This fire sensor circuit exploits the temperature sensing property of an ordinary signal diode IN 34 to detect heat from fire. At the moment it senses heat, a loud alarm simulating that of Fire ...

Results My first conclusion is that the simplest method of all, a diode and a 10 kΩ resistor fed into an ADC, is sufficient for non-precise work across any reasonable temperature range.

The multimeter is a measurement device most used by engineers and we use it in this temperature indicator circuit schematic. The temperature sensor is LM335 wich has a linear characteristic of 10mV / ...

Sensing using a micro-device at high temperature is a critical problem as a Si readout circuit does not work at high temperature, even if a sensor itself is heat-resistive. We for the first time ...

The slope of the dependence is related to the bias current value, and can be positive, negative or zero. Hence, the diode-connected transistor can be used as a controllable temperature sensor. This ...

This board is designed to stabilize the temperature of a silicon microring modulator (photonic chip) located on a separate board. The microring modulator (MRM) includes an integrated diode (used as a ...

For reduced power, the sensor can be put into sleep mode, reducing consumption to 10 µA. In a MSOP-8 package, price is $1.75 each/1,000. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC., Dallas, TX. (800) 477-8924.
