity to change when subjected to a mechanical force. In either case, the mechanical force or stress can be compression, tension or a bending force. Ceramic […]
TDK introduces revolutionary MEMS-based CO2 gas sensor platform
TDK Corporation announces the InvenSense TCE-11101, a miniaturized ultra-low-power MEMS gas sensor platform for direct and accurate detection of CO2 in-home, automotive, IoT, healthcare, and other applications. The TCE-11101 introduces new technology that expands TDK’s sensor leadership into new applications and solutions, as part of the new SmartEnviroTM family. Its small size and low power […]
What are the different types of light sensors?
Light sensors or photosensors, which are designed to measure light intensity, are one of the most commonly used sensors in electronic applications. Light intensity is one of the seven base physical quantities. The measurement of light intensity is useful in many consumer, industrial, and security applications. What is a light sensor? A light sensor is […]
How to design an LDR light/dark sensor using Arduino
Light sensors are widely used in electronic applications. The most common one used is a photoresistor or light-dependent resistor. Despite a long response time, this sensor is inexpensive and useful in several applications. A photoresistor consists of a zigzag track of photo-sensitive semiconductors. It offers pure resistance although this is dependent on the ambient light. […]
4 to 20 mA current loops made easy
by Edward E. Herceg, VP and CTO, Alliance Sensors Group A 4-20 mA current loop is a very common method to convey the sensor data acquired for analog sensor data transmission. Sensors or transducers are usually designed to measure a range of values of the measured parameter, known as the measurand. The measureand value must […]
Tiny light/RG color and flicker detection sensor measures ambient light down to 1 flux
AMS releases the TCS3410, a combined ambient light/RGB color and flicker detection sensor with a tiny 2 mm x 1 mm footprint, further expanding customer options for use in their bezel-less and ultra-narrow bezel smartphones. At just 0.5 mm high, the TCS3410 can easily fit in a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera or in […]
