4 to 20 mA current loops made easy

December 2, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas

by Edward E. Herceg, VP and CTO, Alliance Sensors Group For analog sensor data transmission, a 4-20 mA current loop is a very common method to convey the sensor data acquired. Sensors or transducers are usually designed to measure a range of values of the measured parameter, which is known as the measurand. The measurand […]

Electronics that operate in extreme heat to 800°C

November 2, 2020 By Jeff Shepard

Extreme environments require electronic systems capable of surviving beyond the MIL-STD operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This FAQ series will go to extremes and look at super hot electronics (up to 800°C) and cryogenic electronics. Part one of this series looks at electronics that operate in extreme heat. Part two will look at […]

Kelvin 4-Wire sensing solves the “IR Drop” problem

August 20, 2020 By Bill Schweber

Novice engineers usually don’t learn about this problem and its solution in school, but “practicing” ones learn about it soon enough! Problem: I need to determine the change in resistance of a low-resistance sensor located many meters away. My plan was simply to apply a known voltage across the thin-wire sensor leads and measure the […]

What’s new in magnetic sensors?

August 14, 2018 By Randy Frank

At Sensors Expo, Wayne Seto, Senior Director of Product Marketing from Crocus Technology, discusses the company’s tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) magnetic sensing technology. For sensing, TMR is used in number of different applications. Wayne demonstrated several digital latches with omnipolar (CT832DM), bipolar (CT852AN), unipolar (CT832EK, CT832BV, CT832SK and CT811DK) and analog (CT834DR) magnetics. For omnipolar sensing […]
