Temperature sensors must sometimes operate at locations whose return potentials differ considerably from that of the data-acquisition system's common—that is, equipotential—ground. In consequence, the ...

Although this circuit connects the DS18S20 1-Wire temperature sensor to a Cypress CY8C26443 PSoC microcontroller, designers can easily adapt it to connect other 1-Wire devices to any microprocessor.

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, ...
