Industrial temperature sensors are widely used with 4–20mA current-loop transmitters in industrial control and automation. In the current loop the temperature sensor converts a temperature into a ...
Transmitters are available with either floating outputs (typically used in loop-powered applications) or with single-ended outputs (typically used in locally-powered applications). This application ...
Significant efficiency and performance improvements can be realized by improving the current loop’s power supplies, replacing linear regulators with high-efficiency buck regulators. It also increases ...
The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...
If you're seeking a way to measure current and power in a circuit, you need to know about current-sense amplifiers (CSAs). A CSA is a specialized op amp connected as differential amplifier with ...
